Thank you, People,

I made it to school on time, drank lemon balm tea during the day, and took extra klonopin. I practiced smiling a lot in case it would spread to the people I had to deal with.

I needed to score some points with my boss after a bad meeting on Tuesday so on Wednesday I asked her if she could come to one of my classes and do something breath work with my students (she has been doing yoga forever and sometimes teaches classes here and there).

She "thanked" me for "inviting" her.
She spent a half an hour teaching them three breaths, asked them to briefly write about how they feel their power, spoke a little about yoga, and took a question or two.
Then I let the class go a few minutes early and texted her a "thank you."

I feel better now about the relationship she and I have. She clearly was happy that I asked her to share her yoga gift.
