Learning Things I Don't Want To Know in Everyday Ramblings

Our Japanese Garden in November. I took this nine years ago. Wow.

My Periodontist neglected to tell me that the stitches he used a few weeks ago were resolvable so I have had this background worry over the last week or so that something that was going on might delay my progress on this path to healing in my mouth.

This is one of the pitfalls of getting treatment by a highly respected and in demand professor. When he is busy he assumes you have a base level of knowledge about what he is doing, when you would actually rather not know. Like the fact that he did a tissue displacement and not a graft.

Of course! I knew that.
Not.

Anyway I am all cleared and won’t have any more procedures until the end of January (I get my crown placement in two weeks but that won’t hurt) and other than taking good care of everything I have no eating restrictions until then.

English muffins…I barely knew ya. Annual big Christmas Eve Eve dinner blow out meal, bring it on.

I weighed in right at goal weight this morning so I do need to show some self-restraint. I can eat a much wider variety of foods than I have been able to for the last 11 months but not more.

Also when do I do my big three day anatomy seminar in three weeks I’ll lose weight. We’ll be doing yoga throughout.

I have made the decision to move my classes to the studio in January and add a class if it is a match. I’ll meet the owner next week or the week after.

All this time I have been thinking it is either or. Either I teach at the studio or at the church.

I realized in this propaganda meeting on Thursday night about the new direction the church is taking (I now know more about the basics of how popular thriving churches are managed than I ever wanted to know) that I have been trying to fit the proverbial round peg in a place it doesn’t belong.

The whole meaning of ease and suffering in yoga (and Buddhism) are based on how well a wheel rolls; if there is a smooth ride or a bumpy one.

So I will develop an eight-week program that I can teach in the adult education cycle (for as long as they will have me) and then use it as a feeder for my studio classes I’ll be giving on a donation basis two blocks away.

Believing in myself as a teacher is a huge component factor here. Eek.

I will still need to do all the setup for this and marketing because even in that short move I will lose most of my students. My retired minister student (who is very influential at the church) says she will come with me so that is a big win.

Because I did it before I know I can teach four classes a week and if I actually make a little money doing this I can stop working overtime!

Speaking of that I need to work tomorrow. We are doing our big annual computer upgrade. At least I can work from home.

It is supposed to basically rain forever now. At least it seems like that. I am charging all the cats to keep my spirits up for the duration.
