Three Things and One Thing

Three things I am enjoying right now:

1) The Cora Lael books by MJ White

2) The Bookburners podcast

3) Chocolatey Chai tea

One thing I am not enjoying right now:

1) my right shoulder and arm being so cantankerous.

A weekend to reset

This is a long weekend and I have a family dinner to go to tomorrow but otherwise my weekend is pretty open.

I’m trying to figure out how to balance relaxation with doing some resetting around the house.

It’s always tricky for me to dig into any household project because once I start I just want to keep going and then I burn myself out on the task.

But I am tired of having so much stuff cluttering up parts of my house so I have to find a way to get started.

Perhaps if I consider this weekend a time to organize my project plan rather than a time to finish the projects?

Let’s see how that goes.

My shoulder is misbehaving

One day last week, I took the dog out for a walk and she saw another dog on the side of the road and pulled the leash so hard that it wonked out my arm.

It’s been bothering me ever since but especially over the last couple of days.

I know these things take time to heal so I’m not trying to rush that but what’s annoying me is that I can’t figure out what’s making it worse.

Am I trying to do too much with my arm?

Am I sitting too much?

Is it just happening over the course of the day?

Am I sleeping strangely because I’m moving differently?

Probably all of the above.
