 Borrowing this from dirtygreatknife because a) I liked it and b) I am sick and bored and trying not to spend the whole day on the XBox for the sake of my wrists. So.

5 things you will find in my bag

1. Purse
2. Phone
3. Notebook and pen (these are the three things I will be carrying with me more or less all the time in any bag. I may also have...)
4. A large array of pharmaceuticals  (to fend off sudden allergies or attacks of "Ah, nuts! I forgot to take my medication")
5. A book

5 things you will find in my bedroom

1. A large print of "The Lady of Shallot" by J. Waterhouse
2. The desk where I work from home (bad practice to mix work and sleep areas I am given to understand, but it's a large room, and the only space I can shut myself away from the kids and their shouty friends)
3. A carved Chinese style chest that was an 18th birthday present from my parents
4. A rather plainer wooden chest used by my grandad when he was in the RAF.
5. A box of random stuff we have not yet unpacked from when we moved in 2014

5 things that make me feel happy

1. Being in  my garden in Spring when the sun is shining  (that's a hint to the weather)
2. When my kids are getting along with each other
3. Getting good news from the doctor
4. That moment that sometimes comes in savasana after a really satisfying practice when many strains are eased and the heart is very open
5. My beloved spouse

5 things I am currently into

1. It feels kind of like cheating, but there are some things I am pretty much always into: tea, textiles, poetry, yoga, gardening, books, dancing, feeding people. For the stuff that fluctuates a little more:
2. Bioware games
3. Fanfic about Bioware games
4. Crochet
5. Working from home 

5 things on my to do list

1. Write a talk I am giving at the Women in Maths conference at UniSA in about three weeks 
2. Organise a class I have just agreed to give on mediaeval cooking on Oct 2nd
3. Organise something for our 20th wedding anniversary next month
4. Weed the front garden
5. Finish the 'dog on the loom' that is currently giving me weaver's block

No, things are actually pretty quiet at work at the moment, and I have more or less done my Christmas shopping. And I even remembered to post my Christmas cards to England early enough that they might just possibly actually get there before Christmas. No, I have pulled a muscle in my back. I actually did it last weekend, or maybe in Monday yoga, but it was getting better until Wednesday night or Thursday morning. I don't know what I did to make it worse. All I did on Wednesday night was go to the kids school concert (sitting on the oval in a coolish breeze maybe?), but when I got up on Thursday I noticed it was worse, and walking up the hill to the bus stop I began gradually to realise I was actually in rather a lot of pain.

I have spent a lot of time lying down since then, and it has helped, though there's still a very distinct sore spot.

Time to bring back the home practice methinks...
