its actually been kind of a stressful exhausting 8 days. i started the class straight from a week teaching in lompoc not teaching yoga..ha, teaching new employees the "ropes" of being a federal wild land firefighter apprentice...ugh so lame! i raced home down the 101 to try to make it to a restorative class in hopes of landing before class. thanks to the amazingly soothing Alana, i landed as i had hoped.
as the week continued, so did my stress level. this is odd, because i rarely really stress. because i had taken 2 weeks off of work, people freaked a little bit. I've been bombarded with phone calls and emails. literally, filing my cell phone voice mailbox 2 times last week. i had 3 totally random people STOP bye my house asking for help with resumes. my best friend broke up with her boyfriend of 5 years an needed me to help her move from San Diego to OJ. she has also needed emotional support, of course! not to mention all of my other friends who rarely get to see me during summer months have been vying for attention during my "vacation".
I'm not even going to go into the financial burden of lawyers and vehicles and what not that Andy and i have been dealing with. lets just say that in 2008 alone, we have spent almost $20,000 in attorney fees! with another court date just around the corner.
the funny thing is this class has actually just MADE me drop everything around 12:00 everyday, because i have to be downtown. i can worry for the first 10 minutes of class, then i simply forget. when class is over, its dark and time to go home! it's amazing! for the first time this morning, i realized that this class is what has kept me sane on my vacation! ha!
i am so thankful for Lisa, Celine and Kira for being so loving and supportive. this really has been a great experience for me. it's SO nice to chill with chicks! my everyday life is so full of masculinity all day long, which is not necessarily bad, but its exhausting sometimes. i take a bath almost every night, just to unwind. often have the sound of hulk hogan like voices in my head from the replaying the work day.
I'm really happy that Lisa feels comfortable to share with us. she spoke about her breast cancer last night. she so lovely, she has perfect teeth. I'm thankful that i have these really strong lovely ladies to spend my last few days off with. no flexing, yelling, spitting, farting (well maybe a bit) going on , just breathing.
