Made my decision for me, Sick of the limp, An assist

You will recall earlier in the week I met with a rep from a solar leasing company and spent a couple hours talking to him about the benefits of leasing a solar system for my house. I did not commit at that time but the rep said he would call me back on Wednesday to see if I wanted to proceed. I had thought about it and was going to make a counter offer and if it was accepted I was going to agree to move forward. Well, that follow up call never came.

I was somewhat surprised by this but I am not sure why he let it drop. Perhaps the number he offered me at the end turned out to be incorrect or maybe he just thought I wasn’t going to buy. Whatever the reason for his lack of follow up, he made the decision for me and I will keep rolling along as is.

I am now closing in on a month of dealing with ITB syndrome where the IT band in my right leg causes pain down the entire side of the leg as well as the right knee. I have been trying to roll, massage and do movements to relieve the pain and nothing has been significantly successful. The next logical answer would be to shelve playing pickleball for a little while as it clearly aggravates the injury. The option sounds very bad to me of course. I have dealt with IT band issues before and got past them eventually. I need to find the way there again, soon.

Because I had such poor sleep Wednesday night I decided to call in an assist from an edible to try to get some semblance of restful sleep. It was more or less successful but I still feel like my sleep deficit hole was dug out by a backhoe.

This weekend I may bite the bullet and put up the Christmas tree, despite a clear lack of anything resembling Christmas spirit in my world. Maybe just having the tree up will help change that but I am not very confident it will move the dial much. My holiday season last year was so f’d up that it’s going to be hard to keep that flushed from my brain. Oh well, it’s all part of the process, I guess.
