This morning I was doing Karma Yoga. I was flying: vacuuming, cleaning boot trays, recycling, cleaning Kali's Cafe, squeaking, mopping. And when I went to Kali's Cafe (it's a short walk from the main building), I just wore my hoodie because I was warm and it seemed nice enough out.
I gathered the dirty dishes and empty milk jars from the cafe and headed outside. To snow! What?!? Big wet flakes. Suffice it to say I wore my jacket for the rest of my outdoor treks.
I woke up this morning really tired and was going to blog about that, but right now I feel great. I know I'll be exhausted again tonight (and tomorrow morning), but right now I have energy. I'm not sure if I'm tired because of the busy schedule here (i.e. no real down time), because my body is lacking protein (beans, yuck) or if it's because my ego is trying to distract me (a frequent reason I end up tired).
Food update? Last night was tempeh barley casserole. Pass! But luckily it was served with roasted veggies and braised cabbage and I love both of those. Today's big lunch winner was some kamut yam crackers. They could market those ones, just the right combination of sweet and savory.
Now I'm going to find a book in the library before I go to my afternoon work. Not sure when I'll get to read it, but that's okay.
so how does it actually work being there? I follow your blog and I find your post inspiring.
ReplyDeleteAlso, are you enjoying your stay or at times do you find it rather isolating?
I miss you tons at work. But am enjoying your blogs very much (especially the "Angel of Death"). Ants or mouse poo not sure which I prefer.
ReplyDeletehey tempeh barley cassarole should be good (technically, tempeh is gross, but I've tried many many times). You really should try it... have you ever had tempeh? I wish I could try all that great food...and fyi, you can't exist for a month without protein - EAT your beans! :)
