Today started off so well. It really did. But it got rather unpleasant by the end of the day. Here's why: I went to a gym yoga class, because it was free, and it was pretty awful. Terrible sequencing, way too many beginners, bad instructional cues, no anatomical sense in the sequencing, etc. Example: started in child pose, then down dog, vinyasa, and crow? All within the first 4 minutes of class? I almost started laughing, because it was fucking ridiculous. It was also a lot of people who had no idea what they were doing, and I was in pain watching their form, since many of them were ignorantly cruising for a bruising. So that was pretty upsetting. It sort of did the trick for what I was going for-I just didn't do the stupid things, and didn't do too many vinyasas, but it was also upsetting. The other thing I found out today was that my friend, who was watching my car, (but hopefully not driving it much?) took a friend to the emergency room, and then got sideswiped in the parking lot. (But of course, not while he was in the car, so now there's a huge scrape on my bumper, no police report, which means I can't easily claim it, and I'm not even in the country.) That's been majorly stressing me out, since I hadn't wanted him to be driving my car much anyways, and for this to have happened so soon after I left is really upsetting. I know it's not his fault, and I shouldn't be mad at him, but I had given him the key to my car in the hopes that he would move it every now and again, not get it hurt. Now, a trip to the emergency room is totally justified, but what kind of major bad luck is that? It's pretty ridiculous. I'm not sure what to do about it, and I hope he's willing to pay for some of the damage. Without a police report and more extensive documentation (like proof that the other car hit me) I can't get reimbursed, which he of course didn't realize. It's just stressful to not be able to do anything about it, and to not be able to do anything about for a month and a half at least. The damage isn't structural, so the car is still safe to drive, but it looks really bad, and that's upsetting to me. Either way, I don't know what to do, and I've been emailing people for advice, since my parents would flip if they found out. I need to fix it before they visit me again, and that's that.
On a more positive side, I'm playing Theofanidis in a recital on Friday, and I'm excited about that. I also climbed a mountain, and had a ground squirrel eat from my lap, and sit on my knee. So cute, it was disgusting. My friend took some good pix, so hopefully those will follow!
