Recouperation and Routine

After a visit to the orthopedist, and x-ray and a huge shot of cortisone into my ankle, things are getting better. Oh, maybe it's the massive anti-inflammatory meds I'm on. Either way, it led me back to yoga. Without (full body) swimming and running, I was going bonkers. So, I finally found a use for my Borders Rewards coupons that fill up my spam folder. I bought a yoga CD set from Baron Baptiste. I've been doing it regularly and it really has helped in strength, flexibility and balance. Not to mention general toning and happy feelings. I had really let this injury make me feel defeated. Hopefully it will work out. I've been banned from my road bike with clipless pedals, but I'm now supposed to start swimming again. Yippee!

In other news, I finished Archival Clothing's sweater -



I got so inspired, I started my own February Lady Sweater with the other vintage, hardship wool. Today my wrists are questioning that decision and so I ordered some squishy yarn from Webs to counter it.

Okay, off to sewing class at the Craft Center. I'm trying to become one with my vintage Singer.
