kittydesadeCapoeira ran long. I ended up getting home at almost 9. Was so tired it took until about 10.15 for me to make and finish eating dinner, and then another 10-15 minutes to get my ass up to bed. I did take a couple Naproxen before I went to bed, woke up less stiff than I expected but going out for the morning Pokemon walk was fucking ow. My lower back I'm used to, my hips not so much. And I can't tell if it's not going away because I'm not sitting my dumb ass down and resting or because there's something going on there like arthritis, or what. It feels similar to the stabbing lower back pains, but I don't have any stretches for hips. May see if the doc does when I come in for my asthma follow-up. Or if he has a referral to a PT doc but then I have to pay monies. Ugh.
And the upshot of capoeira is holy shit the maintenance inhaler really does work, but now I have to deal with having had an upper limit to how strong I could get before due to my lungs. And now that limit isn't there anymore but the limit on my muscles is and I have to build those up some more. And clearly what I should have been doing is building up my muscles but I'm not sure I ever really thought my lungs would get better because... because. Disability is sometimes a head game even when it's not a head disability.
So it goes.
Writing is happening more. It would have been happening more yesterday except it was a capoeira day and I did not anticipate the whole get home and be almost unable to move off of the damn couch or even focus my eyes thing. Still, I think I'm getting into a routine with the Pokemon that allows me both to get exercise and get everything else done, so that's good. Plus the immediate gratification of the shiny is wearing off.
I don't even know what to think about the Republican party platform. Someone on Twitter in what looks like a viral tweet said they're basically Taliban, and they're not wrong. Hezbollah, Boko Haram, ISIS, take your pick. They're not representative of Christianity, they claim to be, they claim to want everyone to live by Christian rules, and in reality what they want is for everyone to live by their rules and hate and fear the Other. And yet this has become at least the most powerful aspect of one of our country's two political parties. It's more than a little horrifying. I'm clinging to the notion that while it's the most powerful aspect, it's not the most widespread. Maybe. I hope.
Work today has sent a flock of ducks to nibble me to death. Which is easier than it might otherwise be thanks to the aforementioned exhaustion. Still, though. After a month/six weeks of back and jaw pain and the various other ailments, I'm getting more used to dealing with it. Particularly when it's just temporary and will probably go away by tomorrow.
