Throwing Away the Crutches
Hello all. This is a vulnerable one. In case you're wondering about the title, it's not referencing my newly pulled back that occurred while dumping out a bag of mulch Sunday night. Not lifting it... dumping it. It's been a week full of back braces and squishy ice packs . Yay. Saturday I forced a weigh in, at least for myself. We basically haven't weighed in since January. From that point on it was dealing with holiday weight gain and all of our projects (bathroom reno, finishing that reno, carpet installation on the stairs, work instability (still going on) then the never-ending saga with the water coming in on the subfloor/roof hole, etc) so our lives were just fitting in walks where we could when it was cooler. We actually did that quite a bit until the weather got unbearable. When I had to go in for my vulvoscopy June 3rd, I accidentally caught a glimpse at my weight and it leveled me. I was 10 lbs higher than when we came bac...
Those birds were about to pop out some little birdies from the looks of it (hard to tell in the pic, but I saw them up close). It is weird seeing the living room without the tree now, funny how quickly you can get used to having it there.
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the tennis elbow thing. I've been struggling with it for a few months now and I think it's the way (and length) I hold my Fire. Between my elbow and upper arm/shoulder pain, it's just a constant ache.
ReplyDeleteToday is one of the dogs birthdays (or at least when we celebrate it) so I have a heart-shaped treat for them later today. Today is the last super cold day for the week and could possibly hit the 40's this weekend so a lot of the snow will probably be gone by then. It's a good thing I have the rubber booties for the dogs because that sloppy mud is the main reason I bought them, even more than the snow.
The hubs had a bad scare Monday morning going to work with his coworker where they hit black ice on the interstate and went across all lanes of traffic and would have ended up in oncoming traffic if they hadn't hit the ditch first. He said he's not sure how they didn't flip over but they didn't -- thank God! Needless to say they got off the interstate where they could see a bunch of more accidents up ahead of them and took the lesser traveled roads to get to work. He said it was very quiet in the car after that. Eek.
