Struggles Are Real

I feel like crap. My right foot (the one I broke in 2016) has been causing me lots of pain the last few months. My knees have been hurting quite a bit and the other day at work on a walk, the right knee started clicking!

But I want to practice agility. And I want to move equipment around! But I hurt, so I don’t want to actually do that.

The struggle is hard. My brain wants to do things but my body says rest. If I do the things, then I hurt.

Oh and the house needs cleaned. At least upstairs. Which means more pain from kneeling to scrub the tub and bending to scrub the sinks. So how do I manage the balance of things that I want to do versus what I need to do and how much pain they will cause me?

Today I am resting. Kind of. I slept till 11 (called in sick) and will do the house stuff in spurts today. I plan to do some agility tonight when it is cooler.

Stuff and stuff

So been kinda in a slump again. I have things I want to do and get done but feel like I can’t ever get the time or energy.

Or my body tells me to take it easy.

My foot has been bothering me this week. Today was pretty good but yesterday it really hurt. Just sitting at my desk at work and it would ache or throb. When walking sometimes a shooting pain in the side of my foot. Then went I got home my foot felt numb! Like it had been asleep and was waking up. I go to a foot doc on Monday so we shall see what they say.

Just need a training plan or something. Some kind of thing to get me out of my head and back into life.

Down in the Dumps

I have been really prone to sadness lately.

Kris’ grandpa Bob passed away the end of January.

Mrs G, my girl scout canoeing coach passed away this past Saturday.

Ted’s mother passed away this past weekend as well.

A friend’s digs were poisoned by rat poison somehow. They are doing ok so far.

Another friend’s dog had to have emergency spay surgery from pyometra. She should have been 4 weeks pregnant. 🙁

And another friend’s dog was just diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.

Add on top of all the close personal losses, is the whole issue with mass shootings going on in schools and the lack fo the damn government to do anything about it.

I took a sick day today because of headaches and just plain can’t adult anymore. I have found myself getting surly again so a day off was needed. I slept till 10. I did some bills. I took a nap. We played outside a bit.

I hope I start feeling better soon.

Pain Pain Go Away

First time in a long time that my back has hurt this much. Tonight in agility class it was tough to get out of the chair.

And my ankle hurts. Which makes my foot ache. Or maybe its the aching foot making the ankle sore. And my sciatica acted up briefly, but thankfully only briefly. It was almost as if it was a bit stuck or something.

Anyway, been super stressed out at work and other personal stuff. None of which would help for sure.

Bought a new SUV last Friday. 2017 GMC Acadia Limited. Tomorrow my cargo mats should arrive and then I can move the stuff in the van over.

So much going on, so little down time.
