Checked off, It’s deep

Last night I finished up my Christmas card work for 2025. In total I mailed out a little less than 30 cards. The funny thing is out of those 30 I send out I doubt I will get even half of that in return. I don’t really care about the inequity as the season is all about giving, not receiving. It felt good to complete the task. It feels equally good to have the vast majority of my Christmas related responsibilities wrapped up two weeks prior to the big day.

As I mentioned on Monday the deep aching pain in my right leg has not dissipated. It’s a weird injury though as I was able to do a full lower body weighted workout yesterday without major issue. My knee is not swollen, I still have normal range of motion. The pain drifts around from my right hip, down my quad and currently into the left side of my knee. Ironically the worst pain is when I am lying down. When sleeping the only position that works is on my back with a pillow under my legs. If I try to roll onto either side the aching in my knee intensifies to the point where it will wake me up. I am hoping that like many ailments/injuries of mine, this will simply go away. It has already taken me off my regularly scheduled pickleball session for today which I am not happy about, at all.
