I’m starting tai chi today. I’m  kind of  a dork when it comes to following “body” commands. Do what with my arm? Left? Right? Huh? We’ll see how it works out hahaha. But one good thing is that my orthopedic Dr. figured out my shoulder problem (which has returned). My joints are hyperflexible. I just figured everyone could touch their thumb to their wrist, etc. LOL. So I need more physical therapy and also I have to get in shape and become muscular. Which I am totally not. :) My Dr. was pretty shocked that this hasn’t been an issue before. But I haven’t had any orthopedic problems until now.

BRING IT ON, 2008!!!! hahahahaha
