Another session with Emilie

( Apr. 14th, 2011 10:48 pm)
I was feeling a bit creaky (knees and right ankle) but things went well, and Emilie commented a few times on how well my feet were lining up, the good position of my pelvis, and such. I seem to be internalizing a bunch of what we've been working on.

( details )


At the end, while I was signing the sheet that we'd done the session (so she will be paid for it), Emilie said that I make some sort of progress every week. I was surprised, because I feel as though I've got chunks of "two steps forward, one step back," but she's noticing balance and proprioception more, and my "one step back" is likely to mean knee pain.

Five random things make an entry

( Jul. 29th, 2007 03:03 pm)

  • This summer's butterflies are red admirals. There are cabbage butterflies, as always, but lots of red admirals and few swallowtails or monarchs. I'd noticed that a lot here in New York, but there were quite a few in Montreal as well.

  • Knowing that fretting is pointless helps a little, but only a little. Tea, hugs, and actually getting the good news (or lack of problems) confirmed is much better.

  • It's been a good summer for fireflies, at least compared to the last few. (I don't remember well enough to say whether there are more or fewer now than when I was a child.) Also, either they've gotten better at evading capture, or I've gotten slower: I had trouble catching one on my hand a few weeks ago.

  • It appears that the only agreed-on border in Arctic waters is that between the United States and Russia. (The Atlantic and Pacific boundaries further south seem mostly settled, at least on paper.)

  • New York City may set a record for rainfall this year. OK, this happens, the data set is only 150 years. What worries me isn't the amount of rain--it's that the forecasting is noticeably less reliable than it was three years ago. That's both likely evidence of climate change--an increase in chaos in the system--and a practical inconvenience. Inconvenience now, when it's whether to carry an umbrella. More than that come blizzard season, or when the next hurricane hits Long Island.

  • Current Mood: pensive
