OT: Whine, whine, whine.
Comments (24)Well, I needed some vibes and I sure got them! You're all amazing. (a la HGTV: Auh-MAY-zing!) It's actually in my elbows, which is radiating down between the forearm bones. In a way, thank GOD it's not carpel tunnel or in my wrists. OTOH, I teach therapeutic yoga and have things to help relieve CT, but you're right. The joints are too stressed. My muscles can handle lifting these stupid doors. My joints and tendons aren't as strong. I recall feeling my left shoulder separate, which thank goodness healed, but my right elbow is the workhorse. I've been fighting the idea of rest because I just don't have that option as a whole. OTOH, I just this second remembered I"m going to visit my mom on Sunday for 4 days. I don't have any doors to lift until then, and my drill can wait. Meganmca, I also sleep on my side with my head on my arm, arm outstretched. Earlier, I realized I can't have the forearm hanging off the edge of the bed or I'm crippled from gravity the next day. Now I'm trying not to straighten it. I'm not a fan of braces, either, although to restrict movement, vs. supporting a weak muscle is pretty OK. Unfortunately, I'm way past that. As far as shots? Not if I can avoid them. I also deal with students who've masked their pain and done so much more damage. Once you get a shot, people seem to become reliant on them. Baltra, you teach yoga? I cannot tell you how many times I have to say that to my students. In sports? Pain, no gain! In yoga? Pain? No gain. Ci_Lantro? I've heard of Tiger Balm. I'll look for it. Arnica is fabulous for the muscular part of this, also. Rhome410, are you actually suggesting something so radical and heretical as me sitting still? Are you INSANE? Hell might freeze over. And I will just not be held responsible for global climate changes! Lazygardens, that's a nightmare! Not only am I working inside, I'm a gardener tentatively returning to my gardens after couple of years of Twilight Zone emotional trauma. There's as much to be done outside as there is inside, of not more. I hope you're improving, vs just in a holding state of nerve and tendon damage. How awful. catlover5, pets are my saving grace. My little stinkers. If I do sit still, it's because on is in my lap. I learned a long time ago that their time with me can be brief, so if one wants some loving and petting, everything else in this world can just keep their pants on and wait until they're done. I don't put them down, I don't shoo them away. They are my peace, where my gardens used to be. You guys could all be star yoga students in your united advice. What kills me is that you're telling me stuff I already know [smacking head with hand] As I have a nice, big, glass of red wine. Did I mention BIG? Bless your hearts and thank you....See MoreI'm having a bad evening...can I whine?
Comments (10)Well, I got over my whine five minutes after my head hit the pillow. (Zzzzzzzzzzzz) LOL! I turned the fan on in all zones so that the warm air would circulate through that room, and I plugged in my electric blanket. I even slept in until 7:00 today! I'm pretty sure THAT alone will make the sky fall. :-) I never sleep that late... It's supposed to warm up into the 30s today and maybe the 40s tomorrow and Tuesday, so I'll see when the H/A people can come out and fix this darn thing. I'm thinking about having them fix it for good - as in, change it over to ONE zone operated with ONE thermostat. Electronic stuff - whether computers or cameras or TVs or whatever - is such a blessing and such a curse at the same time!...See MoreI'm baking today!
Comments (24)A digression but I love rhubarb sauce, and the mention of it brought this to mind as another way to use rhubarb. This is really tasty with grilled pork or chicken. Rhubarb and Dried Cherry Chutney (Makes 1 cup) 1 cup medium-diced fresh rhubarb 1/2 cup small-diced onion 1/4 cup coarsely chopped dried cherries (or dried cranberries) 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup sherry wine vinegar (or red wine vinegar) 1 T. honey 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest 1/4 tsp. kosher salt Combine all ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover, and simmer over medium to medium-low heat until onions are mostly translucent and juices are beginning to thicken, about 5 minutes. Uncover and simmer, stirring frequently with a heatproof spatula, until very thick, another 6-8 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks....See MoreI'm going to meet a rescue dog today!
Comments (29)Aww, thanks Maggie. I think you have a good heart, too. My husband just rolled his eyes when I told him I want her. He knows I usually get what I want, I guess it's lucky for him it's rescue dogs and not diamonds. We will all definitely spend some time with her to make sure it's a good fit. I know the heartbreak of taking in a rescue that we had to return because he bit me once severely on the arm (yes, I kept him thinking maybe I had startled him) but then attacked me when I patted the seat to tell him he could jump up to sit next to me. Luckily I was wearing a thick bathrobe and he never broke skin. My husband cried when he brought him back to the shelter, he had gotten really attached in the two months we had him....See MoreMaryl (Okla. Zone 7a)
