is today a...what day is it?? (big lebowski)

today is a wednesday (i think) but i woke up early to turn my alarm off so i could skip chi gong and t'ai chi classes this morning and slept in till 8. i proceeded to knife around (spaceghost quote) for a few hours with my girlfriends, just relaxing, reading, cleaning, making breakfast, making lunch...it was great and much needed.

in 2 days i might be going into a vipassana meditation, which is a solid 10 day course that somehow lasts for 12 days. i'm on the waiting list so if i get in, i'll be incommunicado for a while.

there are so many things to do here in mccleod ganj that i can't make up my mind when to go to thailand: the dalai lama will be giving public teachings on june 24; his birthday is on july 6, and i'm thinking of sticking around until that point. there are also a few really good yoga classes here, as well as an ayurvedic medicine and massage course. ALSO we've been having dinner parties back at the homestead and they're just so much fun! especially b/c one of our friends is a chef...hmmm, it's gonna be hard to leave this place!

just wanted to check in in case i do get into this meditation course - wish me luck, i reckon it's gonna be a doozie!

much love and namaste,
