Amongst the day’s weirdnesses will be the fact that my vid of the day will be appearing in part two of today’s blogging because I haven’t made it yet.
I was out of the house at the time. I could theoretically have made a video via my cell but I am still too shy and self-conscious to do that in public.
And speaking of my cell, here’s the stuff I wrote on the road :
Today’s exercises were way more ambitious than the previous time I was here. They were done with us standing and holding the back of our chairs. And that was fine. But then the exercises required letting go of the chairs and that’s where I met my doom because I cannot stand for very long. I held out for as long as I could but had no choice but to sit down before I fell down. Then I did the rest of the exercises sitting down while the old people stood.
That was humbling.
Oh well. It was still exercise outside on a gorgeous sunny summer day, so it’s all good.
And who knows, if I get enough exercise here , maybe I will be able to stand for longer.
Next up is physio, and I am dreading that because once more, I didn’t do the exercises and I am very embarrassed about that.
So I might just do something extremely uncharacteristic and just plain lie.
I dunno. My essentially honest nature might keep me from doing that. We’ll see.
After this then physio, wound care is going to seem like a spa vacation.
They need to invent a Xanax for crankiness.
Done at Physio. I have done a lot of exercise today and I still have wound care to do.
But I feel fine. My muscles are all warmed up and the weather is gorgeous and I feel good.
This fresh air and sunshine and exercise stuff really does work. Go figure.
Bit early for wound care so I type to you lovely people on my cell.
I installed Google Keep on my phone earlier so I can just one finger type away and when I get back home it will sync via our WiFi and then I will cut and paste all this text into my blog and voila, I am already somewhat done with blogging for thevday when I get home.
Now if only wasn’t so sleepy! I am clearly behind on my ZZZ and I could use a Diet Coke with full caffeine right about now.
My computer crashed while I was out so now I have to sit here while it reboots.
Oh well, at least I can still write.
Predictive text has come a long way since I had my tablet working. It is way more likely to suggest the word I want now. I think it must be taking in more of what I have written already.
It makes me wish I had it on my PC to be honest. I would blog SO FAST!
me while not at home
Holy crap, I wrote almost 500 words out on the road. Yay for me. That means part 1 of today’s writing is almost done already.
For the record, I did totally lie to my physio. Told her I had been doing the exercises three times a weak.
Like hell I have.
It’s so hard for me to modify my routine. Adding making a video a day to it was a major operation. And that’s something I more or less enjoy doing.
Adding exercise would be huge. Comparatively, going right back to doing my default thing of not doing that is way, way easier.
The easiest thing to do is always nothing. Therefore the path of least resistance is also to do nothing. And why it’s fatal to get addicted to doing whatever is easiest.
Anyway, odds are I will go right back to life as usual after today.
I am a terrible patient.
More after the break.
OK, before I post this, know that it turns out things are not as bad as I thought.
Big surprise, I overreacted.
I am still very glad I got these emotions out.
OK, let the games begin.
I crunched the numbers and my life should be largely unchanged except that I will never order in again except maybe once a month.
So that’s a bummer.
But other than that, I will be fine. I’ve just gone from $50/week over expenses to $20/week, and that does suck, but I will be OK.
If I want that damn power supply, I’m gonna have to find work.
And I shudder to think of what the next five week month will be like.
But I am about to find out because the next month IS a five week month. I just checked. Doesn’t that just fucking figure?
The moment the idea of a five week month entered my head, I knew I had to go check to see if life was, indeed, that cruel.
And of course it was.
So for the next 5 weeks I will be getting by on $135 per week, which is doable but my budget will have zero wiggle room.
In fact, I will have to find $5/week in savings.
Maybe I will skip one McD’s a week. I will hate not having the fun everyone else is having – I hate feeling left out.
But desperate times etc.
So yeah, got to find me some kind of online work. I will contact UpWork and see if I can get their arcane identification process done that way.
I’d prefer to use them because I know them and trust them. I am positive I can get work through them with my surprisingly robust ability to believe in my talents when there’s money on the line.
Guess I just need the right inspiration.
And the real deep down gut level inspiration of just being REALLY FUCKING BORED.
I need something meaningful to do, not just spinning my wheels like usual.
I want to DO STUFF GOD DAMN IT.
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
