Life in the Bristolwood

No way. Popeye,  I am not.

Today, after feeding the Scotties and taking them outside,  I realized I had many more muscles in my body than I knew! AND, every single one of them was ACHING!!!!

Oh my goodness! I worked a little around the house this morning, then headed upstairs to soak for a bit in the tub.  I got out and got dressed, then thought perhaps I would lie down a few minutes.  I fell sound asleep!  I never sleep during the day!!!

I bought a Schwinn recumbent bike for exercise a couple weeks ago. It is set up in the living room and I have been faithful to hop on every day.  Well, IF I could have used my LEGS to cut that stump, I would have been fine! However,  I now have little aches and pains in my stomach, shoulders, arms, and back!  My legs….they feel terrific!

I told Mark there was no way I was going to be able to work that saw today.  He agreed!  He knows that I have always been a believer of “working through the pain”, but this goes beyond pain!  We went for a little ride this afternoon, and I thought I was going to die from the aching in my body.  Oh, and forget about coughing!

Well,  I did find that although that Nikon camera is a bit heavy,  I could manage to take a few photos today!

Tomorrow is another day! Hopefully, a little less pain-filled!!!
