    I am missing Mike. It’s depleting my energy. I did Bikram and low gear. I told Heather about a dramatic change I am experiencing due to the Alexander exercise she suggested. For the first time in my adult life, the strap of my dress didn’t fall off my left shoulder. I haven’t even been able to keep bra straps from slipping off my shoulder. It drives me nuts.
    I stopped over at the T-Mobile store to get my new phone set up. I asked if they had the iPhone 7 in a color other than black, but that is the only color they have left. The process took forever. I actually went over to Target in the meantime to buy swim shoes and Hersey’s Milk Chocolate bars with whole almonds. Despite the store having other customers, Keith got right back to me when I returned. 
    I’ve been saving Mike’s old phone. This is another piece of giving him up. He’s not going to need his phone, and neither will I. 
    I stopped off at Costco on the way home for salad and lemons. When I got home, I read some more of Mike’s book and napped.
     In the evening, I went to a Pins and Poses pop up class at the Bikram studio. The first half of the class is restorative yoga, and during the second half, an acupuncturist comes around and sticks pins in your hand, and it the top of the head.  I experienced my body in totally different ways during the first half. I learned a new appreciation for my physical limitations. The question is, how much is due to my left hip and how much is due to other problems in my body.  When doing a leg stretch with a strap, I had more problems with my right leg than my left. 
    Yvette led the poses section of the workshop. She is a fantastic teacher. She has a wonderful voice, calm and strong. She gives crystal clear directions and assures everyone that she will help if there is any confusion.  She had the consideration to set me up right next to her in case I needed help getting into or out of a position.  I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
     Feel like I don’t want to write, but then love it when I do. Go figure. I am feeling more tired than usual. I don’t want to get up in the morning even though I know that I can nap when I get home. I love napping in general, and I like sleeping on the sofa more than I like sleeping in my bed.  The sofa is set up as an anti-gravity chair. 
    I think I may have found a possible explanation for why the hybrid battery didn’t fully charge the other day, a possible explanation.  I feel the serviceman, while honest, doesn’t know a lot about the electric cars.  He knows more than I do, but I may be able to figure out other causes in case he gets stuck.

             I slept well and was up before the alarm went off.  In June, it was light at 5:30, but now, it is not so much.  Being close to ...
