I sang well tonight. Gosh, was it nice to sing, easily and beautifully. And given that I've been sick (and I'm still coughing) I sang really well. If I do say so myself. We're home now and we're going to be having a very late dinner. Roast chicken and potatoes and carrots, and garlicky salad.

With the choir rehearsals over my schedule is freed up, but the next two weeks feel hectic: must remove mold, keep studying, prep for the hols and rels, and also attend the other parties on the list. It's really nice to be invited to parties and start getting to know people.

Last night, I went to yoga class for the first time in two months. I've been doing a gentle practice at home most mornings, but I finally felt recovered enough from Feb to go back to class, and also my teacher was back from a two week trip. Being pregnant I didn't want to go to a class with a sub, some one I didn't know.

But class last night was great. Mellow but challenging enough for my body, now 30lbs heavier! Downward facing dog still feels awesome, which is a relief. The really exciting news, and the reason I'm posting, is that I can still go upside down!! I was able to do two handstands! I needed help getting up, but once up I was stable and comfortable. We also did partner supported back bends (dhanurasana) and I could still do that, too! And they felt sooooo good. It was all the hip opening stuff that I had to sit out on. My hips are not happy. Time for the chiropractor.
