Yoga day

I went to my first yoga class in Olympia today.  I chose to attend a class for folks living with cancer.  There were about eight of us there.  Most are currently in treatment.  One woman is two years 'out' from diagnosis.  Another is ten years out.  I am twelve years out now.  Two of the women are Stage 4 breast cancer, and one woman has rather severe melanoma.  All were in good spirits, even though two were given not so good news very recently.  Everyone goes out to lunch after class.  I wasn't prepared to go with the group today, but I will go with them next Tuesday.  I really enjoyed the class.  I needed it.  I also need to get my home practice back on my daily schedule.  I feel a little more motivated to do that after today.

For the first day of Spring, it was a really cold, gray and rainy day.  Oh well.  It's still not bothering me, though I, along with everyone else I've talked with, am ready for warm weather, hopefully with some sun thrown in.

I took the puppies to get their nails trimmed yesterday, and the three of us did really well together.  I don't normally try to take the two of them somewhere together by myself, but now I feel like we can do some stuff together in the future as long as it's not too 'involved'.

I got really tired after I got home from yoga today and ended up actually falling asleep on the couch.  Every so often I get these 'attacks' of the sleepies and just have to stop.  This was one of those days.  And I've been pretty tired for the rest of the day and evening.  So, I think I'll call it a night and go upstairs, curl up in bed, and read for a while.

And that's it for tonight.
