Not my division

I can't figure out how to embed this video from the source, so just go here if you want to see a spot-on satire about marketing and women.

My left hip is bothering me a lot. It feels hot all the time, a constant, burning ache, and the only time it doesn't hurt is during my walk-abouts and about five minutes after. I'm worried that the hip-opening yoga sequences are doing more harm than good. I'm going to keep doing them for another week, to see if the squats I'm doing every hour help loosen things up in there.

Because a few members of the admissions committee aren't available to meet next week, it turns out I do get to take a long weekend for my birthday! Hurray! This is especially good news since I'm over hours on vacation. To give an idea of exactly how far I'm over in vacation hours, if I don't take any time off before the end of the fiscal year in June, I'll lose more than seventy hours of accrued vacation time. Yeah, time to take some days off.

Tonight after acupuncture I'm going to a restorative yoga class at Westside Yoga, taught by Yeshe, the woman doing the Friday intro to bellydance class. I'm looking forward to it! If I love it, I'm signing up for their monthly unlimited yoga program. I could attend all three restorative yoga classes every week (two of which are led by Yeshe) for fifty bucks a month.

The past few grapefruits I've had have been really uninspiring. I suspect the nasty weather is affecting the citrus crops. Since grapefruit and apples are the only fruit I'm eating right now (sauteed apples mmmmmmm), it's not looking like it's going to be too difficult to give up fruit. Small blessings.

Lastly, for any BBC Sherlock watchers (and especially Lestrade fans) who aren't on my Tumblr, check out my Tumblr post today. Now that I think of it, though, I think all my Sherlock fangirls follow me on Tumblr, so maybe this inclusion is pointless. Better safe than sorry, though. Mmmmmm, Greg Lestrade.

Being a fan is way too much work for me. I am quite lazy. But, I have always thought Lestrade was quite tasty. Thank you for sharing.

You're welcome!

Yo, have you heard of this crowdsourced project: American Gut (http://www.indiegogo.com/americangut). I thought it might be something you would like to participate in!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

YAY for a three-day birthday!
And that time accrual o_O
I'm hoping for my next job to have good time-off or great flex-time. J gets a lot at LMH.

Sorry about the hip.. is this the same sort of pain you got when you were doing burpees?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I accrue a lot of vacation when I don't take time off. =/ There's just not a lot of point in taking time off when my good-times-to-take-vacation don't mesh with mckitterick's.

I think I'm going to take some time this summer for a road trip in the Chevelle, though. Maybe during the Campbell Conference since I'm not running it anymore!

And yes, this is the same pain that was caused from the burpees/incorrect squat posture.

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

I feel you on the "why take time off?" thing. I have a ton accrued but no one to visit. It seems that I have vacation time or money, but rarely both. :/

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

It's why my vacations for the past, um...five years (!) have all been stay-cations.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

I tell you what, I am ENJOYING my unexpected but thankfully extended time off at home, alone for hours.

Ugh, same pain. Are you possibly overdoing it in your enthusiasm?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. I'm pretty good about not overdoing anything these days. Learned my lesson.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Well pooh.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's from just being l-a-z-y and not doing any lower body resistance training or mobility work for about a month.

I really needed me some Lestrade today. Of all the Sherlockiverse dudefellas, he's my favorite. I am faithful to a certain type, after all. :)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yay! Good to know I posted this here for a reason.

XOXO

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

The ones I'll be attending are all Restorative Yoga, so maybe not quite what you're looking for. But I'll certainly report in tomorrow on what I thought of tonight's class.

I do not Tumble, and I am a total Gravesdigger, so I thank you for this post!

And those gifs. Unf, you foxy silver fox, you.

(The guns in Sherlock kinda weird me out, especially Lestrade's. I want to know where in the hell he GOT it from! And how he gets away with being a copper with a handgun, wtf. I assume Mycroft's pulled a lot of strings so that his little brother has a protector on the inside, or something?)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ah ha ha ha ha GRAVESDIGGER. God, I love that. He is mighty fine.

Being American (and a gun-owner) I hadn't even considered the fact that he wouldn't have a gun. Huh.

[sherwood21.livejournal.com]

<3 Lestrade. So much. I do follow you on Tumblr, but I never remember to go there unless you post something here, so thanks for that!

I hope your hip feels better soon.
