It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, what the rest of the family and I have been reading and watching, and what I’ve been writing. Some weeks I share what I am listening to.

This past week I had a sciatica issue. I didn’t think it was my sciatica because the tightness and pain was in my calf muscle. Erin from Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs  told me that she’d had sciatica  and it went all the way down her leg though so I decided to look for stretches for sciatica, which I’ve had to do in the past, even though the pain had never been this bad. I found a couple of stretches and they helped a little but I was still in a ton of pain.

I saw one stretch that I thought looked stupid so I refused to do it. The guy was saying something about leaning against a wall and pushing on your hip. I thought that sounded like the dumbest, useless thing ever.

I saw it again two days later, though, when I was still in pain. It was a “shorts” video on YouTube.

This time I really listened to the guy (a physical therapist) and actually tried it. Within five minutes the pain was gone. Later in the day it was like I’d never had the injury at all.

I have reinjured it a couple of times since then but so far, the stretch has worked each time.

I’m leaving the link here for anyone who might need the stretch in the future:

I hope the pain stays away this week — I have things I need to do, including driving 45 minutes one way to get Zooma the Wonder Dog a check up and her nails trimmed.

I’m still  reading A Fatal Harvest by Rachael O. Phillips because I lost the book for two days. I’m also reading Come, Tell Me How You Live by Agatha Christie. My week last week seemed to be full of less reading time than I hoped but I actually think I will have these books read this week.

After these two I’ll be diving into Murder, She Wrote: Trick or Treachery.

Coming up later will be  Hours We Regret by Chelsea Michelle and Damsel in Distress by P.G. Wodehouse.

Little Miss and I will be finishing The Good Master this week.

Last week I watched It Happened One Night with Clark Cable and What’s One More with Cary Grant. Last night I watched Pennies from Heaven with Bing Crosby.

I also watched some Murder, She Wrote.

Last week on the blog I shared:

• Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot Oct. 10
• Comfy, Cozy Cinema: The Five Year Engagement
• 10 Classic Movies You Can Watch for Free on Tubi

I’m listening to Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.
