On a limb with Claudia

I’m posting today from my new walking station. I set up a treadmill so I can try walking and working. You see, the Mayo Clinic did a study where people walked and worked with little work interruption. It was so successful that the participants wouldn’t give up their treadmills when the study was over. We rigged a treadmill to work. And we’ll see. If I can improve my health and edit/write? Sounds great to me!

With all these changes, it’s nice some things stay the same. Like our unconscious mutterings. I love it when you play too.  To play, simply answer these word prompts (created by Luna Nina) in the comment section. Playing relieves your unconscious! Try it!

Here are your word prompts:

1. Leads ::
2. Concierge ::
3. Thousand ::
4. Engines ::
5. Argument ::
6. 2006 ::
7. Knot ::
8. Fuck ::

This photo is the shining glory of our accomplishments for the last two weeks – a new sewer drain. It’s tapped into the still functioning old sewer drain but fixed the massive leaks. This sewer has been broken the entire time we’ve lived here and quite possibly for decades. It was fixed last night. I did go out this morning, cup of decaf in hand, to make sure it was still draining. It is. Yes, my mind is in the sewer.
