I decided that instead of sitting and watching yoga while recording it to DVD, I actually wanted to DO some yoga today. First, I wanted to force myself to do the dishes, so I promised myself that as soon as the sinks were empty, I would reward myself by hopping into my yoga clothes, popping in my DVD, and spending 30 minutes torturing my muscles.

I got the dishes done, put on my yoga clothes, and went to the living room. First I had to pick up all the cat toys strewn all over the rug. While doing so, I noticed the rug needed to be vacuumed, so I did that. Then I saw the floor needed to be swept, so I did that. Then, the floor looked so nice, I had to clear some clutter off of various flat surfaces and do some dusting. After all of that, the living room looked good, but I was too hot, sweaty and tired to do any yoga!

So now I am sitting around in my yoga clothes waiting for my light lunch to digest a bit, drinking an energy drink, and hoping this will give me enough energy to enjoy my yoga reward. There’s a new warm-up routine on one of the shows I recorded recently, and I’m eager to try it out. It looks so wonderful and stretchy in all the right places.

But even if I don’t get motivated to exercise, at least I got a bunch of much-needed housework done … and I remembered to take the trash out to the curb last night, so the trash crisis at Casa de Orb is over, for now.
