I’ve been feeling under the weather. I did some calisthenics yesterday morning. Not as much as Wednesday, but enough to make me sore today. I’m still sore from Wednesday’s sit ups.
I was going to mow yesterday, but a storm blew in just in time to stop me. The clouds put on a show first, and then wind whipped up so fiercely that I worried for my shed. It looked like it was trying to inflate and take off, but it stayed in place.
I ended up having a good cry. And I thought about how I’ve been numbing myself with my phone when I feel stressed instead of just taking a few minutes to cry or yell or dance around a bit to vent. Today, I put that into practice. I listened to the meditation on self compassion during grief that my therapist got me on last year when I woke up. I listened to a sad song during a work break to grieve a bit. And I felt like I had a more productive day at work.
No mowing today because I had family zoom. And the wind kicked up again in the evening.
Yesterday during my release time over lunch I finally completed the last workout in the Shoulder Impingement program I’ve been doing. I’m going to start level 2 next. Maybe tomorrow or Sunday. I want to mow this weekend and hike. And I need to go shopping. I should get more milk, but that can probably wait next weekend.
I’m going to need to get my ladder out and trim some limbs from my trees before the winds decide to make projectiles of them. I mean, I know live limbs can break too, but I figure the dead ones are more likely to break.
All the photos are from the 28th.
