In Pretty Good Shape

Just took an hour-and-a-half class of Bikram (aka sweatbox) yoga and made it through the whole class without having to take a break or passing out. AND I didn't feel like I was going to throw up at the end. I must be in much better shape than the last time I took the class! There was a time when we were doing the Camel Pose that I though I might pass out, so I came out of the pose. It's a deep stretch toward the end of the class and it stimulates the nervous system, so it can make your heart race. Apparently I wasn't the only person who came out of the pose early because while we were recovering and about to go into the pose for a second time, the teacher said, "Try to stay with the pose this time. You may feel light headed or even slightly nauseous, but just breathe through it. It's okay to be uncomfortable. Just stay with it and breathe." I thought--that'll preach.

As I write, my egg cooker is cooking away so that I can make two dozen deviled eggs for the American booth at tomorrow's Family Fun Day at ACS.

We're going to break down and take the car into the Peugeot dealership to see what they'll give us for it. It's gotta be better than being cited for abandoning it on the side of the road. Am getting ready to post our table and chairs on Freecycle to see if someone will pick it up and haul it away. If it works well, I may post other things before the movers come. My wonderful friend Pam has offered for Maddie to come to their house and spend the night on the day the packers are coming. What a great gift!

I'm carrying around four Oyster cards (bus and tube passes) right now. We have extras for guests and some of them were hooked up to our bank account to automatically top up when the credit ran low. I've cancelled all the top ups on all the cards except the one Skip is using to get to work and back. I'm just going to use the rest until I use up all the credit on each.

Been going through the kitchen cabinets and am imagining some interesting meals in the days to come as I try to use up what we have.
