Sunday, May 17: breakfast at home. Hot Yoga 25th Anniversary.

Good day everybody I didn’t sleep quite as well as I did last the other night, but it was OK nonetheless. I went out andfetch Coffee at the café and Mary made some bacon eggs and toast and it was very good. After that we went over what kind of things we would be bringing to a lack of such as bear spraying special Wolfe socks to keep the ticks away. We then talked to Alice for a little while and I talked to Donna for a little while about next Sunday, etc. I had some iced tea and got ready for our 4 PM Class and Hot Yoga celebration. Today’s the first day I’ve been wearing shorts since last year. It’s 87° right now as of 3:21 PM today. Hard to believe it’s just warm. We’re getting ready to go to the 4 PM class and then to the party that starts at 6 PM. we are getting ready for the class and in walking over there. We have plenty of time that I realized I forgot my hat. I have to have my hat special when it’s sunny and 87° outside I’ll burn my head off. I had skin cancer so I have to be extra careful with my head. Anyhow, we went to Tina‘s class and it was a very spirited and intense class. Tina commented that it was everybody was focused and with and doing really well. I like Tina I like her classes. I told her later on that you know it’s good. It’s nice to have you teach in the afternoon. Anyhow, class ended, and I took a shower and drank the rest of my water and then the party was getting started for graduates from training were given their official Bikram Hot Yoga certificates. They really did earn it I cause can’t imagine how hard that class was. Memorizing all that stuff and also just the grueling schedule they had they had to kind of give up part of their lives for 18 weeks since January. They started class right after Maryann I got back from Cozumel. They really earned it. Anyhow, the party was pretty good. They had the harvest and a DJ so it was like funk with harp player. It was really interesting. She played it a Yin class at one point when Linda was teaching Yin. She was very good. So they invited her back and it was very very nice event. They had alcohol for some people and they had pasta salad and and nonalcoholic drinks and I got the talk to people. I usually don’t get to talk to because I’m not Mr. social I’m you know I just go to class chill out with my woman. She and seeing people in normal street clothes and actually talking to him like you’re at a social event is fun. Yeah I don’t go out that much. I don’t do bars and I don’t do real social activities very often. At least I think I don’t. Anyway it was very fun. We got some really nice pictures. There’s one of Mary Sue Marion myself. That is the best pictures of the whole night and we took them at the very beginning when us three were sitting with each other on the bench. We asked byron if he need any help and he said he had it covered so we headed back to Mary’s house where we did somersault it was really fun. And if you believe that, I have some land in Alaska I’d like to sell you. Anyway, I’m kind of a blabbing because I have lot of pictures. I’m gonna put in there and some are summer summer salt summer better than others and my camera seems to be a little bit fuzzy in certain light situations. That’s my big complaint about the iPhone 13 is it doesn’t really do well with low light lot of the time. Maybe Apple actually improved upon that over the last five years. I hope I don’t have to find out till after September of this year. Anyway, it’s almost 10 o’clock. Mariah and I are gonna decide if we’re gonna eat any more food or not otherwise we’re just chilling out getting pictures and it’s fun.

Saturday, May 16: sleeping in late. Yoga.

Well, last night we crashed around 10:30 11 o’clock and didn’t wake up completely till about 12:45 PM. We didn’t have enough time to eat breakfast here so we just went to the café and hung out for a while and I had my usual breakfast burrito and Mary had a breakfast medley. That sleep was really good. I really needed it. I had one of those Anxiety drinks about losing my shorts with my wallet in it looking for my wallet. Anyway, we got back to Mary’s about 315 now. It’s time to get ready for yoga just 3:29 PM Eastern daylight savings time of course. well, Mary and I walked towards the studio for 4 PM class with byron the trainees look like they were just finishing up their last class. They’re all hanging out out front when we got here. I forgot my Gatorade so I’m gonna try and a different flavor, some kind of berry stuff with 75% less sugar, but at least it had a little bit of sugar in it anyway that’s that 3:51 PM. Byron are the class and it was a good class. There was a nice amount of people in class. I was really thirsty and I bought a different flavor of Gatorade which is some kind of purpleish punch. Anyway, it was OK. I had a really weird aftertaste, but I washed it away with the water and I drank all that so I think I’m gonna get a nice smoothie to fill me up and thirst me up. I’m very thirsty right now. It sounds 6:06 PM. We’re gonna have some bowls for dinner but first we’re gonna mellow out. It’s very nice day outside. it was a high of 77° today. We enjoyed those balls. They’re very tasty. They’ll take that long to cook and they have protein in them which are very nice tomorrow. Supposed to be a little bit warmer than today was. Actually gonna hit 90° by early in the week.
