I could use an extra day off couldn’t you? Saturday I had a bit of a headache and was just in a grumpy mood most of the morning. I attribute it to the heat. So, I felt like most of Saturday just flew by and I hadn’t accomplished anything.
Luckily after realizing that what I needed to do was just rest, which I did, I felt much better. We went out to a new restaurant with friends in the evening. Ate some good food, laughed a lot and no doubt the glass of wine I had helped too. hee.hee.
Today in my yoga class our teacher read us some poetry as we were doing Supta Baddha Konasana. The poem she read was Love After Love by Derek Wolcott and it made me appreciate there’s always at least one thing in a yoga session which will be just what I needed that day. A good way to seal the weekend.
Now I didn’t get a chance to do any blog visiting and I’m behind but I look forward to catching up this week. Also, I didn’t finish Manservant and Maidservant which we are discussing over on the Slaves but I will try to finish that in the next couple of days. And, as far as the Paris in July challenge goes, I did go see a wonderful Matisse exhibit but I didn’t finish Murder in the Marais, which was a mystery I had high hopes for but didn’t deliver. Thank you to Tamara and Karen for hosting!
I’m excited about the week ahead. I hope to reconnect with a good friend of mine who I haven’t seen in a while, I’m expecting a box from Amazon and the fridge is stocked with popsicles for the hot days ahead. Good times. I hope your week will also be filled with lots of those!
Getting together with old friends is what heals the soul, I believe. I also believe that this God-awful heat is enough to drive a sane person to homicidal tendencies. I can’t even stand to stick my nose outside for five minutes. Our power bill was $500 last month. Serenity now.
I could always use an extra weekend day off! Your week ahead sounds like it will be a good one!
It’s miserably hot and humid here, too. I think the heat index is 108. But I swore I wouldn’t complain because I did that all last winter and said I didn’t mind the heat. Hmmm. I’ve been cranky, too. Doesn’t help that I have a summer cold. Sheesh. I think I need a glass of wine with this whine. 😉
Hope you have a good week!
Have fun at dinner!
Keep cool! put your head in the freezer!
I definitely need an extra day off, so that I can catch up with all the things I need to do! 😛
The weather here has been unpredictable for the past few days… it could be sunny and then rainy the next. And when it rains it floods. I wonder what’s up with mother nature.
Hope you’ve a great week, Iliana!
Sandy – Totally agree with you! Our AC bill hasn’t been over the top (yet) but I think what we have saved on AC has gone towards ice cream and popsicles! haha… Hope you are settling in back at home.
Stefanie – Who invented the five day work week? Seriously, so wrong! 🙂
les in NE – Oh I hope you are feeling better! Being sick sucks and then with the heat, that is just misery. We are supposed to have a heat index of 109 tomorrow. Ugh. Stay cool!
Isabel – You’ve got the right idea girl 🙂 Let’s catch up over the phone later this week ok.
Melody – Sounds like you have a very busy week ahead. Hopefully while you are at your seminars you can still sneak in some fun reading 🙂 When it rains does it at least cool down a bit?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have three day weekends every weekend?
Danielle – I think next time we have a presidential election we should ask who’s going to give us this! 🙂
Sorry about your headache. I know how the heat makes me sooooooo crabby. My ex hubby is still very close to me and he always laughs. He is from South Carolina where humidity and high heat come naturally and with a vengence. He thrives on this weather. I just roll my eyes and head for anyplace cool. I have to catch up on my blog reading also.
What a great poem! So perfect for a yoga class. Thanks for sharing it, Iliana. I just finished a book about Krishnamacharya and am still, still, still reading Teaching Yoga by Mark Stephens–very good.
I could use an extra day on the weekend or about twice as many hours in a day. I’m so far behind with everything!
