Commute Trial and Brilliant Yoga Solution

My school is about 65 miles away from Kurt's boat via roads. If I was a crow it'd be kind just across the Pax River and then a quick skip across the Potomac. I am not a crow, nor am I a monarch butterfly. So Wednesday just after the last student walked out the door, I walked quickly to my car and took off. Traffic hadn't started building up until I was in the great state of Maryland. Long and short I was to the boat in 2 hours. Urgh. No energy left to grade the math tests, good to know. I actually never had any energy ever to grade math tests at home. But it was good to have dinner with Kurt. We agreed he'll have dinner on the table for me every night starting December 1! With the new appliances going in it shouldn't be trouble. And since it will be dark before I really even leave school the commute won't feel like I am wasting daylight hours. Keep on the sunny side!

Bedtime was early as the alarm goes off at 5:00. Since the electric sockets are all in the main cabin, there is no snoozing. How to get up and out early is going to take serious practice. But I was on the road by 5:30 and the Starbucks in Lusby opens at 5:00! So with my venti Americano and chocolate croissant (food really is love!) I was off in the dark with my new podcast - Tell the Bartender. My usual On Being podcast is far too peaceful to keep me moving.

My big trouble to ponder on this drive what how I am going to keep my body from falling apart with so much driving and early dark. I used to be a great yoga student and still have some muscle memory, so it's my go to when my body really hurts. But where, oh, where does one roll out a mat and move on a 34' sail boat? Ha! One waits till one gets to school and sneaks in some stretching in the back corner before anyone arrives. Brilliant! Maybe someone at school would want to join me if I let out the secret.

So the drive will be dreadful, but after I run through all the 5 seasons of Bartender, there are multiple seasons of The Actors' Grind! Next problem to solve is wardrobe. Professional clothes that don't need to be washed a lot (I not even going there - a laundromat...) and don't take up much room. At least we'll have good food.
