fumbling with your blouse

it took going to yoga [real yoga, not the rec center shit] this morning to realize that what i want to pratice really is ballet. i don't hate yoga, but my shoulder injury does. my wrists do. i'm pretty sure i don't have the determination to get through this post-yoga arm/shoulder/wrist pain until i get stronger and that pain isn't there anymore. i'm scared. i wish i still had insurance so i could go back to the doctor and have him tell me what i can/should do. it kinda sucks because i baby my right arm [i'm right-hand-dominant], so in turn i never build up any strength at all. but trying to build up strength aggravates it so much. guidance! meh.

the crocheted belt from happy hooker is just about done, i just gotta weave the ends in and corset that shit up. i picked up yarn for the fingerless gloves in that book at cityknits the other day too, so that's gonna be in the works too. i'll post pictures of the belt today. or tomorrow. btw, cityknits totally wins the yarn store contest [yes, there was one]. the ladies down in the fisher building [btw, the store moved from downstairs to upstairs recently, a couple storefronts down from pure detroit], they are 1000% more knowledgeable and helpful than anyone up here. all shops included. they have the perfect mix of non-pushy-ness and helpful-ness. also, they have WAY more yarn than any store up here. you should support cityknits. it's worth the drive, the parking, &tc. trust me on this. i've been going to the shops around here for about two years now, and only now have i finally made up my mind.

can i make a new year's resolution that begins now? i'm a little late, i know. this year, i want to become more able to accept criticism and more resiliant. is it possible to be too self-reflective? i'd like to share the wealth.
