I am thankful for my roommate and my God moment that I had on the way home from yoga this evening. I had enough change to either 1) wash and dry one load of laundry, or 2) wash two loads, meaning I'd have to hang everything. I wanted to wash my Bikram clothes and towels, hang the clothes, and dry the towels.

As I was walking in front of an apartment complex, I looked at the sidewalk, and lo and behold, there was a dollar bill folded into four. If I had a spring in my step before that, I was positively insistent on reaching home in a timely manner to catch dinnertime as well as to put away the dollar and get back to work.

Earlier this afternoon, our beloved accompanist/coach dropped by the dorm to give me the Nico Castel translations for the scenes we're doing in Opera Workshop, and we were both glad to see each other. Although I didn't tell her, I was taken aback by how striking she looked, as usual, even in casual attire, in this case a gauzy white button-down shirt and shorts. She looked so effortlessly put together like an actress from the first half of the twentieth century. I felt like I was a little girl again admiring an actress or ballerina.

Day 15 of the Bikram yoga challenge, e.g., one-fourth of the way. It was different practicing without a hand towel, so that meant I perhaps wiped off my face less (I still did it between Savasana and sit-up, but using my big towel, of course), but I liked where I was situated in the room, in the second row. The teacher was the statuesque honey blonde with a calming voice who I think is my favorite out of all the Bikram teachers at the studio, and I was flattered when she told me after the first Bow Pose, "That was beautiful."

Augh. This weekend was full of opportunities to partake of baked goods :p But then again, I don't eat birthday cake or doughnuts every day, I eat fruit at every meal and exercise daily, and I don't eat fast food, so I suppose everything in moderation is okay.

Waiting for my laundry... I should do my Christ and the Moral Life readings rather than just sit. Toodles.
