[desert-voice] Re: yoga gym problem

Hello, everyone.
I just wanted to catch you all up on a brief update. The instructor is no 
longer going to be teaching that class at the gym. She does not work for the 
gym, but taught various classes there. She kind of works as an on call teacher 
if you get the drift, but she doesn't permanently work for them.
She had some family members in hospital and her mother was not doing well. She 
felt terrible for not returning my calls, but she had a reason. It wasn't that 
she was brushing me off or anything. She agreed to call me back and we'd work 
out a day where she would come to my house and work with me on some yoga 
stretches. I couldn't talk to her much this weekend because the in-laws were 
here and yesterday was our anniversary. 
I just thought I'd catch you all up on what had happened. She agreed to call me 
back today, now that everything is slowly getting back to normal. She might 
come over this week.
Other than that, nothing exciting going on here. I hope all is well with 
everyone. 
Take care, and God bless.
