Massage Monday


It's been a while since I've had a massage Monday, but Tony at 3D Wellness squeezed me in to help me resolve the mystery of numbness in my left thumb and right pinkie that I've been having since my foot surgery.  I think my whole body is out of whack from wearing a boot and/or using crutches and knee scooter for six months during the past 12 months!

Turns out, my neck and shoulder muscles were pretty tight.  (I'm sure that's not related to everyday stress...she said sarcastically!)  So after about an hour of massage and manipulation, I'm looser for sure.  My hip and legs are in need too so I hope to get back soon for more relief.   

This who foot pain experience has taught me something:  don't let things get this bad before seeking help.  I am also learning that I need to get back into my regular monthly massages with my regular masseuse,  I will find the time and the money to take care of my muscles!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
