3 weeks into it...
This is the space that john & I built. the pictures only tell part of the story; the interior vibe (for me, at least) is one of love and beauty and yoga. the delicious warmth of the awesome concrete floors is too tough to convey in words. it sounds so corny "labor of love", but i'm not sure how else to describe the result of our hard work and the challenging journey that brought us here. what joy to share it.

24-Hour Countdown
sleep not coming, mind-stuff so fluctuating, body a-jittering:Are we really opening tomorrow? the guru poster is in place, the staircase is sturdy, the floor is radiant and toasty, the wc has tp. the gods might get hung, the dog has no balls, the shower is weak, but it works. friends are coming to practice, we have no cubbies or coathooks, no seating, no mat storage. some trim is not there, the thermometer is MIA, the thresholds not painted. I bought some tampons and toe tape.....my back is not bending.

From the photos-only posts, it's fairly obvious how preoccupied we are with finishing the space. JW is on last-minute, can't-open-without-them details -- heating the floor, swapping sinks, building a staircase, hanging lights and redoing just about everything our "employees" so sadly already did. badly. Today was a big day -- we all walked on the newly stained floor in stocking'd feet and the opaque film went up on the windows. no more looky-loos.
ps. that's bubba sniffing the new storefront -- his last day as a man-dog.
