Didn’t get near as much done this week as I’d hoped… |
|
Still no real relief with my back or right calve pain. I tried jogging on it twice this week. I got two miles done each time and then it bothered me the rest of the day. The drinking doesn’t seem to help. The inversion does, but there a limit to how much I can do and I can’t do it during the day while I’m in the office. |

Tomorrow is the finals for the World Cup. It’s Spain vs Netherlands. I hope the Dutch win, but I expect it will be Spain. They really do have a very impressive side. Germany defeated Uruguay for third place (3-2). |
|
Today I added two more song lyrics pages. The first is “I Am A Rock” written by Paul Simon. This is one of the earliest songs I remember memorizing. I remember being alone a lot and I guess memorizing a song about defensible aloneness made it seem like a choice. All I really remember was being very shy as a child. I’m not sure why. My family “remember” me as a bookworm, but not as particularly shy. |
|
The second song lyrics are from much later: “Like A Rock” written by Bob Seger. This is a song about youth and strength. I can remember both of those as well. There’s a great line that goes, “Twenty years now, Where’d they go?” I frequently ask myself that question these days. |
|
Since I haven’t been able to jog, I’ve started lifting again at work (in the gym). It feels good to tighten up and feel the start of getting big again. |
|
Another full eight hours of OT at work. I’m still behind from by being sick last week. Slowly, slowly I’m catching up… |
|
I tried to fix our leaky shower today when I got home. No joy. I ended up having to call a plumber ($220), but it’s worth it if it’s dripping money down the drain. Easy come, easy go. I watched him and learned a lot. I think I’ll be able to do it correctly next time. |
