All that business about sleep disturbances with intermediate practice? Not so much. I’m sleeping like a log these days. The kind of sleep where you wake up and wonder where you are. Dead to the world sleep. Very nice.

Waylon at obedience class last night. He loves the lady dogs. LL Cool Way. We had to work in pairs and he kept trying to have sexy time (said with a Borat accent) with the girl dogs. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to apologize to the other owners after my dog molests their dog.

We stood in a circle as the teacher explained something. We were inside a meeting room in the local animal hospital, which has a slick polished concrete floor. All the puppies sit or kind of move about a little on their leashes. Waylon, though, lies down on his belly. And after a couple of minutes, he stretches his front legs out, and then he frogs his back legs out, and then, when he thinks I’m not gonna notice, he tries to army crawl toward the other dogs. Had the other owners laughing uproariously.

And then he topped his own silly antics. He was lying on his side with tongue flopped on floor. Got restless so started pushing with his back feet. Since his back was arched, he ended up lying on his side, turning in a circle, leaving a long spit trail with his tongue.

Mayurasana is cracking me up and getting all of my challenge energy going. I look forward to it like it’s a new climbing route I’m trying to get. The thing is, I only get a couple of tries — then I burn out and all effort is for naught. Nakrasana is coming along, I guess. It’s absurd. And I have to go watch RF’s supta urdhva pada vajrasana. I SO don’t get that whole thing.

No headstand crashes, though I felt mighty shaky on muka hasta sirsasana C (the one I crashed out of). I actually love the little bringing-the-hands-back-to-tripod-then-timbering-down thing. It is a nice combination of control and falling.

MM was in a cheery mood this morning, so we all had some laughs at the very end of practice. Yup, I was there from beginning to end (6-8 AM), slowly slogging through all of second. It was lovely.
