So my phone's alarm didn't go off today. I don't mean I slept through it - that is frankly impossible. (My lovely sleep disorder manifests itself by making it impossible for me to sleep through anything, including a cat snore. The only ways to get me to soundly sleep are either to drug me, or to get me super drunk and put me to bed.) And it didn't come on and then get shut off, because it leaves a pop-up window behind when it does that. The alarm just didn't go. It was very strange. I woke up at 6:00 (to a "cat alarm" of Marzy frantically pawing at some portion of my body for pettings), checked the phone, rolled over, and dozed... and then leapt out of bed at 6:50 (this is 20 min later than I usually get up when I've night-showered) and scrambled to get everything together. A very distracting morning.

Although this is one of the times it's nice to be salary, not hourly. It's hard to get time off when you're salary because all you have is the vacation time the company gives you... but if you end up being 15 minutes late some morning because your phone caught the dumb, no one minds.

To make matters worse the pressure from the sinus infection has returned behind my forehead and eyebrows. Ah, sinusitis, I thought I had quit you. It feels like a chorus of tiny baby aliens are trying to press themselves out of my skull. I've dosed them with Sudafed; hopefully they will get distracted trying to make baby alien meth and leave my poor headache alone. :( My eyebrows actually hurt to touch. D:

Made it to yoga last night, which was good. I don't know whether I'm in better yoga-shape (impossible?) or if I'm just more dedicated this year, but I've really been progressing. I did Forearm Stand (Feathered Peacock Pose) last night both on and off the wall, as well as a fairly balanced Half Moon Pose (LOOK I FIND HALF MOON REALLY HARD :/ ). It was nice, and I am happily sore and stretched today. I think a lot of it is not being - afraid? - to try the advanced poses. Not that I ever was, but now I know what it's like to do inversions.

And I really need to get more icons in this Dreamwidth. FFFFFF.

Hey look! A Final Fantasy Friending Meme.

I want to do more inversions -- all I can really do as it stands is a shoulderstand (both supported and unsupported).

Half moon post IS hard.

I'm so happy that you're able to go to Yoga and do stuff for yourself. You earned it.

Man, I miss doing yoga-- I really wish I'd kept up with it after I took it in school. I need to look up youtube videos for sun salutations and work from there. I complained like mad when we had to do 30 of them in a row, but I WAS SO BENDY.

/jelly forever of you being able to do the inversions.

Yoga Journal actually just ran a 21-day challenge that was pretty awesome. I (as expected) didn't keep up with all 21 days, but they email videos and walkthroughs to you every day and you can do them at your leisure. XD

"or to get me super drunk and put me to bed."

Best medicine or bestest medicine?

First time I've heard of eyebrows hurting. Also first time I've seen you use D: .

Oh dear...we're entering sinus season. Not my favorite time of the year. Time to load up on Sudafed :/

I know people swear by Neti Pots but I managed to give myself an ear infection once that way. Siiiigh.
