But I found this one to be extremely helpful and I could do it standing up

I'm definitely trying this.

Sorry for your DH, Scrappy. That is a special pain.

Dog is full of sulk. What she doesn't know is that the reason I am getting dressed and leaving her alllllll alone is that I am going to pick up The Boy from the airport. Apparently five weeks away is too long for everyone involved.

I'm definitely trying this.

As you can see from the comments, a lot of people credit this stretch with helping them manage their sciatica when nothing else worked. That's certainly the case for me.

Ugh, I just got my wife mad because I used the room where she is doing a tele-session to exercise. She said it would be at 6:00 and I finished at 5:36, but the client ended up being able to do it earlier. If I was considerate of her time, I should have exercised after her session. However, I was trying to be considerate because by exercising before, I could make dinner during the session and it wouldn't be late. I have a way of doing the wrong thing even when I try to do the right thing. I don't know why I bothered to exercise anyhow since I don't especially want to live. Anyhow, I'm off to cook dinner now.

You don't do the wrong thing, Gud. You do too much of the right thing without being appreciated.

I made tuna melts in red and orange bell pepper boats, and they are so good!! And pretty!

Timelies all!

Tomorrow we head out on our trip to Toronto.(convention) We're driving, and breaking the trip up into three days there and two days back, with stops at things to amuse Mr. S. I'm a bit nervous about this, as you might imagine.

I'll be sending lots of calm~ma for all of you, Sheryl.

Gud, you'd be in the wrong no matter what you would have chosen. Since there was an unexpected availability, I think you were less in the wrong to have exercised early so to get dinner done, since you couldn't anticipate it.

If you'd exercised later, you would have been criticized for not getting dinner done on time.

PS Have a good trip, Sheryl!

Chilly today. 70F, but feels chillier than that to me. I had been looking forward to a trip to Tupper Lake (where my dad was born) to go to the Wild Center, but I haven't heard a peep from the kids. Yesterday they made noises about maybe going Friday instead. I suspect she isn't feeling good, but it would be nice if they verified this. I am thinking of a date night tonight for us instead, and I'll do the family excursion Friday.

Also, in random whiny news, my younger son's wife is like 4 months pregnant, but they haven't bothered to tell us. Haven't seen them in about 18 months. They didn't bother to say happy mother's or father's day either. It is out of my hands, but I expect a prodigal son scenario at some point. Don't need hair pats, but this is something I carry in my shattered heart every day. I wish I could say I am not losing sleep over it anymore, but that isn't yet the case. Maybe some day it will get easier. Where there is life there is hope?

Oh, that does suck. My brothers don't reach out to me at all, and I don't get much communication out of the family except for Facebook. I feel rather orphanned.
