So the yoga class was... interesting. The teacher and the other students were very welcoming and friendly, and the individual exercises not too intimidating, I think. I did have some problems -- my feet and back are both very weak, even compared to the rest of me. My feet were killing me during some of the standing exercises, and my back had trouble with sitting on the floor without support. But I actually kind of think that keeping it up would make them stronger, rather than worse. It's hard to tell on just one class, so I'll probably go back for at least one or two more.

And all the work that we did on our hands and knees or hands and feet was kind of torturous for me -- I'm pretty heavy, and it's a lot of weight to rest on my hands and wrists. When I mentioned it to the instructor after class, she suggested going down to my forearms and elbows for those positions next time. I'll see how it goes.

So anyway, yeah, I'll go back next week. I don't think I'm ready to make it twice a week, yet.

I'm beat today. I had some pretty bad dreams last night.

The first was that Penny was in the hospital with pneumonia, bad enough that her life was in question. But I couldn't sit with her, because I had to stop Matt from killing the person responsible for her catching it. (Just before I woke up, at least, I was hearing an optimistic prognosis.)

The second was that my office was suddenly in this tall, glass-walled tower, and there was a bad storm coming. Constant red lightning and hailstones big enough I could see them falling miles away. I ran around to warn everyone, but no one seemed concerned. When it hit, the building shifted and twisted; I was falling down the hallways and screaming. No one else seemed to be affected, though a few people tried to catch me or put up cushions for me.

I... guess they're pregnancy anxiety dreams? It's hard to tell. Even with the most benign interpretation I can come up with, though, I still didn't get a lot of rest. I'd be tempted to go home early and take a nap, except that I need to be saving up my leave for bigger things.
