    My job is sooooo boring. I've sewn myself into a position that I'll probably have to take a pay cut to do something more interesting.

    I feel for you. brother- I'm looking around myself and find that the higher-end jobs are not ones I'm qualified to do, and the lower-end ones would require me to take a HUGE pay cut. I might be stuck where I am for awhile- and when I say "awhile", I mean "probably forever."

    My own week has been a pain in the hand- I started off Saturday by helping my dad repair some cracks in his garage with that godawful crap called "Great Stuff" (which is not so great) and the nozzle came off, leaving my hands coated with the horrid substance. After dunking my mitts in acetone for an hour, I realized it was too late to get the stuff off quickly.

    I can still use my hands, but food preparation is right out. Snacking is a real pain in the ass.

    Ever try to eat grapes with a fuckin' fork? I have.

    Finally by Tuesday I managed to scrape off the majority of the gunk with a slightly dull razor- and managed to brush up against some nasty plant in my backyard while cutting back the overgrowth- my right hand felt like it was on fire for the next 24 hours.

    Then on Wednesday I was moving an oven and my wife decided the best way to move things along was by slamming the oven door on my fingers.

    The week's not over yet, I can't wait to see what the next few days brings!

    I've been going up on weights at the box. Of course, on the day we focus on form and use only two sets of weights (less than 10lbs), I do something to myself. Hubs had a migraine night, so I think I didn't move a muscle after 2am. Something locked up from my jaw to the middle of my lower back. Feels like when I popped the fascia out on my upper ribs, but it's a muscle pull this time. No amount of stretching or yoga has let me turn my head without wanting to puke. Can't eat from all the ibuprofen. After the Foam Roller Fail, I'm going to have to take flexeril tonight. Which pisses me off. New mattress was ordered today, because the stupidly expensive bed is now fucking with both of us. I'm cranky.

    Does this happen often? :( I hope you can see someone and/or recover very soon!

    I have fibro. No flare ups in over a year. Just these relatively minor issues. I started yoga five years ago, which has helped. As I push myself in baby Crossfit and athletic stability training, I get more painful but way less frequent pulls and twinges. Diet helps too.

    Y'know I think we spend a significant amount of our time just dealing with our bodies...

    Even more so, if you're doing it right (for you)
    Trying to even improve
    Or being proactive (like planning for when you're vulnerable)

    It's not magic and nature is ruthless.

    And if a person is wise, they ignore the CONSTANT influx
    Of opinions from people, biases and media exaggerations
    Just doing it for yourself

    We have figure out what's true, what's not (ads may lie, hell docs may lie, etc...)

    What works on you, what doesn't
    What has adverse affects
    What affects another thing you're doing
    What enhances the other things

    What is THAT balance
    For THAT time
    For YOUR circumstance

    And it can change at any fucking time...

    Tweaking, tweaking, tweaking
    Adjusting, adjusting, adjusting

    Now...I'm not complaining
    It is what it is
    It's just that I don't get when people (including me) deny all this
    Or are unaware...Or don't pay attention

    We spend quite a bit of time fighting it
    Ignoring it, rationalizing it, etc
    Which puts you back

    Now some have hit the jackpot...and they don't have issues
    But they will...because it ALL catches up with you.
    They damage themselves, thinking "no worries"

    But the rest of us...we have to deal with all the fun & games that our bodies do
    Our wonderful prisons of no escape
    So how do deal with what you're given??

    You work at it.
    You find out the info.
    You watch yourself.

    And if you don't...nature will screw you up.

    So for those of us...fighting the good fight
    Fighting the system and opinions
    Fighting ourselves...
    Kudos to you

    Because life is not for wusses
    And I'd rather not be just a rock in the middle of nowhere
    It's still a blessing (a messy one...but still)

    My lower spine dislocated Tuesday night in bed, not doing anything fun just turning over. It is back in, but the muscles around it may be torn a lil' bit. Hurts something fierce but today am able to sit up a bit.
