newbie

OK, so I said I'd never have a blog or do a blog. Well, things change and here I am, joining the rest of the human race. Go figure...

I've been having tremendous problems with my back, more specifically with a pinched sciatic nerve. Did you know the sciatic nerve is the longest in the body? It stretches from the base of the spine all the way down to the ankles. That is one long puppy! Somehow, (I blame it on Panda--isn't that where all problems originate?) I have pinched mine, rendering walking, standing upright, laying down, all these fun activities, beyond my capabilities at the present. With the approval of my doctor, I am trying various home remedies, which actually in combination, seem to relieve some of the pain.

Sitting is good. I can sit like a world champion. So I've been doing a lot of tangling. A couple weeks ago I was able to have a class to learn Zentangle(r). It involves a lot of sitting, so I'm there, baby!!! I'll be posting some of my tangles in the next little while (when I figure out how exactly to do that).

In the meantime, I'll go back to indexing genealogical records, because oh-my-stars-and-bars!, that too is all about SITTING. You can see why I'm becoming such a pro at my chosen sport :)  Later...
