*picks up the bullwhip

I've been getting a bad case of the late this week, even when my intentions are the best.  Tuesday's long round of drinks and dinner revealed that recent wounds are still unhealed, and conversations about "hooking me up" are not appreciated.  Wednesday's shopping for WildFire didn't happen, and my PT session helped for that day, but sure enough this morning I'm still sore, more than before.  I don't think my PT is getting to the root of the problem.  When I sleep, I hurt myself.  I'll be sure to drive this point home to the folks at Spaulding, and then I want to get back to lifting. Not exercising for two weeks and growing gradually softer isn't a balm for the brain, if you know what I mean.

Before I get all ranty, I'm definitely tired, under caffinated, and my arm and shoulder are throbbing despite taking four Advil.  We are not who we are in a moment, we are who we really are over the long haul.  There's a lot that feels like it needs to get straightened out, and I have to start doing it.  I should be doing much better for myself by this time.  So do it.  Do it, do it, do it.

I found that PT didn't do much for me and the only thing that helps my back and shoulder problems is swimming. I try to go twice a week if you ever want to join. I would check with the therapist to make sure it won't really break you though. I feel much much better now and I am looking forward to being more active again :)

Where do you swim? I haven't gone swimming in ages, and the last time I did I tried swimming across Walden pond. That didn't go so well, and I got tired very quickly. As you might expect!

I'll get to go swimming at WildFire this weekend, which should be nice.

I swim at the Kennedy Elementary School pool on Elm Street in Somerville. It is only 5 bucks to get in as a non-resident and they are open from 7 til about 845. Summer hours are starting soon and I think it opens and closes an hour earlier, but I have to check. I usually go on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am definitely going tomorrow, but Wednesday I won't be able to make it.

As soon as I am done with school and work (June 27th, woot!) I will be going just about every day.
