Scattershot

Tonight is my first Tai Chi class.

I posted a link to this comic on Tumblr (thanks to ms_danson), with this commentary: "The first part of this comic is my life. The only difference is I don’t want a baby. I’ve been half-living like this for over a decade. I can’t find anyone in Western allopathic medicine (i.e. what’s covered by insurance) to treat me and not my symptoms. I’ve had limited success with naturopaths and alternative therapies, but I am still sick. I’m still cold. I’m still gaining weight. I’m still fatigued. I’ve had to give up so many things I love to do because I don’t have the physical or emotional stamina to keep up with them. Every day I wake up and I feel This Is Not My Life and This Is Not My Body. Except it is. And it is. And sometimes that’s just really, really hard to deal with."

Pretty sure I now have enough evidence that indicates doing morning yoga exacerbates my achey hip (the left one) during the workday.



I'm actively researching adjustable standing workstations because while I would love to up and quit my job tomorrow so I could fuck off and piddle around the rest of my life, I don't see us winning the lottery anytime soon. I'm looking pretty seriously at this one. Does anyone have other brand recommendations?

No Tuesday Tumblr collection this week.
