Good morning, deltoids

[clevermanka]

Yesterday's calisthenics were apparently productive. My shoulders and triceps are making their presences known. My hips are sore, but I can't tell if it's deep soft tissue or joint ache. I rolled out my glutes, quads, and IT bands for about twenty minutes last night after dinner and man it was rough. My arms were so tired from the morning's exertions that eventually I just had to let myself collapse on the therapy ball and lie there until the knot dissipated.

I woke at 5:45 this morning, but couldn't bear to get out of bed. Today is Restorative Yoga day and I knew my room downstairs would be too cold for me to relax into any of the poses so I lay there for an hour and fifteen minutes, reveling in the warm softness of my beautiful bed. DELIGHTFUL. Tonight I'll set up the space heater in my downstairs room and after dinner I'll crank the heat in the house and settle in for a nice, long restorative session before bed. ALSO DELIGHTFUL.

This cold snap is becoming wearisome. I cannot drink enough warm beverages. It's supposed to get up to 32 today. We'll see. I'll be making myself some chicken soup for dinner. mckitterick is not a huge fan of sloshy soups (they need to be more stew-like), but he is most likely going out for dinner this evening so I'm looking forward to making a nice, basic soup with lots of onions. LOTS. Man. Now I'm really looking forward to dinner and not just because dinner means I won't be at my desk anymore.

Winter on whole is tiresome. I figured out yesterday that my binge eating is probably a comfort/get away from the cold thing. I don't even drink warm stuff--just hold them.

My grandpa used to drink warm jello. I liked that.

Yeah. We're mammals. We do that.

Did you know that it's warmer in Calgary, Alberta (Canada) today than here?

GEEEZUS.

From my yoga instructor...

We have a quorum for Yoga at the Park tonight at 530 PM.

We will be meeting at our usual place at the circle at Railroad park at Peach and Alluvial. Dress in layers to keep warm. We will be doing a lot of standing poses to keep us moving and warm.

If anyone happens to be in the area?

I'm thinking it'll cause confusion if I bring five candles, but the moon is already waning...

Outside yoga always sounds like a good idea and then I think about chiggers and mosquitoes.

Those are pretty much dead right now. We're not as cold as your area, but we've frozen up a couple of times (car windows, not bodies of water; this is Queen Califa's Land).

Thank you for the link to that yoga sequence; goal is to try it before dinner, sounds like exactly what my muscles are whining for right now.

Yay for movement, warm beds and restorative yoga.

This cold snap sucks bloated sheep carcasses. That's how much I'm hating it. I haven't really fallen ill, but I'm headachey, sore and just want to curl up in a ball in my bed.. all day.

I'm roasting a cauli and baking teriyaki pork chops so that the oven will add to home heat.
