Today I told my arthritic self and my anxious self to go screw. I got up early and did sun salutations in my yoga room, for the very first time since Jay and I moved in. Which, by the way, was two months ago. Crazy. Usually when I do yoga, and this is completely counter-intuitive, I watch TV. Hence telling the anxious self to go screw. I am typically afraid to be alone with my thoughts for too long because I mentally beat the crap out of myself. But I have to say it went pretty well. As for my arthritic self? During, my hands liked it more than my spine did. It was a different story when I finished. Of course, after physical therapy, my hands and my left leg are tingling and sad. But I tackle it again tomorrow with yoga therapy.

Gruyere and Folding Chair

Today I went off to the hospital (again) to get electroshocked and stuck with needles (again). I don’t believe I mentioned it, but recently I was informed that I have arthritis in my lower spine and that I may be dropping things and losing feeling in my hands because of carpel tunnel. Turns out, it isn’t carpel tunnel but more arthritis. Physical therapy, yoga therapy and occupational therapy for the foreseeable future. What fun!

That being said, my husband was kind enough to take time out of his work day to take me to the appointment. Last time they did the work on my left leg and I was unable to walk properly for a couple of days. I was worried about what it would do to my hands - turns out we only tested one and I probably could have driven. But. Jay and I got the new bacon sundae from Burger King. It was fine. It would be better made at home with crispier bacon and chocolate ice cream.

I tried to sit outside in the sun after my appointment with the latest issue of Cooking Light, but my projects were calling to me so I went inside and got to work.

Now, after making turkey patty juicy lucy burgers with apple and Gruyere, kale chips and grilled peaches with brown sugar and balsamic, I am listening to Feist radio on Pandora. I love how much Regina Spektor the station plays. Plus, drinking a glass of white and doing some writing. 

How was your day?
