It's the last week of school and my back has been developing knots for a long time. The gift certificate for a 30 minute massage was intended for today, but it was calling my name Tuesday. I couldn't see the reason in making my poor back wait any longer.
30 minutes of heaven and I signed myself up for another massage next Tuesday. The giant knot in the middle of my back is still present. It's like a tickle button. Hit, press, or touch the spot and my whole back spasms like I'm being tickled. Jen the masseuse wants to work on it again ... And I am happy to let her.
In celebration of a happier neck and shoulders I've concocted my very own ergonomic chair at work.
I have the least ergonomic work space. I am the receptionist and tech specialist at a small school. My desk is a countertop that was set at the height for someone 6" taller than I. The chair is armless, which is a plus, but it leans back instead of being straight. I've put a box under the desk on which to rest my feet so they don't dangle. Today, I finally put a rolled up sweatshirt behind my back, tied it to the chair ... And now have a cushion that curves with my lower back. It is incredibly comfortable.
Carson would be proud. If you ever get the chance to take an ergonomics class with Carson, he was at Yarnover this year, take the class!
I hope this is the road to a little bit longer knitting time.
In designing news, I'm ripping back the final section of another shawl. I don't like how it's turning out ...and luckily I added that lifeline a few days ago. Crossing my fingers that this new idea feels right!
