I'm actually a senior citizen

Another really busy week, not that there are any other kind these days. I have joined the lion dance class on Friday nights so I'm there every day except Saturdays now. Lion dance was really fun this week, I actually got in the head of one of the lions with Sifu Behringer as my tail. Even though I kept messing up my stepping patterns, was not in time with the beat at all and my lion probably had that duh! look because I forgot to keep it's mouth closed, it was great. As a tail my head kept poking up too high so there is lots to work on.

I had acupuncture for what I thought was carpal tunnel syndrome. The acupuncturist thinks it is something to do with a nerve bundle in my neck... thoracic something, I can't remember what it's called darn it! Basically I have strengthened myself one sided so now there are muscles pressing on the nerves and it's making my hands fall asleep and causing pain etc. I am supposed to go back in a week for another session and start doing rowing exercises.

I went to the doctor today for a suspicious spot I have, turns out it's not suspicious it's an age spot. I guess I am old enough to be getting age spots. I also confirmed with her I have a hernia, what with that the kidney stones and now age spots, I feel like I am turning into a 70 year old man! So my abdominal muscles are separated (probably from being pregnant) and that's why this is happening. I don't know if there was an actual event or a gradual series of events that caused it. Unless it gets worse I am OK as I am, no surgery needed, hurray! She told me that strengthening my abs will help. I laughed...how does 50,000 sit ups sound?
