when i was at yoga class last night, i realized how tense i�ve been lately. my body was so stiff; it couldn�t seem to get into the positions that it has become used to in class. the more difficult postures we did last night�well, they were torturous. i couldn�t even completely relax at the end of class when we do progressive relaxation. (the fact that george, the daddy warbucks lookalike, was snoring loudly may have had something to do with that.) if i can�t relax in yoga class, i don�t know what to try next. i think that part of my problem is that i�m feeling like things at work and home are piling up. so i�m going to make an effort to get more organized and get some things done. this morning, i actually made a list of things i want to try to accomplish at home this weekend. i haven�t made a to-do list in quite some time. i like them�they get my tasks organized, and crossing off completed tasks is so damn satisfying. we�ll see how much i get done this weekend; i�m planning on being productive.

The surroundings of home, centers, neighborhood

with so many circumstances, with so many things.

And you have become all feeling, for me.

Constantine P. Cavafy (1929)
