Wednesday I did something I have never done before:  bought something knowing full well I was going to return it.  My search for boots in Harvard Square turned out to be, to use an entirely appropriate word, bootless, so I resorted to ordering a couple of pairs of boots online from onlineshoes.com, which like Zappos has free return shipping.  I'll ( Read more... )

Saturday my massage therapist worked small miracles on my foot.  I think all my muscles had seized up in response to the constant pain and swelling and were stressed from walking oddly.  I'm still not pain free but I'm considerably more comfortable.  As I said to M, my foot now feels like it has the occasional dull ember in it and not a constant ( Read more... )

Phew--purchaser of snake costume loves it, it fits her very nicely (she sent photos--I'm glad it's on a body that suits it, and all is well that ends well.  This was my first major costume sale so I was all kinds of anxious about something going wrong ( Read more... )

Was back and forth about going to a party tonight but I fell sound asleep on the living room floor during savasana.  The world is a very strange place right now.  Think I should stay in.  Just me and the weasel and dance dvds, if I can keep my eyes open...  This is what happens when you start your day off with a massage ( Read more... )

• Yoga Journal stress DVD is pretty good, I did the stress reduction practice last night and lo and behold, my stress was reduced.  There's a neat feature where once you start a pose, you can start a timer that's embedded in the DVD so that you can hold the pose for 2, 5 or ten minutes.  Nifty what technology can do!  I'm really looking forward to ( Read more... )
