I feel tingly!
And, unfortunately, not in a good way.
A couple weeks ago, after a few hours of working on some collage stuff in my sewing room, I realized that my legs were kind of numb and achey along the hamstrings and behind my knees. My feet felt like they were asleep, too. I chalked it up to sitting on the chair in that room (which is not the most ergonomic, I'll admit) for too long.
But it hasn't gone away. They feel like that pretty much all the time now. Yesterday morning, my legs still felt the same way as soon as I got out of bed. Tres uncool.

mckitterick suggested it might be the several months I've neglected to sit on my balance ball at the office. I decided I wanted to try Esther Gokhale's method of sitting in a chair with alternate style of back support. I think maybe that's not working for me. Or maybe I need to switch off every month. Something.
I'm back to sitting on the ball today. I could use a bicycle pump, though. Poor ball is a little low after such a long period of disuse.
If my legs don't feel better after vacation*, I'll talk to Risa my awesome rolfer about the problem. Because it's kind of freaking me out.
*A vacation where I shall make the time for yoga and exercise
