I had a hard time getting out of bed this morning. Didn’t manage it until after 7. Skipped showering and my morning walk. I’m going to blame the period for this one.
And then I saw that I’d missed the aurora, so that was disappointing. But there’s supposed to be some tonight as well. I can see a brightness to the north, but no colors either with the naked eye or my phone in night mode. Or my camera in night mode. I’ll check again before I go to sleep.
I’m trying to focus on working out my shoulder issue, and one of the Move U coaches suggested really working on the scooped position for the scapula, so I’m doing that. Putting that left scapula on high consciousness. I tied a scarf around my shoulders to try and keep it from being in a poor position, which seems to have helped. I also did shoulder focused exercises for today. I’ll still be moving forward with Back & Core level 3 week 3 tomorrow, but on days that I’m not doing those programmed exercises, it will be shoulders.
I had a good hot springs visit. A bit of socializing, a bit of reading, and some very nice hot water. On the way home, I saw a skunk on the bridge across the Weiser River, just scooting across on the side of the road. I wished I could have gotten a picture, but that would have been a bad place to stop. It was so big and fluffy!
I’m going to go outside and look north one more time before bed. Tomorrow I have an appointment to donate blood in Council. I really hope my blood has sufficient iron to allow a donation. I’ve been trying to eat well, and I’ll be taking a spoon of molasses in the morning. That was a recommendation last time I failed to qualify due to low iron. And I like molasses, so it’s not a hardship.
I watched part of an episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds during lunch. I started sobbing while I watched, not once, but twice. I’m not sure exactly why, but I know it has to do with Ambrose. He liked that show, too, and he never got to see the resolution of the cliffhanger the last season ended on. It’s just not fair.
