Since my, ah, fall yesterday (see previous post), I feel like someone has been beating me all over my body with a stout, wide board. If the dog needs a walk, we're going to be very slow.
On the positive side, if we were still in the mountains facing another day of backpacking, I'd be having arnica and ibuprofen for breakfast.
Actually, that's a good idea. And some ice.
And you know I'd do it again.
Hey, I didn't break anything. I MADE IT OUT.
And Cheryl Strayed, in her book Wild, walked, what, 1500 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail in boots that were too small. (are there too many commas in that last sentence?) By herself. Her pack was so heavy, she couldn't walk upright. She called her pack 'Beast'. Granted, she was a mite younger than me. But she was coming off heroin.
Another beautiful cloudless day in Arizona, formerly known as Seattle. It's unnerving to have one nice day after the other. We're not used to it. It makes us anxious. It's not right. We have umbrellas and raincoats and boots at the ready. We're hearty and resigned. So this is damned weird. LA is like this. Not the NW. Here, we're proud of our weather induced depression.
Sheesh.

You might want to go see a chiropractor. There's a real good chance you have misaligned more than one thing or another.
And yes- take the IB's, the arnica and ICE, ICE BABY!
And don't you think that the beast on Cheryl Strayed's back was not nearly as heavy as the metaphorical one?
The beast on Cheryl's back -hahahahahahahaha
