Thursday, January 25: Overcast, Slow Day

Today I tried to get up a little early, so I wouldn’t be asleep to go to Mike’s.

 That plan fell flat on his face, because SEPTA is running really stupid this morning with the trains being

 late because of operator unavailability. Then the train went snails pace 

between Melbourne and 60th St. For some unknown reason. I didn’t get the Mike’s till 8:50 AM. I’m gonna have to absorb the 20 minutes to go to class. Anyway, I decided that I would take 

it easy at work today and try to do a little running around and doing anything as I can cause I just feel weak and I felt fairly weak throughout 

the day, except during the lunch hour when I was having my caffeine blitz with the diet Pepsi, and the super coffee with my lunch.  I decided around 3 PM 

today that I would not go to class because I have that weekend feeling like I did yesterday we almost fainted twice. I’m 

feeling more so that way today. Not that I’m going to faint but but I really 

can’t exert myself ridiculously. So excited I go to Mary’s and maybe

take a nap  And hang out and then go to CODA later tonight I purposely 

didn’t schedule any appointments maybe I should’ve but maybe next Thursday I’ll schedule Henrique session to go with my CODA. We’ll see how I feel. Anyhow,

 it’s now 4:06 PM. It’s over class, but it’s not raining which is totally clutch. I left my water Mike’s to stay 

cold, and that’s the day. I went to Mary’s and immediately took a 
nap for two hours and oh my God that was fan friggin fantastic I couldn’t even imagine how good a nap could be that was more than a power nap that was super nap. Wow was that good! Anyway, I took the bus To my CODA meeting and that was a very good meeting. I signed up to be the GSR for the group and chair meeting next week February 1. In fact that’s next week so things are kind of getting back to the normal.

Sunday, January 21: Leaving Costa Rica and Travel Adventures

This morning there was no foundation, but we had ourselves 

a really nice 8 AM yoga class with Chris. It was more full today than yesterday. It was a really nice session and everybody was kind of solemn afterwards just because 


it’s a last class. Anyhow, I went ahead and took a nice shower and got my last-minute packing done. I did some videos and dumb. We then went to breakfast and then breakfast was really very tasty and they 

had bread with it and it was they had guac as well. It was very good. I ate a lot of the fruit, including the papaya and the pineapple. Afterwards, get some finishing up with the packing and 


decided I would keep my travel yoga mat because it was good to me and never know when you’re gonna need it. Anyhow, after breakfast, and after the packing, the guy in the 


van came over and we all set her goodbyes and loaded our stuff in the in the vans. The airport ride was much smoother because it was a lot cooler and I didn’t have long pants on. we had nice conversation in the van with folks
 and it’s now 3:04 PM and waiting for our boarding call to Charlotte. We got to Charlotte OK despite the fact that they had to replace one pilot with another so instead of leaving 

at 6 PM which would’ve forced us to miss the flight they found somebody in time, but then the hell really began when we got we were a group of four or five other people and they all got on 

the plane but we missed the plane and somehow they all got in front of us. We got in the wrong line at TSA and then we went up to the gate in front of this goober who told us that oh our tickets were given away

 15 minutes ahead of time which I know is patently false because the people in our 

group barely Barely made. In fact, we texted one of them and they said all of them just 

showed up and barely made it, so I don’t know what the fucking hurry was. I think they were 

all anxious to leave and they’re under pressure leave the goober

 was told to tell us that we were about two minutes late for the flight  so we’re staying 

overnight at the Charlotte airport cause they offered the hotel room 

even though we proved to them that it was due to the airline but they said that the pilot was overtime because 

of flight delays and flight delays. Do not entitle you to shit from 



Airlines and that’s all I gotta say about today , so we will definitely be the

 talk of the town we go back to the studio now I probably won’t do any yoga till Tuesday so that’s that and I’ll have to have to cancel my therapist appointment as well. 

Saturday, January 20: Last Full Day in Costa Rica

Good morning !!☀️ It’s now 9:42 AM. We just finished the 90 minute 

class with Chris before hand. We went to fairly quick foundations class and had some of that delicious delicious Java that they serve here. Oh my God that coffee is to die for it 

is really yummy and delicious, we had our 90 minute class and that was enjoyable and now I’m going 

to shower. After this, after the shower, we ate some delicious breakfast with 



it had bananas in it, which Mary approved of very much. And I we talked with some

 of the folks and they took a group photo of everybody that was there 

Kristen and Rob weren’t there but mostly everyone else was there, Mary got the phone number so and I asked a couple people send me text text messages so when I get my phone fixed, God willing I’ll be able to 

get the text messages. After that Mary and I took a walk towards the beach but we didn’t go to the beach
 we went to a first to jalapeño which is a little little restaurant

 store. Got some waters found out that Mary really responded well to bottled 

water instead of the water that we get here , she felt better. Instant

 like it was Dr. Oz elixir used to advertise after we went then we went to that restaurant Corazon surf surf surf Café and I had my second breakfast sandwich and 


Mary tried it and she liked it and Chris Fluck was there our yoga instructor with his daughter and he 
was digging on the sandwich and we talked

 to him for a while he then left and we hung out there for a while. I got myself a T-shirt they had some so I paid $35 for the T-shirt  and after that we walked back in for Chris is 2:30 PM class 

walk back seem to tire me out or at least I got tired. I still did Chris’s class and I was feeling a little like weak. But I made it through and more people came to the class this time, I was so tired I took 

a nice hard hour and 15 minute nap. Mary also relaxed as 

well. Oh so groggy but it felt great so I went to dinner and dinner with Joe. We hung out for a while

 and talked and exchange a funny picture and made it into a sticker of the other. Mark looking naked would be some of 

the other women in our group. Everybody’s cracking the hell up I I should be getting a picture on my phone soon of 



that that was really enjoyable then after that went to the fire pit that they have built and



 we talked about the sweat lodge which I was going to write a whole separate blog posting about but I never 

got to it because right after that, my phone died I think the spirits ate my phone.  Rob talked about

 it very clearly there were four stages. The first round with delivering our intentions to the spirits. The second round  Letting in the spirits, inviting them. I don’t recall the third round but the fourth round was letting the

 spirits go. Rob was very descriptive and he sounded like he was an expert at it and it was really good to hear

 my one of the record them but it was too dark outside after a while we all we we all got to know each other a little bit better. It was really
 nice we some of the exchange 

numbers I’m gonna have to figure all this out next week when I get my phone fixed. Right now it’s 1020 it’s time to go to bed cause I’m going one more yoga class But but OK. Send Back to me
