let's see: some things.
Jun. 21st, 2012 10:10 pmOrthodontist on Wednesday, and my front teeth are still not where he wants them. Shit and goddamn. But the process is not painful at this point, and it's true that my teeth are not entirely straight, and I can't fault the guy for saying "I can't let you leave my practice with your teeth looking less than perfect, are you crazy, how would that reflect on me?", and that's not even what he's saying - he's saying "The further from perfect your alignment is when you leave here, the more likely you are to have a return of your painful TMJ issues." So there's that, and I'm glad he isn't willing to half-ass it.
I'm having a good week at work, for whatever reason - nothing has really changed, but this week I'm chugging along Doing Stuff that in other weeks I have found draggy and depressing.
Went back to yoga tonight for the first time in three weeks; two weeks ago I didn't feel well and last week I was out of town. And it felt great, of course, but it also hurt like hell some of the time. Any pose where my hands are on the floor is really hard for me because it turns out my wrists don't bend as far back as I'd like them to for those poses to be less uncomfortable. My teacher points out that everything is connected to everything else, and my wrist is inflexible because the muscle on the inside of my forearm is tight because the biceps is tight because because because because because. So I'm going to also focus on more plain stretch-my-arms-out stretches in the interest of my wrists not hurting when I do Table pose. On the other hand, Crescent was also really hard tonight, which it usually isn't - the standing poses are usually the easiest for me because say what you will about any and all parts of my body, one thing that is true is that my legs are very strong. (As a friend once observed about her own self in a witticism I am stealing without shame: they ought to be, they've been hauling my ass around all this time.) It was even harder on the right leg than on the left, which is very weird. Aaand I also need to learn and embrace some sort of stretchy thing that will limber up my hamstrings, because I'd like to be able to touch the floor more gracefully than I can now.
Tidied up my coffee table last night. It's not bare now, but it's a lot less cluttered than it was, and I am not allowed to buy any more lip balm for an awfully long time.
