I have $150 left in the bank.............................And I'm almost done shopping. Man, the stress of shopping and driving this year is like really bad crack. I took off last week to play with Sasha up in Davis, which was delightful until I woke up the morning of my departure with a particularly explosive version of the stomach flu. TC literally leapt out of the bathroom for me a few times. Fortunately, well for me, they had all had this flu so they were knowledgeable and compassionate, which is nice when spewing noxious substances. I made it home and am back in the saddle, plan to practice at Tim's tomorrow. Yeah!

My poor Tom is beleaguered. The business is ech and I am just hoping for a change in his fortune. The oddest thing I've learned about being with someone for this long {almost 4 years!} is how much more their bad news is really your bad news. Granted, he doesn't do what I say...but I wish he'd just get a break....it hurts to see him struggle.

Yoga felt so good tonight. I had only practiced once on my trip, a little self practice and some show-off to Sasha....I likes to show my buds the tricks...before I was laid out by the evil purge. But as "emily" says in The Devil Wears Prada" , "I'm only one stomach flu away from my ideal weight." I felt very spacious and open today, nothing hurt...not even the old sore spot on the piriformous. So we'll see what a true studio practice does with all the extra vata. I actually got "stuck" in a handstand today. That hardly ever happens.

Well good luck to you all on your Holiday Hustle, may you all get the spot, the sale, the smile you're after.
