Don't you love her as she's walking out the door

[clevermanka]

After learning from Dr. Jonah that I don't actually have one leg longer than the other, I just have an internal pelvic twist that nobody bothered to diagnose me with until now, I've been working on strengthening core muscles to help correct the issue as well as doing only single-leg movements only when it comes to strength training. Happily, Breaking Muscle put up an article on Three Alternatives to the Pistol Squat just yesterday. I've done the first two, but the third one? Holy shitballs that looks difficult. I would like to have a plyo box at home, but I'm not willing to have something that takes up that much floorspace in my sewing room.

Oh for a dedicated space for all our physical activity stuff: Boxing, yoga, dance, massage...*sigh* But right now mckitterick doesn't even have his own bedroom. He sleeps in his office, which is at the top of the stairs and technically isn't even a real room because it lacks a fourth wall and a door.

Speaking of doors, today's Tumblr collection is Tuesday, January 13: Doorways.

I was reading the same article today. I kind of like pistol squats, but I currently need so much assistance that they're more an upper-body exercise than anything else. Oh, well.

"Oh for a dedicated space for all our physical activity stuff"

be still my beating heart.

I'm glad Dr. Jonah found the pelvic twist. It is always useful to know that sort of stuff, to you know, fix it.

You and me both. Honestly I don't know that I'll ever be able to do one, so it's nice to have these other options which actually look like more fun. Especially that last one. WOW!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

For. Real.

I was "diagnosed" with that uneven leg thing when I was eleven. ELEVEN. Imagine how much better my body could move if I'd been properly analyzed and instructed on how to fix the issue thirty-four years ago.

And people wonder why I have such little respect for western medicine.

*insert wishful thinking about separate bedrooms*

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, having separate bedrooms is the best. I love it.

[write-out.livejournal.com]

Your doorways collection was amazing! Thanks for putting that together.

And what the hell about that diagnosis? I'm so glad you finally have the right one, but jesus what a mess.

I can't wait to bend your ear about intentional movement stuff in April.

Thank you for letting me know you liked it! I do miss that on Tumblr. People can ::heart:: things, but there's no "wow I really like what you did here" response option.

And yes yes! Yes, I love talking about movement and exercise and body mechanics! OBVIOUSLY. And I will probably talk more than you want to hear once you get me started.

Also eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 221B Con!

I know, I wish there was a way to leave separate comments on reblogged posts. But you always have great collections; I just really connected with today's.

Talk all you want! I am a know-nothing when it comes to that stuff, so I will benefit from your knowledge and experience.

CON!!! I just bought my plane ticket today!! What oil bill, I've got a fucking plane to get on!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

OH GOD thank you for the reminder. I better get mine, too.

I izz jealous, too. This whole "married/same bed" is for the birds a great deal of the time.. especially with a bed/covers hog for a partner. I can't get him past the "there's something wrong with your relationship if you sleep in separate beds" mythology. (although it does make it easy to passively let him know I'm pissed off without having to go into detail or he's already asleep).

Doorway Phenomenon! Of course. Stairway Phenom must be doubly dastardly.

Those overgrown railways, eh? Lovely.
And two of the saddest words put together:
Abandoned Palace.

Hey, a steel plyo box makes a nifty art pedestal.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Maybe tell him that we have separate bedrooms and love it? I mean, I can't think of anyone who'd argue that mckitterick and I have a bad relationship.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ha! Those stackable steel plyo boxes terrify me. I have a problem committing my weight to them. I much prefer the plywood ones that don't wobble at all.

[write-out.livejournal.com]

Yes!!! I am arriving Friday at 10:05 am and leaving Monday at 4:10.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I'm arriving Thursday at 9am (oh god don't ask my departure time from KC) and leave Monday at 3:25.

[write-out.livejournal.com]

!!! I wanted to get in on Thursday but couldn't make it work. I would have liked a full day to mess around doing non-con stuff.

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

He knows we are headed in that direction, I just want to get there now. I need to emphasize the point that separate rooms will probably make me more affectionate as I will feel less impinged upon.

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

Loved the doors! Wondering how to make some of them work in my house.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ooo! Good luck and have fun!

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

True dat.

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh I hadn't thought about your "off the floor" thing, yes, I can see them being bothersome.
