It’s been a busy morning. Much better than not having enough work! Yesterday I planned to do my usual Monday total body workout, but my shoulder was really bothering me, so I did LMR lower body plus the balance disc bonus. Brownie points for me for getting in balance work. I also did STS 2.0 abs with the mini-ball.
Well, I started this post about an hour ago and got sidelined. My brother called and told me my father had basically set the woods on fire. He’s burning a bunch of crap, even though Mom advised against it, but Dad doesn’t listen to anybody. Period. So I went over and helped put out the flames. Fortunately we didn’t need to call the fire department. I would like to give that man a piece of my mind … but I tried that a while back and it didn’t do a bit of good and just made matters worse. He probably needs to be locked up somewhere, I swear.
Now, back to our originally scheduled program. Did you know there’s a condition called “mouse shoulder?” True story. I’ve been having shoulder problems and have done a lot of online research. I’m pretty sure it’s a rotator cuff issue, but not the typical major tear that requires surgery sort of thing. More along the lines of tendinitis, which can lead to a compressed nerve and the pins and needles I experienced earlier. Anyhow, one very common cause is the hunched forward position we get on computers, and I especially experience when I’m doing intense design work using the mouse a lot. So I’m going to look for a more ergonomic desk and pay special attention to posture. I’m fine when I’m typing, but the mouse kills me.
Cathy – I’m sorry Derek and Aliah broke up. They’ve been together for quite a while, haven’t they? I hope he continues to do okay. That was very nice of you to make sure the dog got back home safely.
Valerie – I’m glad you were able to get your battery replacement scheduled so soon. You sure don’t want it to quit on you.
Carolyn – nice jobs with Super Sets Total Body. Is that the one that has unilateral work? If so, it’s my favorite.
Diane – I hope you and your grandson had fun yesterday. My mom got to babysit her great grandson last week and had a blast. She turns into a 75-year-old kid when she babysits, LOL.
Judy – Congrats on the good mammogram results, as well as the other tests. Yes, that is always a relief.
Okay, I’d better get back to work now. Hopefully my brother won’t call again with another fire emergency. He’s paralyzed, so he can’t help, in case you’re wondering.
