Falling Apart

Last night when I was speaking to my father and his significant other on the phone about my health care directive, we talked about my recent Echocardiogram (an amazing test). The results aren't officially back, but it seems everything is normal. This is the good news. The bad news (translating the doctor's statement) is that I am overweight and out of shape (my words not hers). Anyway, I also mentioned that I was going to the doctor today for this rash/dry skin on my eyelids which is annoying and a bit painful. As we talked, I mentioned that I was falling apart since my hip flexors were in pain after walking in to the gym, working out, and walking home. Again I digress. When I was at the doctor getting a steroid ointment for my eye, she asked several questions trying to find out the cause of the irritation. One question had to do with joint pain. I mentioned that I didn't have joint pain, but my hip flexors were certainly in a lot of pain. This led to her doing some tests and sending me to physical therapy. If it hadn't been for my eyelid irritation, I think I would have spent the summer icing, taking Advil and stretching without any additional help.

My point? I may be falling apart, but I am thrilled with that this eyelid thing led to help for my hip flexors, so I can be more in shape and less overweight. This is going to be a great summer.

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...

Demolition

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars "Today I don't feel like doing anything I just wanna lay in my bed Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything." I am going to school with a thank you/apology note in hand. Yesterday I was "caught red handed" making illegal copies on the staff copier. It's not like it's the first time I've done it. It's not like everyone doesn't do it. It's not like I feel sorry about making the copies The problem is that I was caught, completely "busted". I watched the copy police (lovely lady) walk into make a copy and knew she would see the copies I was making and be upset to quite upset. "Shit," I uttered as I was talking to the secretaries watching her walk into the room. According to the copy police I am banned from the staff copier. Maybe I'll try to follow the rules for the next week or two. An ea...
