the one where chana re-introduces herself
Wow! How long has it been? I've started coming back to LJ from time to time because puddinhed is preggers and has been keeping us all up-to-date on the progress of her belly, boobs, and birthing classes. Hmm...I don't remember how to link to another user anymore. Lame.
Soooo -- how've you guys been? I couldn't even begin to write all that has taken place in the last several years since I've been married (which is also when my LJ posts tapered off), so I'll keep it short for now and just say that life has been pretty amazing on this end. Definitely lots of ups and downs, but lately the ups have been dominating the scene. I'm sure no one will be surprised that I have both a full-time job (as General Manager of a silicone body jewelry manufacturing company) and a part-time job (as President and researcher of a cryonics research lab) that keep me busy 6-7 days/week. So my biggest concern these days is learning to watch myself and keep from "overdoing it" as I am wont to do.
To that end, I have been getting semi-regular deep tissue massage to release the insidious network of knots that always manages to entangle my traps. I should mention, though, that I found an great podiatrist here in Portland, and since he *finally* successfully diagnosed my foot problem as Accessory Navicular Syndrome and prescribed the appropriate custom-made orthotics, both my foot and shoulder pain have subsided substantially, at least on a day-to-day basis. And if you have known me since the age of 14 or so, you'll realize what a minor miracle that is!
I have also taken up floating, to which I will likely devote my entire next post. In the meantime, gotta get back to work!
