forgetful when hungry.

now, must walk a mile and a quarter back where I came from so I can get the stuff I forgot 'cuz if I leave it there it'll be gone by the next time. And then a mile and a quarter home again. Instead of making late lunch.

damn. can finish bagel and eat luna bar, but that's not very satisfying. At least this time can bring bottle of water so can finish bagel faster than started.

feh. where brain?

This morning I shot out of bed, looked at the clock, panicked, dashed off to have coffee, looked at the clock in the coffee shop, hurried to the locker room of my gym, locked my stuff in my locker, looked at the clock and hurried to yoga class, and found...an empty classroom.

Walked slowly back out of classroom, looked at the clock in the weight room, discovered yoga class wasn't for a whole 'nother hour yet.

Went back to the cafe, had a cinnamon roll and another cuppa coffee, read for awhile, went back to the gym, and showed up to yoga class three minutes late.

have no brain can't tell time.

got out of yoga class, stopped by the store to replace some of the crap I needed to replace from yesterday, nearly walked out without my change.

Brains obviously still not present. All the zombies in my life must remain hungry.

On the upside: When all I have to work with is my lizard-brain, the balance poses in yoga class are much easier. Less tipping over, this time.

For about a year, one of my housemates and I were getting up to do yoga in our (dark, quiet) living room before heading out for the day.

At 5:30am.

It's amazing how wonderful it is to do yoga while you're still asleep. Your body doesn't have to deal with your brain complaining that you can't do that, so you tend to find yourself in the most amazing positions and wondering--2 minutes later--how the heck you got there.

Need to start doing that again ...

For me, it's really only the balance poses that are aided by my conscious mind being absent. The first time a yoga teacher said to close my eyes and really *feel* how my body was keeping itself upright, I nearly tipped over. :) The rest of the stuff I really do best after a walk and a coffee but before breakfast, so my mind is alert, my blood is moving, my body is warm, and I'm at my least sluggish.

For now, it's my hindbrain that knows how to keep my balance when I'm standing up, and my conscious brain that understands stretch and strength. If I let my unconscious drive the rest of the poses, I slump and and droop and let myself get all lopsided. My unconscious is lazy. :)

I suppose I should clarify that when this happened:

...I was standing with both feet on the floor. :)

I've done similar things myself. What really gets me, though, is when I'm trying to do something like "tree" pose, and someone comes and stands directly in front of me. That invariably knocks me right over!
