Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it! One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc. I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling. My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust. (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...
I guess we just don't realize how much we use our thumbs until an injury prevents us from doing so! I hope you heal fast!
ReplyDeleteI have a recurring problem in the tendon connecting my thumb & wrist so I feel your pain, and your frustration with it. I also want to take the opportunity to tell you to ICE THAT THUMB! If it doesn't heal up soonish you might check with you actual doctor (instead of urgent care) or a physical therapist.
ReplyDeleteHang in there, the accomplishment will be sweet when you're healed and back in action!

Don't make me get all Vanilla Ice on you! Ice Ice Baby!
ReplyDeleteHope you are icing that finger, wouldn't want to have to travel half way across the country to force you to ice-lol! As I was reading you description of the exercises I went through the motion and I never realized just how many muscles are involved in moving your thumb! Hope the exercises help and you are back to strength training soon.
ReplyDeleteIce your thumb!
ReplyDeleteI hear you, I'm battling my wrist again and it is sooooo annoying. Good for you for taking it on yourself to find some exercises to help. Maybe I will try that. I have been wearing my brace to bed but maybe need to wear it more...
Ice, Ice baby...come on!!! Get to icin' woman!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you'll be getting some physical therapy for your thumb. I worked for a therapist for a while, so I'm familiar with all the exercises you have to do. Isn't it a great feeling to say you miss strength training?! I said this morning that when I got home I was going to do a butt-blasting video that kicks my tookus every time...and it's less than 10 minutes long! There is real truth to strength helping to burn more calories. I hope this therapy is a great success so you can get back to your ST routine by the end of the month or so!
