For those of you who know about Yoga, I actually fell asleep in a fat woman's variation of the Child's Pose. You know, knees a-spraddle, belly dragging on the mattress and head cradled on folded arms as I listened to the music from the "Breathe" yoga show on TV. The Dr. heckled me for stretching my sciatic nerve (let's hope she's right) and then went on to prescribe some Hillbilly Heroin for me. I took one dose, spent two hours scratching madly, giggled inappropriately at the TV, goaded the sleeping cats into play, and to frost the cake, took out markers and started coloring in the dark. About two in the morning, my GoodMan rolled over and told me he was planning on smothering me with a pillow if I didn't settle down. The pain never left, I just didn't care. No more O. for me.
When not feeling too totally crappy, I have resumed machine quilting this un-named project I started last summer at Elizabeth Barton's studio. And no jokes about a dildo farm. This piece is quite large and I really didn't notice all things being at arm's length and all.

I used to try and wake up to do BREATHE... hasn't happened lately. The music is so good and the work seems so easy until try to do it!!
I miss the 8 am repeat of the class. (sigh). But I've never fallen asleep!!
Your piece doesn't "really" look like a dildo farm.. It looks like a bunch of hobbit apartments.
I just plan love your sense of humor. You crack me up all the time.
Your post made me feel virtuous about not doing Yoga! Grin And I like the piece....apartments on Mars? Reminds me of a TV program the kids used to watch years ago..I think it was called The Clangers.
Coloring in the dark...sounds like driving while drunk. I hope your pain has eased.
ummmmmm forgive me for asking (i may have mixed up the Stoopid pills with the Vitamins this morn)---what's Hillbilly Heroin????? Do i have an equivalent here in BC do you supose???
I've decided to call this "
the Desire in the Shire" . Y'all figure it out.
