First, thank you to everyone who sent me such nice e-mails in response to my last post. I'm happy to hear that I still have friends. Also, I didn't think that anyone was reading my blog, so that was pretty cool. And Donna is putting on her superwoman cape and driving all the way from Dallas in her fancy hybrid to cheer me up. My heroine! (BTW, this probably means I'm putting off Ashtanga until Wednesday. I mean, come on, the woman is driving all the way from Dallas to hang out.)
I just sent this in an e-mail to Ravyn and didn't feel like typing it again:
I told my parents how depressed I am/have been so they've been trying to keep me busy today. My dad is a fervent believer in the idea that all mental problems can be solved through physical exertion. So, first thing this morning we headed off to the hike and bike trail with Sweet Pea in the stroller. After that we had breakfast at El Sol y La Luna then went shopping at Whole Foods. Came home, collapsed and slept for a couple of hours. Woke up, had a late lunch then Dad coached me through a 30 minute power walk on the trail in the greenbelt. You should have seen us. He looked like he was talking a leisurely stroll and here I come behind sweating, struggling and gasping for breath. He's always been the athletic one in the family. He says the power walk is going to happen every day. I can't knock it though. It did make me feel better.

Awww, honey! I didn't know you were having these blues. I'm glad your dad is on top of it. I'm having late-pregnancy blues, if that makes you feel any better. And I worry about all of those same things. A (single) friend of mine just started up a new business that I very much wanted to be a part of, that we'd been dreaming about for months and months, that I was considering investing in, and she *wanted* me to be part of...but now, I just don't have the energy, and I know I'll want to focus on the bebe when he gets here.
Sigh.
Not to mention all of the yoga workshops and trainings I'm missing this year, including a trip to Utah I had planned since last year.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
All of this stuff can wait. The universe is a bountiful place, and there's so much more where all of this other goodness came from.
We cool yoga moms will just have to band together and be badass and yogic and mamas all in one!
Your dad was the only person I knew who could cure pneumonia by running five miles. Glad to hear he's still at it!
Is he ever. He ran a half marathon last spring and has plans to run it again. He was fastest in his age category. I wish I had inherited whatever it is that motivates him to do such a thing.
