THE RUSH
Saturday evening, I was finishing addressing Christmas cards while we watched Bullet Train, when Michael said “why haven’t we received any Christmas cards?!?” I paused to look at him and then responded with “Slow your roll. It’s only the third day of December.” Though, I do have to fess up and admit to feeling a little anxious about how time is flying by and it does sort of feel like Christmas is tomorrow. With the exception of some stocking stuffers, I am done with all of my Christmas present shopping responsibilities. There’s really nothing left for me to do but sit back and celebrate.
Except that’s not how my brain works.
Instead of just soaking in the joys of the holiday season, I’m already planning ahead for 2023. In fact, I feel as if I have already projected myself into the future. Kelly approached me last week to discuss co-teaching a yoga workshop in January. She asked me if I was qualified to teach continuing education hours and I had to go the Yoga Alliance website to figure it out. Turns out I have been doing this yoga thing long enough that I can now teach continuing education hours. I am a little bit floored by this and I am suddenly very aware of how my whole yoga teacher side gig may morph into some thing bigger in the next year or so. Since moving to Kansas City, I’ve had a fairly laisseze faire attitude towards teaching. I have been hesitant to accept teaching opportunities and strict with my imposed rule of teaching no more than two classes a week. I am committed to maintaining some teaching boundaries, but at the same time I might be ready to stretch out my boundaries.
Currently, the wheels in my head are turning around how I am going to fit the anatomy of the shoulder and hips, all the yoga strap modifications to support those joints and an hour of asana with a yoga strap into a three hour workshop. Then those wheels set in motion other wheels in my head on my future creative endeavors. I want to pursue some creative stuff, but I also don’t want to burn candles at both ends. How much do I really need to fill up each day and still leave room for rest. Because rest is the thing I really should be focusing on in this present moment. I am still sick. I have woken up three mornings in a row with a sore throat/ear situation and it is not from sleeping with my mouth open. I have the chew mark lines on the inside of my cheeks to prove it. It’s fine as long as I can peel myself out of bed. Once I’ve showered, used my Neti pot, and downed a shot of DayQuil, I’m good to go. I can get through the day with lots of lemon, honey and mint tea. Until sometime around 3:30. That’s usually when you’ll find me curled up under my desk at work.
But it’s fine.
Really.
I have yet to get around to erasing November from our dry-erase calendar and filling in all the things for December. I plan on sitting down this evening and doing this activity. I kind of have a feeling that just the action of acknowledging that the month of December is happening will anchor me more into the here and now. December is not a leap month. It is a month that deserves to be savored as we celebrate all the good things the year has brought us and reflecting on the not so good things. It is a month for soaking in as much light and warmth as we can in order to sustain us through the next few months of darkness and cold. It is a month for me to throw a stick into those turning wheels in my brain. My focus for this week is to do the bare minimum.
I might be able to manage that.

Busy life and some frustrations
I have been very busy lately. I started a new job, so I now have 2 of them. I like the new one as well as the one I already had. Job 2 is at a hotel near my home at the front desk. I was like born to do this job, I love it! It also pays $2.70/hr more than job 1 so that's a plus. The only bummer is the number of Uber/Lyfts I take between jobs and home. I truly need to get my license because depending on rideshare companies to get around sucks and its getting to be ridiculous, I can spend more than a tank of gas on Ubers in one day trying to get between my jobs and home, the doctor and home, etc.
I am planning on saving up enough to get driving lessons for a good while so I can get my license finally. I want to save enough to purchase the lesson pack with like 10 lessons in it or whatever one is the biggest amount of lessons I can get. Last time I did them I had the 5 lesson pack for like $210. It feels good to be able to have enough money now to do things like that. I was struggling so hard and then this hotel job fell right into my lap. It was a blessing from heaven and I needed it so very much.
I have been frustrated though that I have to work my butt off at TWO jobs just to be able to have enough to live. I mean since the hotel pays so much better than the condos, my second job, I could potentially just go full time at the hotel if I needed to, or I could work more hours at the hotel and less at the condos if necessary. The frustration is that I should make enough at the condos that 2 jobs aren't even necessary but the wage is so low that its not enough.
Another thing I have been frustrated with is people. Some people just drive like they own the whole road, they don't care if they hit you or run you over while you're walking or anything else, they drive like they've got no sense in their head. I'm also frustrated with a lot of Uber/Lyft drivers that speed while driving you to your destination and those that are impatient and can't even wait 2 minutes for you to get down the stairs from your place to outside at their car.
