I want to be less clumsy!

An excellent article on how to rebuild your ankles after a sprain, or help yourself be less clumsy. Not complete, but mentions some easy exercises that one can apply right away. Apparently your sense of your feet and how they're hitting the ground is crucial to the sense of space and how you're positioned. I wonder if this will help me not fall down in the shower? That seems to be my most tricky place - when I turn with my eyes closed I often get a little unstable. It occurs to me to wonder, now, if this is because of the water running over my ears, as I'd thought, or more because of the curve of the bottom of the tub.

the weekend (a little late)

Augh, I keep saying I'm going to make a post about this weekend and how much fun it was to hang around with Aunt S and Cousin S, and I keep feeling as though I don't have time to do it justice.

Short version: Memorial service for Cousin S's father was quite nice, with Air Force ceremony and lots of food at the reception, after. (Which I didn't eat much of.) I had left my camera in my car back at Aunt BJ's and therefore did not take pictures, but retrieved it later and went back to spend more time with Cousin S. We went to her other grandmother's place where she was staying so she could change and then went to Lincolnville Beach with Aunt S. Supposedly other people were going to show up, but they didn't so we got tired of waiting and went to Camden to wander around the shops.

Sunday, Aunt S and I decided we had to go find one of our ancestor's graves, and spontaneously decided to stop at her friend's house which is next to that cemetery. The friend wasn't home, but her husband who is a potter and bronze caster was home, and he gave us a tour of his shop.

That's all I can stand to post at the moment - Flickr is being really slow, I think because they're trying to get me to upgrade. Not the way to impress me, Flickr.

Now I really should do a million things in the last hour before leaving for work. Including calling Aunt S to see when she's coming to visit!
