Whiner

Many know that my back has been causing major pain this summer because I frequently whine about it. Today I went to get an epidural steroid and anesthetic injection in my spine. Three years ago when I was having similar pain in my back I received the same injection (The same wonderful person drove me again this time!). I'm fairly certain the tech three years ago was not as attractive as the tech (Matt) that I had today. Plus I'm fairly certain Matt let me leave earlier than I was supposed to after I commented on forgetting my book and commented about the magazine selection (commented = whined). The doctor was not as attractive yet seemed to be thorough and to know what he was doing. While he was doing his initial examination he was checking my strength and reflexes. When he was checking the strength of my arms, I winced. I then had to explain that Body Pump went a little crazy on the triceps. My triceps are quite tender (I whine.). My hope is the injection works as well as the injection three years ago. It will be great to play golf without being in pain after the second hole (ahhh... a whine). Although I wanted to play tomorrow, it seems I need to wait three to six days before I do those things that aggravate my back. Of course this is common sense, but I really (Ah, you see it coming.) wanted to play golf tomorrow (Last whine... maybe I need wine!).

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
