Fragile

Feeling a bit fragile today.

Not only are my shoulders hurting – which I was expecting – but also my hamstrings and calves are killing me which was a surprise. I guess it never occurred to me how much of a hamstring and calf stretch down-dog is, and I most definitely didn’t overdo it. I mean, yes I can feel the stretch but I can’t remember ever getting sore from just that.

Other reason for fragility is the fact that I’m nursing a small hangover today. Shannon invited us to her place last night to celebrate the studio’s second birthday and we accepted – even though it was Dragon’s first couple of free hours off work in couple of weeks. Had a really nice time with fellow yogis, and talked about other things than yoga too, to the benefit of couple of non-yogis. And I had two glasses of white wine, hence the hangover today.

What comes to hangovers – my hangovers – this one is not too bad, but it just once again reminded me why I don’t drink. Then after being at work for about an hour, the fire alarm went off. We looked at each other – “There’s no drill today, right?” – and went outside. The noise was really loud, but sun was shining so we spent about 20 minutes sitting outside chatting before the fire marshal okayed us to go back in. Fast forward couple of hours and the alarm goes off again, this time to “Oh not again” and this time we decided to go and have some lunch.

I decided to pamper myself and bought myself a piece of delicious chocolate cake which I was able to eat half before starting to feel funny again. I really, really, should never drink again.
