i'm quitting yoga.

yogi master dennis is no longer the instructor and i don't like the new person. actually, i quite like her as an individual, but i don't like the style of yoga she teaches. i was bored out of my head, for the second time with her, and found myself watching the clock the whole time ("it's only 8:00! we still have 45 minutes of this! argh!"). i really wanted to bolt, i have too many other things i enjoy doing to endure a class that i'm NOT enjoying. but i bit my lip and went thru the motions, while firmly deciding never to go back. well... maybe in january, apparently she's just an interim instructor until the new year. so instead i'll keep doing pilates and treadmill on mondays, and probably pick up some treadmill on wednesdays right after work.

someone has moved into the cubicle closest to me. that's where angela our summer student used to sit, she was quiet and listened to her ipod all day. but this new neighbour joins in my conversations with my colleagues from where she's sitting, which just confirms to me that she listens in on ALL my chats. that bothers me a lot. my mom called me at the end of the work day, and we were having a private convo, and the whole time i was thinking about how the lady was probably listening. it was really irritating. unfortunately, my mom's phone was crappy and quite frequently she'd say "hello? hello? i can't hear you", so i'd have to shield the mouthpiece as i spoke into it to muffle my voice. hm. oh well, i do like her, she's a nice lady. i guess i'll get used to it.

i was feeling concerned about the week ahead. it was going to be busy and i thought i'd loose steam and not be able to accomplish everything. but thankfully i got things juggled fairly well and i have a free evening to be at home and work on the probono design work i have on the go. i'm determined to attain and maintain balance in my life. it just seems like i'll need to be conscious of it, it won't naturally happen.

we like you because you're cute and young.
