A reversal, No remedy

My shoulder pain meant no running this weekend, bouncing up and down would have been highly problematic.  Starting Friday I began taking some of Cindy’s CBD which has a number of benefits, including pain management.  Over the weekend I made consistent improvement.  By Sunday afternoon I was able to slowly lift my right arm above my head under it’s own power, an impossibility 48 hours prior.  I was excited to be on the road to recovery.  However last night during sleep I noticed more pain returning and by the time I rolled out of bed this morning it felt like I was almost back to my starting point on Friday.  Yes, I’m frustrated.

The weather this weekend was mostly overcast and dark.  The good news out of this was we did at least score some much needed rain.  I kept busy a good portion of Saturday, even with a bum shoulder.  I bought all new brushed nickel handles for all of the interior doors. (well all but one that I forgot about)  The old fashioned brass door knobs looked dated.  I have had a handle style lever on the door from the garage for a couple years.  I always intended to do the rest, now it’s finally done.  Maybe it was wishful thinking but the new anti-microbial handles felt like they freshened up the look of things.

Deb came over again on Saturday afternoon.  I donated my remaining AnyCubic I3 Mega printer to her, after donating my other one to Katie a couple weeks prior.  We again had a fun time hanging out.  One of the highlights for the girls was making fun of my famous “party shirt” which was bought somewhere in the late 80’s/early 90’s time period.

This shirt is obviously bizarre with it’s mismatched breast pockets, capri length sleeves, and short cut that exposes your waist with the slightest lean.  However I used to think the shirt was cool, way cool.  It was the shirt I wore on my first date with Ali way back when.  Yes I realize now the shirt is silly yet I will keep it forever due to the imagined magical powers I once thought it had. The girls laughed their ass off at my party shirt modeling session and I didn’t mind.

I have begun printing the parts for my new adjustable EUC stand.  I put the prototype together and have one of my wheels on it currently.  It seems solid, despite having the ability to adjust to different widths.  It will be interesting to see how it plays out once I list it on the store.  A customer will have the ability to buy one stand that should fit almost any EUC out there.  Of course I plan to charge more for these stands as they require more prep and hardware than any previous models.

Sunday was extremely drab and dreary.  I didn’t even get out on a PEV to ride.  Sure I kept busy somewhat but I played a bunch of WoW and even laid down to watch Captain America Civil War again during the day, which is a rarity.  I just was not feeling very high on life.

I have talked once or twice on here about regret that I had regarding how I used to use the blog during my second marriage as a podium to express my displeasure with certain things that came up in our relationship.  Regardless of if my feelings were justified or not, putting them out there in the blog for the world to digest was unfair as it only allows for a single side of a dual sided conflict.

Ironically the time I decided to stop doing that was pretty close to the time that we separated.  To be clear, I don’t think posting or not posting to blog would have made a difference in the end result, I just don’t think it was the right thing to do. Over the years there are times where I resist the urge to put down in words various personal thoughts that run through my head as I remain steadfast to the desire to not be a one way street with two way traffic.   Yea it may be fun for readers to get a peek behind the curtain but in the big picture there is no fun to be had with the end result.
