So I had every intention of doing Yoga X today. That is until I got some sad news about a close family friend.

Her name is Sandy, and she's been "adopted" so to speak, by our family. She is actually my mom's boss at work. She's 76 years old. Full of life, always doing for others, and always happy. She's sort of become my surrogate grandmother.

Several months ago we found out she had cancer and it was spreading quickly. She had already beaten cancer twice before, but she was also 20 years younger then. We had a scare about two months ago and she had to go to the hospital. But she bounced back and was sent home about 2 weeks later.

Then a couple of days ago she started to not feel so great. She was admitted yesterday with Pneumonia in her lungs. Her body is just too weak to fight it off this time and she has gone down hill since then. She was on a respirator, but they took her off it a couple of hours ago. She is still breathing on her own at the moment, but it is very labored. She's probably "waiting" for her other son to arrive (he's flying in from out of town and should be here in about an hour). All they can do at this point is try to make her comfortable.

It's really sad. She has been so good to our family. I'm going to miss her terribly.

So I'm sorry Tony Horton, but I just do not have it in me to bring it today. I can't focus on my workout right now. I'll just have to double up tomorrow.
