2/11/09 - Thank Goodness for the Water Landing..

As I sit and watch David Letterman and the crew from the plane that landed in the Hudson River I am happy for them and everyone that made it through OK. I am glad I have not had to go through such an experience. However, I have been hit by a car, I have knocked myself unconscious flying through the air into a concrete wall, I have hurt my knee learning to skate and have caught the flu more than once. There is always something that can happen. I think I have done good to minimize the bad occurrences but something new can always surprise you.

I have decided that I need to make sure to take my vitamins and stretch everyday. These spasms due to whatever they are due to is getting on my nerves. I am too young to be acting arthritic but I will be sure to ask when I go to my doctor for the checkup. Maybe it's because my schedule is so out of tune that my body is out of tune as well. As much as I try to keep a schedule I can't seem to get to sleep when I want to nor can I get everything I want to have done when I need it. Thank goodness for more time and chances for do overs. Of course that does not last forever.

Back spasms and bum knees (both of them) I might as well be pushing 70. I know I have put on the front of invulnerability and miles of strength for world to see but my energy and the reserves that I have to help everyone are being stretched (like my back) and I wish everyone did not have so many problems to deal with. We all have our share and we have the choice when faced with the trial to meet it head on or hide in the corner. I don't want to hide cause I want to see what happens next. I hate not knowing what happens. I want to be there, I want to set it off, I want to dance in the middle of the floor and act like I don't ever want to go home. I want to run down the streets and people not think I robbed someone. I want to remember If I forgot something and not have to spend unnecessary funds to make it right.

The world changes so fast and I want to be there to take pictures.

Last weekend was great, I celebrated on Saturday Night with the guys and rested on Sunday and had a visit from Maurice where we discussed summer plans and music and upcoming events. Russ made sure late lunch of brick oven pizza was picked up and and was well and good.

Over the weekend till now I did not do any further damage to myself and I am recovering from my flu symptoms nicely.. I would say I am at 80-85% of my normal output and capabilities right now except for residual coughing (post nasal drip damn you to hell) and the need to keep my spine supported properly while moving around, cleaning, and making sure what needs to be done gets done. I missed the gym today but will definitely shoot for tomorrow.

I need to wake up and have these issues handled. I guess one can only hope.

Thanks to Thursday Night and Saturday Night at
Gym
