Fist bumping

Today in yoga the teacher asked if we wanted to do restorative stuff on the floor, due to the heat and humidity, or suck it up and sweat. Naturally we went with the latter. To get us going she had us thump every part of our body (well except our faces) using our fists. I especially enjoyed beating my own ass.

Then we got down to it and man am I an efficient sweater. That's what it's called when you start sweating immediately and copiously: efficient. It's nice to be efficient at something. My sweat was tasteless, which is a pleasant thing for sweat to be when it drips into your mouth, and I was grateful for the sweet mat-length towel my sister-in-law gave me for Christmas. I was worried in a couple of poses that I was going to squirt through my own limbs like a greased pig and bang into a wall!

OK I really wasn't but it's quite the mental picture, eh?
