I'll start with a quick thanks to z-man (20). I haven't had a chance to go over the html tutorial site all that much, but it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. Instead of boring you all with some of the more ho-hum details of The List, I'm going to just do a quick driveby of some of the drier stuff and then move on to the meat of today.
2. I wrote for two to three hours today. I also ordered a couple single issues of literary journals so I can become more familiar with the marketplace.
10. 13. 16. 17. two miles on the treadmill. more yogalates (Downward dog? More like downward bitch. That shit is hard.)
24. The cleaning continues.
12. Called about a job.
So, my mom showed me how to make chicken and dumplings today (19). That's one of those foods that just makes me warm and squishy inside because it was one of those big deal meals growing up. "Mom's making dumplings? Sweet! I'm skipping lunch." But the preparation of the meal in this instance was perhaps a bit lacking. Okay, so to make the dumplings, you mix up some flour and salt and pepper in the mixer. Then you add Crisco to the mix. Here's where it gets fun. I dumped the first glob of Crisco into the bowl and it immediately attached itself to the mixer, creating a rotating paddle perfectly designed for spraying flour all over the kitchen. So, my mom steps in and says, "No, you need to turn the mixer down first." So we did that. And then, once the Crisco was blended in, she said we could turn the mixer up again. Poof. More flour. More mess. Everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere.
I've made some serious progress in my reading of Heal Your Headache (16). The author, David Bucholz, M.D., claims that everyone is prone to migraine, that what is commonly referred to as a migraine (severe headache with vomiting, dizziness, photophobia, etc.) is an extreme case of what everyone deals with. Bucholz says that we all have a migraine mechanism that, when triggered, causes headaches, dizziness, nausea, stiff necks, bloody noses, sweating, chills, visual disturbances, congestion, inner-ear issues, tension, and so much more. If he's right and his system works, it would be pretty awesome for me because I've suffered quite a few of those symptoms. His system seems to be a long term one. So I'll let you know if it works for me after I've been at it for a while.
I'm grateful for the sweet old lady who lives next door. She always says and does the nicest things (20).

Yes, downface bitch is tough. Have you gotten to the pose where you lift your leg while in downface bitch? Ain't no puppy love.
I tried Bikram yoga about a year ago. I lasted 3 whole sessions until the $20 per session was a little too steep and the class a little to challenging for me (I'm kind of a baby). The room is kept at a balmy 105 degrees for the entirety of the 90 min class. You begin to sweat instantly and by the end of the class you feel as if you just stepped out of the shower, fully clothed, without that refreshing shower scent. Yummy.
Keep up the good work with Ms. Solomon. All that stretching/breathing will keep you energized.
Pull up on the pelvic floor... Breathing into it...Good
