The trouble with getting older..

.. is that you don't hurt the day after exercise. When I was a child I exercised like a child and he day after I ached like a child. Now I am a mid thirty something I exercise like a mid thirty something and spring out of bed the next morning feeling very spry. However, by twelve hours later I walk like an old lady, my lungs ache and if I cough I think I'll pop a rib. Who will rescue me from this body of near death?

I have the solution....
I used to have the same problem after adult ballet class each week (with the 12 hour - you think you're safe but you're not - delay). Now I do the Darcy Bussel pilates DVD the day before. Gentle tipping of head from side to side and some minimal stretching. Now no pain post-ballet the next day - hooray!
Warning - the camera work on the DVD is TERRIBLE (bit wobbly) and she is more flexible than most :-/

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm
