I started going to Bikram (hot) yoga, because there is a studio (literally) just 1 minute away from the apartment. I just finished my 3rd class. I'm on a 10 day pass, so I'm going to try to hit 8 or 9 classes to try it out.
I've been pretty skeptical about the hot yoga thing for a while, but I'm going to give it the old college try and see what I think of it after these 10 days are up. The first day, I almost passed out from the heat, but now I know which classes are less full (less body heat!) and I always plan on going to the classes in the nice NEW studio, not the nasty old one that smells like a gym.....that seems to help, too. So far, my skin seems to be a little bit more glow-y, but I am trying to figure out how to manage the fact that all clothes and towels get soaked. I will either have to purchase more work-out clothes or start doing laundry EVERY day....and I think buying more work-out clothes will probably be cheaper in the long run.
I'm also really kind of sucked into the show "the Tudors" and reading short stories by Alice Munro on the rainy days. I am still missing my driver's license, so I haven't gotten to drive to the countryside to get wool. I am not very into the things I have been making with fabric. Wool is really where it is at, so in order to avoid stir-craze, I am giving up and ordering some online tomorrow. That I haven't gotten to make anything with Australian wool yet feels like a bit of wasting time....but on the other hand, I have not had so many days in a row of full-night's sleep in ages....so at least there is that positive.
