rise above

oh sweet bliss...

i am listening to the dirty projectors sing "Rise Above" loud on my speakers, eating a big bowl of fruit i cut the other night just for a moment like this.

it's FRIDAY. i made it thru another week. thank the stars!

i did some yoga today. funny story: the class i went to is called "Sando Yoga" and i remember seeing that and thinking "huh, i've never heard of that kind of yoga before..." but today, in class, about halfway thru, i realize it's actually the guy's name. a large-ish Indian gentleman who wore linen pants and a golf shirt to teach us yoga, which consisted mostly of stretching forwards and backwards and calling everybody "his friend." good times. i might go again.

i took a swim afterward and then came home and made myself a delicious dinner (homemade salsa and guacamole with a burrito! i'm getting good at this!) and now i'm just about ready to crash. another funny thing about today's yoga class was that during the "meditation" or "resting" session at the end, i'm pretty sure i dozed off. when we were sitting in lotus pose, i started nodding off, and then when he instructed us to lie down on our backs, i took the liberty of falling asleep entirely.

i'm just so tired lately. all of today was spent tossing a beach ball around and teaching my students how to read number lines and factor numbers and subtract 6 digit decimals. now that's a mental workout!

i'm going to plan my weekend (make sure i have time to play/do nothing) and then, TO BED!
