I was doing my strength training session yesterday, and the first song after my warm-up was Bawitdaba by Kid Rock. Well, there's no way I'm lifting weights to that. Mama is putting on a concert of one with face high kicks and head bangs that put Metallica to shame. It was loud. I felt sexy. I felt....dizzy. I went on with the workout and got my 30 minutes in and was a sweaty heap.
"Damn, I wanna headbang to that again."
"My name is KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!"
Yeah. I shouldn't have done that.
When I was done and made my way upstairs, I felt the familiar symptoms of whiplash from last year where I was lightheaded, couldn't properly hold up my own head very well and was pretty sure I was going to die. I knew the Mr was in a meeting that would last the rest of the day, but this is the message I sent him.
FYI- should you come home and find that I have either passed out or died of a cerebral hemorrhage, it's because I headbanged to Bawitdaba....twice. Kinda feelin' whiplashed. (For real) So just make sure that's how people know I died. I rocked out til I conked out. No dating until I've been dead for a year, please. I love you! ❤
Then I fixed lunch which was interesting because I still felt a little dizzy. I thought "I'll feel REALLY good tomorrow." Oh no, that was you 20 years ago. I should've said, "I'll feel REALLY good in 30 minutes."

At that point, I was afraid to shower because I was sure I was going to crash through the shower door. Not wanting to die smelling like sweat and shame, I decided I'd bring my phone up and unlocked it for a medical emergency if necessary.
I made it! (Well, if nothing is written tomorrow then I probably didn't in which case you've all been a lovely crowd, thank you and good night! I'll see you on the other side!)
Getting older is a bite in the @ss.
What things can't you do without consequence that you could do 10-20 years ago?

That cat pic...too funny! Hopefully ice and ibuprofen has helped but if not I am more than happy to continue massaging your neck muscles you little head banger!
ReplyDeleteI love that cat.
ReplyDeleteThe answer to your question - pretty much anything. Definitely too old for headbanging, but that doesn't mean we have to give up the music. I stepped wrong on an uneven spot on a friends floor, 3 days of lower back pain.
You poor thing. I agree about the cat -- hilarious! The dizziness is the worst part of that I would think because feeling like you're going to hurl is awful no matter what. I hope that is gone today and between heat and ice, the muscle pains will go away quickly.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's anything on my knees. I can't even be on my knees to look under the bed. I have one really bad knee (hence why I go down the stairs sideways) and the other is so filled with scar tissue that it's a huge bulge on my knee cap. Even playing with the dogs I have to sit on my butt. I miss the days when I could sit on my haunches and not have any pain. Sigh....
