Almost thanksgiving
Oh my god. I was awake until 1:00am coughing. And then I finally fell into some kind of fitful half-sleep, but kept waking myself up coughing. Like at 5am. And then by the time I felt like things had calmed down and I was really enjoying being in bed, it was time to get up and go to class.
We started Friction today. Great. It's still hard to be excited about it. I remember in the beginning with Shiatsu I had these feelings of "Ok great, but I still can't DO much of anything." The difference was, we had a good overview of where it was all going and I felt an eagerness to get there. In this class, I don't know where we're going, and so I've been hanging back, reluctant, wondering if this is all worth my time and interest.
So reading that I think I know where to go next, especially given that I've technically committed to spend the time regardless of where it goes. Might as well be proactive about all of this.
Hydrotherapy is such a great class. We did foot baths, fomentations (basically, hot compresses), and contrasts (hot & cold dunks). So pampering.
So we all watched our time really well, got through everything planned, and impressed Soyka (and myself, for that matter) so much with our enthusiasm.
Meals have been a bit lacking lately. The kitchen crew is putting all of their effort into Thanksgiving preparation, with less important things like, oh, what I'm going to eat today falling lower and lower on the priority list. That would be great if I were actually staying for Thanksgiving.
Instead, I packed up and took off. There were a lot of cars, it seemed, on 101 N, and almost none on my side. That's good, but not what I expected.
Tonight, SF. Tomorrow, Santa Cruz.
