i had a partial entry written yesterday, and lost it with an unexpected reboot.
yesterday morning, i had a hard time concentrating on work - my focus was totally on the fun plans in the future.

last night, sol3 and i finally made it back to yoga.
it was good to be back there. the class seemed a bit easier then normal, which was probably good for me.
the difference between yoga and bellydancing this week has been that during yoga, i feel comfortable and relaxed during class and anxious afterwards, while with bellydancing, i was anxious during class and felt comfortable and relaxed afterwards.
i hit on a workaround to a weird yulia-ism - when i'm anxious, taking deep breaths makes me more anxious, not less. so, now i have a little workaround that takes a bit of quasi-meditation, and probably a bit more time then is useful in everyday life, but will hopefully help with the post-yoga anxiety.

after yoga, we started watching the first season of the sopranos and talked about an issue i've been having. sadly, there are no easy answers (that we've found yet) and in some ways, having opened the can of worms without also getting solutions is making the issue more there for me today.
