I kind of had a crappy day.
First, I had to get a lot of things together this morning for lunch, my snacks, and dinner. When I got my food out for lunch I realized I'd left the sauce for the salmon at home. This basically negated my dragging three ziploc containers of food (the salmon, the roasted eggplant and peppers, and the tomato which I broiled this morning while putting together my salad for lunch) on the metro. I had yoga at 7:45 tonight and wanted to eat right at 5:30 so I'd have two hours to digest and go to yoga without being afraid I'd cramp. So I said screw it, took a personal hour, and left work at 4:30 so I could get home and eat properly. I have the personal time, and so I took it.
Then, at the yoga studio, there was a note on my card saying that I'd taken two classes at the other studio without a pass so they added them onto my 10-class pass I purchased on August 16. The thing is, I'd made sure when my unlimited pass ended so I'd get the 10-class at the correct time. I don't know if the studio owner wrote the note, but I was really upset that they'd think I'd "steal" classes. Thankfully I'd kept the email saying my pass ended on August 8th so I could prove the classes they'd attributed to this pass are definitely covered under the old one. I must be pms'ing or something, because I was in tears before tonight's class started. I seriously almost rolled up my mat and left and my calm was almost totally broken. It was very difficult to get myself centered and focused on my body and breath, I kept thinking about the note, and what I'd say in the email. I got myself calmed down, though, and made it through without dwelling on the issues. During the last set of meditation my mind kept drifting back and I almost gave up. Maybe my mind is getting stronger, I managed to somehow put my attention back on my breath and body, but it wasn't the easiest time I've ever had.
I hope this gets resolved tomorrow. I don't want to go into Thursday night's class with a chip on my shoulder against the owner. She's also the one who teaches the Thursday class.
Now it's already 9:51 and getting very close to my bedtime. I still have to wash the dishes and cook my breakfast for tomorrow when all I want to do is curl up in bed and sleep. I'm really tempted to just set the alarm early. However, if this morning's 5+ hits on the snooze button are any indication, I'll be rushing around trying to get everything together for a second day.
Please let the rest of this week go a little better.
Addendum: Looks like Kyra's checking her email late, the yoga classes are resolved. Got my email back, she said to just fix it next time I'm at Columbia Rd. "No worries at all, just correct your pass the next time you are in." They'll learn, they can trust me. I'm serious about my practice and would never do anything to take advantage or cheat the studio.
Addendum 2: Another thing I forgot. I've been going into the empty office of a retired researcher for my daily meditation during lunch. Today I find out the end of our suite may be rented out, and that office taken over. Nooo! It's not that big of a deal, I can always use the intern room, although if someone's in there I obviously can't. There's another office at the other end but it's kind of a traffick-y area and I don't like people knowing I slip into an empty office every day. They'll probably think I'm sleeping (again). The world again conspires to ruin my comfy schedule!
