Just returned from my chilly Arizona winter vacation. And, as it was last year, winter here shows absolutely no sign of letting up. Terrible blizzard last weekend and temps all less than ten degrees as far as I can see the forecast.
Blue yummy, the little Vibe that served our family well for many years has been totaled by a damn deer. As I write, the sad little car sits in the driveway awaiting the flatbed that will take it away. That's hard to take. It's only the front left quarter of the poor thing that is ruined, but the repairs will cost more than it is worth (on the market, although, for some reason, it is worth MORE to me)
The dogs, especially Camo, are going stir crazy in the house. Why in the hell I decided to take him on, I will NEVER know. Don;t really love that dog. I have decided that dogs with liver noses, lips, eyeliner, etc. are just plain crazy. And those amber/yellow eyes. ew. He thinks it will be grand to chase cars and now I need to try somehow to nip that bad habit in the bud.
AND I hate my job.
It's not looking good.
nope.
Give me springtime.
please

You've been doing it wrong....
Ok. Really? I just need to get this out of my head and putting it on "paper" seems to help.
I have been battling back pain for a couple years. I may have written about it. In my last ditch effort, before I just give up, I went to a PT who is a Postural Restoration practitioner.
Sounds like the ticket, doesn't it?
Not so much. Strange, subtle exercises designed to wake up my left hamstring the outside right hip. On and on. Practiced these exercises everyday for about 7 weeks with no discernible difference.
I asked her and she says I may expect results in 3 months. THREE MONTHS? Please. Then she added more triceps exercises.
The concept seems to be that I am floppy and too loose. "Hanging by my ligments" and not using my muscles to support myself actively. How in the hell can I change this? I am standing wrong....sitting wrong....everything.
Today, I give up. I am going to forge my own path. I am going to start my own strengthening program and with any luck will be soon be able to be back on track.
Three different massage therapists.
Three different physical therapists.
Three different chiropractors.
FOUR different pain relievers....vitamin I (ibuprofen), naproxen, aspirin, Tylenol.
This is up to me from here on out! AND the Thermotex infrared heating pad twice a day.
I've got this!
