Why am I standing like my childhood hero Paul Bunyan? I read Gertie's post this morning about improving one's posture, which hit home for me. I'm a slouchy lady in most of my activities. I also read one of the links to her blog, Michael Hanko's Science of Singing, which bemoaned the way so many young women stand in a way to minimize themselves (crossing ankles, pigeon toed) or in very high heels. Guilty of all of that. I am not likely to give up heels completely, but I do want to be more cognizant about my posture.
Blokey and I are headed south of the Mason-Dixon line to visit my parents and my awesome sister.* We managed to pack enough for the next 5 days in a small duffel and a carry-on (the duffel mostly holds shoes. Men's shoes are really big). As usual, when I travel, I like to wear head to toe jersey. I have a pair of tights and socks in my purse for security and when it gets cold on the train.
We were very sorry to say good bye to Buster, whom we took uptown last night to his kitten-sitter's apartment. He really held his own against the less hostile adult cats in the apartment. Everyone was very impressed.
Have a great Wednesday, blogging community.

Have a safe and fun trip!
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip, Rad & Blokey. Your travelling style is so smart and comfy. I am, once again, taking notes. Also, your posture is excellent here; way to tighten things up immediately!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip! The posture really does make a difference - and you feel better if you don't slouch all the time too! I know, I sound like someone's mom.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip. I will miss your posts and comments. I know, 5 days isn't that long. The other clique members will just have to do double duty.

For reals on the posture. We just had an ergonomics specialist do individual consults for us at work and it has made a huge difference. It made me think I should do some posture editing IRL too.
