Last days in Mysore

Yes I'm alive....Been extremely busy here in Mysore this last week, but also not quite in the mindset to write...Last week was one of those weeks where I just existed. I get into a funk sometimes when I have toooo much on my plate - I go completely blank and cannot seem to do anything...Since I knew this was the theme of my week - I respected it and embraced it - and only did what was absolutely necessary each day. Knowing that this little phase would pass I didn't beat myself up TOO much over my lack of attendance to, or neglect of THE REST OF MY LIFE. Phase is past me - productivity is in the air this week - nice to be back to me ;)

So I leave in like eleven days - getting really excited - and now pas the point in my trip where I am sad to leave Mysore - I am now in that mental place where I'm getting uber excited to make my way to Scotland ;) Always works like this though - a process: Denial of the end of your trip approaching, sadness over realization of end of your trip approaching, acceptance of the end of your trip approaching, excitement bursts forth over the end of your trip approaching...same same but different each time. SO that is where I am now - excited to be heading someplace new - but also extremely overwhelmed by all that must be done in such a short amount of time - that is how I ended up in "the mental landfill" last week....the place you find yourself when it is truly impossible to sift through and sort out your own stuff.

Life is busy here in the 'Sore...As always I suppose. This week is already flying by it seems - here it is Tuesday night just before bed and my entire Wednesday is full up with appointments and classes, which means I will take in a few breaths and it will be Thursday - another jam packed day, followed by Friday that too is full up....So when do I pack? When do I send out parcels that need to be attended to? When do I finalize money stuff here with my house, dance teacher, etc? When do I send out all the necessary emails to people in Scotland, America, and elsewhere around the world that I need to contact before heading to my next destination? When do I say my goodbyes? When do I take that day trip to Melkote with my friend Jonathon? When do I pay this months bills in America? When do I make the time to write this months articles for living Mysore magazine? When do I make the time to sit down and spend one last evening or afternoon with Tina? When do I dance my last dance with my friends? This is the stuff that made my mind enter the 'mental landfill" last week. Why oh why can't there be more hours in each day? Guess it doesn't matter much b/c if there were anymore time in the day I'd surely use it to take a nap!

Good night all :)
