Today’s blog is brought to you by…..
….the Knittiot’s inner old lady. Sure you hear all the time about the inner child and its feelings. We are told to nurture the inner child. To look after it and be kind to it. But what about the inner old lady? She has feelings too you know. Like when she doesn’t wear her orthotics all week and can’t figure out why her sciatic nerve is bothering her. And then she decides, even though her back is bothering her, that it would be a good idea to spend 2 hours hunched over her spinning wheel. She feels pain. Pain in her lower back. Pain everytime she moves. There is no sitting, standing or walking position (or any posture in between) that she does not feel. The inner old lady has feelings alright.
And let me tell you this folks, when you spend three hours on a Wednesday evening trying to log on to World of Warcraft without success, the inner old lady gets cranky. Very cranky. Apparantly my inner old lady doesn’t like waiting. As a matter of fact, she seems to hate it quite a lot. Lucky for the folks over at Blizzard, she was able to log on this morning and play for a bit, or there may have been an unfortunate incident involving a hammer and some WoW servers.
I am now going to drag my inner old lady home so she can rest her aching back, take some Ibuprofen, and pour a Guiness for herself before settling down for a productive evening of playing more WoW — if she can log on. If she can’t log on, I can’t be held responsible for her actions.

Aww, I hope the inner old lady feels better after some well-placed Guinness. Sounds like a good prescription. Stay away from hammers. (Norma of Now Norma Knits)

Sounds like the inner old lady needs a rest. Or at least she needs to step aside and let the inner child take over for awhile!
Merry Christmas! I hope you’re having fun with your mom!
