I have therapy and a dentist appointment tomorrow.  I probably should've scheduled them in the other order, but maybe my therapist can help calm me down before the dentist.  I still have kind of a cold, so that's going to make dental work loads of fun.  Oy.  I'm more than kind of dreading this.  But looking forward to having it over and done with anyway.

Tonight's basketball game was a huge bummer, but on the other hand, at least the UConn women won't be bringing home a trophy this year.  

My yoga instructor tonight was the woman who's always misusing the word "evolve," telling us to evolve our bodies when she means twist.  Today, she introduced two additional flubs of the English language.  English is her first language, by the way.  But she kept saying "breath" when she meant "breathe."  Once or twice you can let it go as a tongue stumble or something, but by the end of the class it was clear that the word "breathe" just isn't in her vocabulary.  The second new one was with regard to eye gaze.  You'll often hear in yoga class "eye gaze to the ceiling," or "eye gaze is soft," or something along those lines.  This instructor said at least three times "eye gaze stays closed."  If you don't understand why this bothers me, I don't think we can ever really be friends.  

 

That said, i do like this class and I even kind of like the instructor.  It's just hard to meditate through all those nails-on-the-chalkboard feelings I get when I'm told to evolve my shoulders back.

 

Oh she also told us to "intense the stretch!" today, but since she only did that once, I can't be sure if she really doesn't know the word "intensify" or if she just stumbled on the word this time.  These classes have become half exercise and half social experiment.
