Learning Challenge:

As I type this I am sitting at my desk with a heating pad on my back like the 80-year-old woman I am. This is why I chose to do one of the deskercise challenges for my last learning challenge. Hopefully, some of these exercises will help me need my heating pad less frequently. I read "6 Yoga Exercises You Won’t Be Embarrassed to Do at Your Desk" and went through the exercises as I read them. Some of the exercises are very similar to the motions my neurologist gave me to manage my neck pain so I will definitely be doing these when I have to sit at my computer for long periods of time. I especially liked the reverse prayer pose and chair twists.

I need you fighting beside me," Rav said, clapping his brother on his enormous shoulder. Kumby, the giant, blinked again willing all of the grogginess out of his mind. "What wa...

Project Brainstorm/Research

Don't ask me what that new and/or unique way is because I have no idea yet, but I'm working on it. Source: http://ackguide.blogspot.com/p/ramayana.html Source: https://www.tatacliq.com/que/ramayana-modern-retelling/ I am leaning more toward this option: I want to take the deities and mythological creatures found in these epics and create a completely new epic of my own.

Gender flipping always makes for a fun read and fresh look at an old tale. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draupadi So...
