Leave a few comments, check my comments from yesterday for replies<br \/>9:10 check Freecycle for messages to moderate (none so far&#8211;slow day)<br \/>9:20 stretch shoulder and gingerly massage huge knot.  Wonder if exercise would be a good or a bad thing.<br \/>9:30 contemplate shower<br \/>9:39 head to shower, interrupted as John chides me for not having my W-2 yet.  He&#8217;s working on taxes already and has his info.  Sigh.<br \/>9:41 heading to shower again<br \/>9:53 John joins me in shower to rub the knot in my back.  I giggle when I look down and see that he has a pair of underpants stuck to his foot<br \/>10:00 blow drying, contemplating what to wear<br \/>Thoughts:<br \/><span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Had planned on <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">not<\/span> wearing leg today due to sores.  Can&#8217;t imagine a day on crutches with sore shoulder.  Weigh my options.  Crawl under covers and read a few chapters of  my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26tag%3Dmozilla-20%26index%3Dblended%26link%255Fcode%3Dqs%26field-keywords%3DClaire%2520Messud%26sourceid%3DMozilla-search&#038;tag=pilgrimgirl-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325\">latest book<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=pilgrimgirl-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>.  Hurts to hold book and read.  Lie still and send yoga energy to shoulder.  Debate whether to use BenGay or Tiger Balm on shoulder.  Decide on the latter as I remember (fondly) buying Tiger Balm in China from the boat captain as we cruised the <a href=\"http:\/\/pilgrimgirl.blogspot.com\/2005\/11\/shuzou-canals.html\">canals of Suzhou<\/a>.<\/span><br \/>11:02 Get dressed, deciding to wear leg<br \/>11:18 Check email, blogs, post youtube clip from Mom on soloblog.  Eat granola cereal in favorite green bowl.<br \/>11:43 CatGirl shares a TicTac with me that&#8217;s supposed to be some kind of lemon mint. Tastes like floor polish.<br \/>11:47 heading to kitchen for more motrin<br \/>11:53 stretch and relax and yoga.  For shoulder.  But leg hurts too much to relax.<br \/>12:32 decide that leg is far too painful, take it off, get into bed<br \/>12:33 nibble a corner off of a muscle relaxant pill.  Hoping that it can take the edge off of shoulder pain w\/o making me drowsy<br \/>12:35 GamBoy brings me a sandwich in bed.  Tuna sandwich with four large spear pickles.  He knows I like my pickles.  The bread so pickle soggy that I am licking it off my fingers.  Drift off into pickly-happy drug-induced sleep.<br \/>4:28 wake to horrible pounding noise.  Pound pound pound crash.  Realize it is coming from the front door.  Get scared.  Can&#8217;t move body.  Start moaning.  <br \/>GameBoy emerges from the back bedroom, I mumble for him to check the noise.  John and Catgirl are there at the door, having returned from errands w\/o keys.  They bring in groceries as I try to return life to my sodden limbs.<br \/>4:33 check email and write on blog.  Typing not easy with flailing sausage fingers.  Hungry, but not sure if I can chew.  <br \/>I am one with the couch pillows.  TobyJoy is pacing back and forth on the coffee table.  Looking at me.<br \/>4:43 Head to kitchen for more motrin.  Afternoon tea.<br \/>4:45-8 Reading and more yoga.  Stretching on my fitball to open up my tight shoulders<br \/>8:03 John makes pizza dinner.  Yum.  Especially the mushrooms&#8230;mushrooms=tasty.  I make an attempt at burping the national anthem, but don&#8217;t make it past the first line (I blame muscle relaxant).  GameBoy composes spontaneous satirical version of said anthem.  CatGirl reads at table.<br \/>8:20 checking email, google reader, freecycle queue, petting Tobykitty<br \/>9:44 will take more motrin, then head to the bedroom where I will watch a bit of a movie, read, and go to sleep<\/p>\n<p>What was your day like?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>8:30 Wake to John snapping pics of me as I&#8217;m sleeping.
