Decisions!
I hope today was spiritually auspicious for decisions, because there were a few made!
Joanie decided to give it until April 1 before she decides whether to quit her job. That's to give the brand new management a chance (even though signs so far are ominous), and also because she sees a troublesome summer coming on and people are avoiding that issue now while there IS still time to do something about it, so if she gives notice in the beginning of April she'll walk out of there three months later, just in time to NOT be the one who has to deal with the summer chaos.
I decided to buy a new printer. My old one (from the previous millennium!) finally packed it in today after LONG and faithful service. Aw, the little HP that could. So I looked up a printer online that looks like what I need for a reasonable price, and it was so convenient to just order it and have it delivered here, I went ahead and did that. I don't want that kind of thing, like changing printers, to be more of a hassle than it has to. Just get it over with fast, like ripping off a band-aid (not that I would ever do THAT fast!).
I decided to start yoga classes again - real classes at a dedicated, spiritual yoga school, not just the physical aspect yoga at the gym. I was twiddling my thumbs a bit this afternoon - no work to do, couldn't print invoices because my printer had just packed it in - so I spent some time on Facebook, where a friend of mine mentioned yoga. That reminded me to go look at the yoga school website, and lo and behold, a very suitable course was due to start this evening! So I turned up there hoping there would be a spot open, and there was.
*Siiiigh* It was so great to be back there, in that room so saturated with spirituality and peace, and do some REAL yoga again. During the initial relaxation my body felt stiff as a board. I was trying to lie on my back and relax but it was like my body was only touching the floor at a few points and I couldn't get more of it down there. I felt like my body couldn't trust the floor to hold it up, and if I relaxed I might slide off. But during the yoga nidra at the end, after the asanas, I got that wonderful deep relaxation back and my body was resting fully on the floor and even seemed to sink into it a little, like the floor was jelly under me. Mmmmmm. I feel fantastic now!
