Day two of torture.

I’m still lying in bed enjoying the tranquility that the house is offering me at the moment. The sun just started peeking over the horizon telling me that it’s really the crack of dawn. Last night wasn’t so bad because I made sure that Tristan was almost attached to my hip the whole time that he was awake.

Sad but true, I was using my nephew to shield me from his uncle. When it was bedtime, I also retired to my room and shut myself in it for the rest of the night. That didn’t mean Kyle didn’t try to trap me into stepping out of it but after his second try, he finally got the message that I was not in the mood to play along with him.

I got the answer to my hormonal imbalance as it turns out that I’m coming close to that time of the month - next week to be exact. No wonder I was horny and irritant all at the same time. Thank god it’s not because I had the hots for Kyle! I bet he will brag about it with his golf buddies or whatever he does on his spare time aside from women of course.

Since the rest of the house is still asleep, I thought of jumping in the shower for a cold one before I do some yoga. I missed doing it yesterday because a certain someone -Kyle - decided to be altruistic and turn off my alarm clock. Resulting in him almost burning the kitchen, what a brat!

After I pulled out some black yoga pants and a white singlet along with my underwear, I spread out my purple mat closer to the foot of the bed on the floor. I then, made my way to the bathroom and turned on the knob. I didn’t even hesitate to jump in and shocking my body into full alertness as the water hit my body.

A few minutes into it, I got used to the water and started lathering up some lavender scented shampoo with my lilac scented body wash. This is just a normal day, I said to myself. Tristan is not going to wake up for another three hours which will give me time to meditate and prepare his breakfast.

Today is one of those days where it’s a lazy day. The more I thought about it, the more things kept on popping up that needs to be done. Such as grocery shopping. I guess we do need food. When I’m done my yoga, I will do an inventory check for things that needs  restocking.

Once I was done showering, I dried my body and ran a brush through my long blonde mane. I think I need a haircut. I twisted my hair up in a tight bun so it’s out of the way when I meditate. I was smart enough to bring my clothes in the bathroom with me this time just in case Kyle decides to intrude my space again.

When I stepped out of the bathroom, my eyes scanned the room as if I was expecting my personal hell on earth sitting on the bed, or leaning on a wall or standing by the door. Alas, I am finally alone. I better take advantage of this while it lasts.

I started stretching my arms and legs just to get to the many positions of yoga. First, I bend my left knee and stretch out my right leg all the way back; I stay on this position for a good ten seconds, then, I switch position with the right leg this time. I straightened up into a standing position and stretched my arms outward leveled with my shoulders. I kept that stance for a few seconds until I started feeling gravity pulling on my forearms. I lifted them above my head and balanced myself on one foot with the other bent up to my knee.

When I felt that I was about to lose my balance, I switched. Before lowering down my arms, I put them back in the same outstretched position as earlier leveling again with my shoulders. As I lowered my arms to my side, I started rotating my head from side-to-side and in a circular motion. Right after that, I bent over and hugged the back of my knees with both of my arms. I stayed like that for a few more moments just letting my breathing even out.
