I had a bone-density exam yesterday and I'm awaiting the results. Long story short, I have an autoimmune condition and went through menopause at 34, so I'm a high risk for osteoporosis. Now that I'm 51, it's beyond time to get serious about it.

Related: I joined a gym this week. #ouch

The good news is that my daughter joined the gym with me and it's fun to go with another person, even though we mostly do our own stuff. But you know, moral support and all that.

Moonrise Over Reeds, George Grosz, 1936

woke up with a headache and this sort of registered with me.

I like the colors, which seem to be sort of violently clashing, painful almost. There are clashing styles, also, the reeds and other plants are painted carefully, the moon is round, then there are rougher textures, splatters, scratch marks, and like bloody oversaturated pools of color, swishing strokes meandering.

Doesn't look like an easy place to be in...

I’m accustomed to being generally stiff and sore following a day of fairly intense physical exertion. This morning feels mostly the same, but my right forearm is abusing the privilege. I noticed is was getting disproportionally sore in the evening, but had to keep going.

Today when I got out of bed it was sharply sore in a way to which I am not at all accustomed. Hoping I just tweaked it in an odd way yesterday and it will sort itself out soon. Until then, though, Tylenol is my friend. #Ouch

This past weekend I was camping with Scouts near Galena, IL. About 63 deg F for highs and 40 deg F for lows overnight. I did not think it was possible to have such perfect weather for camping in April but we pretty much had it. It's too early for the majority of annoying bugs as well. We spent most of Saturday away from camp and I forgot my sunscreen back in my tent, so the top of my head has a little sunburn. #ouch #camping #scouts #galena #ilwx

Another Day

Up and at ’em. Back at it. Repetition and all that. Deja-Vu. As Iron Maiden once said, “feel like I’ve been here before.” Probably because I was here before. Yesterday, in fact. Today is another day in the office. Celebrate with a cat pic:

Roar.

I’m tired. I went to bed earlier than usual last night but it doesn’t seem to have been enough. Maybe it’s just mental fatigue induced by driving for an hour to get to work. Who knows. Maybe it’s just mental fatigue induced by the collapse of american society. What used to be our country sucks a little more with each passing day and maybe it’s just wearing me out. Could be.

We’ve reached the point in the week where I start looking longingly toward the weekend. I can’t do a band practice on Sunday so I threw out the idea of doing Saturday instead. It’s still up in the air. I want to do some sunrise/ocean photos too but the weather forecast calls for shitty with a chance of shitty on Saturday. Sunday looks okay. Will it be okay at sunrise? Too soon to speculate.

Shit. I feel like I need a new hobby. I don’t want a new hobby, I just feel like I need one. Man, simple things get confusing when you reach old age (see yesterday’s post for more. Yes, I know I have not reached old age yet) and your country flushes itself down the crapper. All I really want to do is curl up in a ball on the couch and wait for it all to finish crushing me. You know how it is, right?

Sunday is out for band practice because I have to go to a wake. My cousin’s husband passed suddenly last week. I think that might be part of the reason for the funk I’m in right now. I also have a medical procedure on the books for Tuesday and I think I have to start prepping for it a couple of days in advance. I won’t say what it is. It’s not a procedure really, it’s just a test. Let’s say it’s one of those tests that people in their 50’s need to have and it involves completely clearing out your digestive system. Nudge nudge, wink wink. Are you digging where I’m coming from? Are you picking up what I am putting down? Ouch town, population me, bro. Maybe that’s another source of funk-feeling. Not funk in a good sense. Not funk in a George Clinton sense. Funk in a… blahhhhh sense. You get it.

Okay. Time to get cracking on the work day. Two meetings on the books. Both require some prep work. Get to it, Red Head!
