I thought I had answered this comment. The important thing is to move our bodies from time to time, just the opposite of what some of us were taught as children..."Stop fidgeting! Be still!" It is nice to work alone so we don't annoy other people. :) Cathy,

So I try to get more comfortable I just stopped typing for a minute here because the cushion on the chair seems wrongly placed and broken button thing on the actual chair is poking me somehow....then my elbow fell of the arm rest...there is a noise over by a door, I keep swivelling my head trying to see it I have retrieve the noise, had to stand up and lean down between the narrow space and it's a little plastic bag catching a draft and hitting something else! I will have to go after this message because I just realised I need to go back to the basement and get some bubble wrap and then fix this loom I sold recently. A carrier is picking it up in a few weeks but parts need securing. I was in the basement for 2 hours 'fidgetting' with my dyepots, yarns and the coloured stuff is drying outside... see you all later :-) .-= Cathy in NZ´s last blog ..<a href="http://cedar51.livejournal.com/25053.html" rel="nofollow">New Semester Week + other things</a> =-.

That's what gets me out of the warm bed, which is "unwanted movement" until I consider it's fidgeting. I do everything that's good for me. Someone gave me some DELICIOUS fiber chocolate drink mix. I used a bunch & felt like I was drunk--all day. Finally saw the Aspartamine on label. Threw it out. Don't eat sugar & that didn't have sugar but... I DO want it because I know it’s good for me.

I'm fidgeting now as I sit here at the computer. At night when I'm warm & cozy, the house is really cold, & I need to get up---I always remind myself, "Fidgeting is good for you." I classify unwanted movement as fidgeting. I get up. Fidget is a new word in my vocabulary. I’m fidgeting now as I sit here at the computer.
