A three minute post

I have three minutes until I must start getting ready for work or I will not be ready to leave in time to deal with the ridiculous commute.

It's been rainy here for the past few days. Yesterday during the drive home, we had torrential downpours. There were flash flood warnings all over place and I saw people drive through water where I was sure that there cars were going to float away. The commute usually takes about an hour and 15 minutes. Yesterday it took two entire hours. It took me nearly 80 minutes just to get out of the city. Anyway, I didn't get as much done last night as I had hoped.

I did want to write about a few days ago and something semi-wonderful that I discovered. In celebration of the nice moments we've been getting between the rain showers, I decided to do a little yoga outside. Now, I've been doing yoga a few times a week since January, but to be quite honest, I took the last few weeks off. Yoga outside was great though. The sun was shining and it was hot, but it felt nice to be so warm and stretchy. The big problem, however, was that my yoga mat kept heating up and burning my feat. It was like walking on the concrete beside the swimming pool. I kept pouring my water on the mat, but then it would get slippery and some of my poses lost their integrity. Anyway, I wonder if they make a mat that is designed for outdoor yoga. That gives me something to ponder.

Well my three minutes are up, plus three more, so I have to run.
