Did a bunch of adulting today. If you’re trying to get hold of me, just keep pinging. I feel like my ability to track what needs to be done is very low. I made the mistake of putting Chess the musical on, and now I have to listen to the rest of it before I […]

I got derailed again yesterday; I was starting to slip into “coming down with something” mode and let things just stop after a while. Read a bunch of romance web comix. Several that I like are on hiatus; in one of them, the second male lead (whom I like better than the first male lead

Yoga didn’t happen this morning; I was overwhelmed from that post yesterday and Could Not Even on several things. Here’s the deal: I *should* be okay with sharing my opinion with the world. I’m a writer and that’s kind of the whole point. But I was not okay. Part of me is still, frankly, waiting

The “Want to Change the World for Women” rant. RANT FOLLOWS. Then yoga. I was scrolling through FB as I was waking up this morning (so sue me, it’s not a habit of top CEOs) and ran into a shared post: “What would you do if there were no men on earth for 24 hours?”

Yoga & walkies: working on the traps yesterday paid dividends, as in the whole walk (which was VERY long) my back didn’t hurt. In fact, my back hasn’t hurt all day. Now, my hip opposite the shoulder that hurt, THAT hurt. But not my back. I did some proto-pigeon poses this morning, though, so it’s

Exhibit A: The trapezius. I was looking up more exercises having to do with the tight spots I’ve identified and ran into material about the trapezius muscle, which I knew about vaguely but didn’t really grok. (It’s a pair of muscles that run from the bottom of your skull to just below the bra strap.)

Today I’ve felt off all day; I’m trying to make use of it. Yoga: I once again did back bends over the foam roller; they felt physically fine, but when I went out for the walk I felt headachey, nauseated, shaky, feverish. I only went out for a short walk. When I got back I

A draining day. Yoga: did the same stuff as yesterday that left me freaked out and…nothing. At first I thought it was because I was just overcompensating/being stiff instead of accessing flexibility, but no: I caught my own shadow and my shoulders were moving differently, less stiff. It was weird, seeing my shadow and feeling

Post before pics this morning so I don’t forget. I woke up sore in shoulders, hips, and back but feeling pretty good. Yoga, I did my standing poses, then dug out the foam roller bolster and used it on my hips and back. While working on hips, I recalled the feeling of dropping them from

Woke up stupid early and went out to do yoga in the dark, which was really nice. Holy crap were my shoulders sore again, and now all the way down my spine and along my ribs. The muscles are a little softer again, though, so it’s probably a good thing. There’s a particular way of
