Hi friends! Long time no write.  As LL Cool J would say, ” Don’t call it a comeback.”  I can’t promise any real frequency with updating on here, but when the mood strikes I suppose I’ll make an appearance.

All week I have been suffering from a backache.  There’s one specific spot where a knot has formed and apparently wants to stay.  I’ve tried everything to undo the kink, yet the knot persists.

Standing in the shower Friday morning, I positioned myself  so that the hot water would hit the area of concern.  Unfortunately,  it’s also that lovely time of year when my sinuses and I battle it out.  So as I was leaning forward, the pressure in my sinuses became unbearable.  I recalled a yoga position that is supposedly good for clearing the sinuses.

Because I was desperate for some kind of relief from either my back or my sinuses, I assumed this yoga position…in the shower.  I’m not sure I can explain the stance properly, but you kind of bend down and twist your upper body so you are looking upward.

However, looking up in the shower with water coming DOWN from the shower head is the perfect way for water to land in your ear.  Most of you were probably already aware of such a fact because of a little thing called COMMON SENSE.  But sometimes desperation clouds judgment. Or at least that sounds good so I’m sticking with that.

When the shower was all said and done, the knot in my back was still there, my sinuses were still a nightmare, and water was now in my ear.   I spent the first part of my day shaking my head violently to the side in hopes that the water would trickle out.  Because, ya know, that helps.   Eventually the water found an exit downgrading my horrible day to simply a bad one.  How lovely!

In conclusion, my public service announcement of the day is this: There is a time and place for yoga moves and the shower is not that place!
