BITING MY LIP
Tuesday, Dec. 14, 2021 10:15 PM
So here's the deal! I've had screaming lower back pain that just won't quit. I pretty much get out of bed in the morning, smear on the A535 ointment & take 2 Xtra strength Tylenol. If I don't, I can't really do anything that requires standing or walking. I know some of you are nodding your heads, understanding exactly how that feels. So the daily walking has not come about. If I do anything around the house, especially cooking/baking, or a trip to the store, it's enough to do me in for the day. I'm calling my doctor tomorrow. Not looking for a quick cure, but at least some relief so I can function over the next two weeks in a reasonable way.
OK, 'stuff' is happening and getting the upper hand, despite my efforts to ignore it. To 'Bite one's lip!" is an idiom for: Forcing yourself not to express the negative emotions you're feeling. Which for this blog, may be considered a lie of omission, as I promised to be honest in my sharing!
Oh, and that advice about claiming the slabs of fat that have found a home in my cheeks, neck & belly, as my battle scars, to be worn proudly???? Not happening! For one who has been on a diet since I was 10 years old, and not particularly enjoying the way I looked (at times) in photos,,, extra 'chubby' is not something that's not a big deal for me. I felt good when I lost 30 pounds a couple of years ago. Well, guess what? Its back, plus! Really struggling with the 'power of positive thinking' on this one.
I heard this said once: "I'm tired of this day! I'll go to bed now and have a brand new one tomorrow!"
So here we are! Rough sailing today! Looking forward to a calmer sea tomorrow. Crappy days aren't usually consecutive for me. I'll be sure to send you a real smile next time! I might even show you my itty bitty new hair!
Hope your crappy days are short, few & far between! God bless you. xooo
