#30daysofbiking -- Day 5

Wildlife near the Bike Trail   Nay!

After posting yesterday, I realized my wrist was sore to quite sore.  I started getting sharp pains, a bone on the sore wrist looked a bit higher than a bone on the other wrist, it was a bit swollen, and the icing seemed to do little.  Since I wanted to make sure all was well, I decided to go to Twin Cities Orthopedics this morning after Easter sunrise service.  As I walked in there was another couple in the waiting room, but no one else was in the building.  It was strange!  Calling only made the phones ring.  Finally, I reached an answering service, and they told me the clinic was closed.  I explained that even though they were closed, there entire building was open for us to walk around.  Knowing no one at TCO was going to help me, I went to Southdale for an x-ray.  The doctor told me it was a sprain and sent me home with a splint.  When I returned from my bike ride, the doctor called and told me the radiologist saw something (separated bones?) he didn't see, and I should set up an appointment with an orthopedist this coming week.

Anyway, more to come...

Happy Easter! I'm enjoying all of the last of the jelly beans as I post.  One more class of essays awaits, but I don't want to grade them.  We'll see what happens.

I wish I had an x ray machine in my house. It would save a ton of time.

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.
