Addendum

To my most recent post . . .

I eventually did get up, when the dryer buzzer woke me with a start, causing me to accidentally drop the cat on the floor. Unphased, she lay where she fell and went right back to sleep.

I took the opportunity to do my wide angle forward bend as I started The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I'm only a few pages in, but it's quite compelling. And I must be making progress on the stretch because for once, I didn't get any back pain.

I'll get the real test tomorrow when my eight-year-old niece and I attend an aerial silk class taught by my friend Caroline.

Will keep you posted. . . .
