I literally just said out loud “Body, why you be like this? You suck!” as I tried to uncross my legs as I perch on my stool in the kitchen. Feeling like a large, slow moving, lumbering thing but my brain is ready to start getting things done. Hate that contrast. I downloaded a book last night called “The Mind and the Brain” which explores the relationship between thought and physical function, supported by scientific research. No one could want to feel better more than I do, and I try to do the right things to stay as healthy as I can. I feel like I am always grabbing at straws to try to find new ways of addressing the same physical issues. Today, maybe it is the rain, maybe it is the lack of RA meds (but shouldn’t the increased pred be taking care of this? hmmm…), maybe it is the fall that painted my lower half purple last week -- but I am sore all over to the point of zombie walk today. Oy. So hard not to retreat under the blankets and stay there. Glad I have so much to do!
A quick link today so that I can get ready for the day’s art times. Here is Lauren Finley, machine embroiderer extraordinaire! Really densely stitched pieces that are original in theme and have excellent craftsmanship. Wowwwwwza -- I can’t imagine the time spent on these works! With the upcoming class I started, I might be finding out, though! Enjoy her work!
