Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too!! I hope your first week back at school has been a smooth one! :D

Shhh,

Thanks, Whisper!

We just finished the first week back and I am so so tired! Getting back into the 5:00 AM wakeup time after two weeks of sleeping late gets harder as I get older... wonder why?

During the break I did lots more yoga than usual and then I found that all those power yoga poses with my (not unsubstantial ie 140 lbs) weight on my wrists aggravated my carpal tunnel symptoms. Oh the painful nights I have had the last few nights! Today I bought a pair of splinted wrist supports to wear to bed.

Hope your holidays were very pleasant...

That hurts! My mom is getting ready to have carpal tunnel surgery this month. She's been fighting it for a while now. I'm sorry you have to deal with that!

Our holidays were lovely. We were able to see almost our entire family! I'm very glad the kids are back in school, as my girls were starting to get bored. Now it's time for report cards (for the primary grades -- semesters) and progress reports (for the middle school grades -- trimesters); all A's, and I could not be more proud! My oldest has been told she will be taking honors science and honors English next year, which makes me happy, as English class this year has been deplorable (ex. Her first progress report consisted of finding eight words out of the book that were difficult for her. -- She's in seventh grade, mind you.).

Okay, anywaaaaay.... I could just keep blabbing.

Have a great week!

how about trying to use fists to lean on instead of your outstretched hands????

also there's a way to actually prop up your writsts with towels or washrags or something like that to help with the pressure on your wrists when you're in down dog or using one or both hadns for support??

post an answer here or email me for more info???
