Sunday strain

Leave a comment

Started off today with a muscle strain in my left calf. I had a bad cramp last night. I was trying to stretch it out this morning because it was still sore and might have hurt it more. Such is life, I’ll just add it to the list of pains to ignore.

I’m straining to keep a positive attitude with this weather. At least the rain has stopped for a few hours today. But remaining cloudy and cool with more rain tomorrow is challenging my patience. So much for the BBQ’s this weekend.

This week is a rebuilding and refinishing week for this body and mind. Just like this window I’m in trouble so a new frame, glass and some paint and we will be running strong again.

I’m not sure if the physical is affecting the mental attitude or the mental attitude has affected the body. Usually when I’m in better spirits the physical stuff isn’t as apparent.

And like the photo below says, “Don’t Give Up The Ship.” So, I have my marching orders for this week. Full steam ahead.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • I was making progress cleaning my office, till I looked at the floor.
  • Made more prints and uploaded hundreds of new shots to the photo site in the last two days. I’m feeling a sense of accomplishment.
  • I’m in need of a good night’s sleep and this is good sleeping weather.
  • Be smart, it saves a lot of aggravation.
