Went to work, took the cane in but didn't use it once - very smooth comfortable gait!
just a few small twinges toward the end of the day.
Off to the Chiropractor - he helped get my knee straightened out a bit, and adjusted my neck and ribs making my sore and cranky shoulders much better!
At the end of the appointment, he said, "Well - you just call me when you need me! You're doing great!"
I love hearing that! Stopped at the grocery store - no cane. strolled around the store feeling wonderful - got a few treats (Chinese food, Ice cream, some GF brownies - I'm not eating a lot of junk these days, but I was feeling VERY celebratory! Perhaps crab or lobster would have served me better, but brownies and Ice cream (which will last me for ages) it was!
I got very grumpy looks for parking in the disabled spot from an older man with a cane who parked next to me. Apparently an extra car length was not ok with him. To be fair - I remember when every singe step was like a mile of pain. But I still feel that wasting steps in the parking lot is not helpful. Soon enough I will begin to park further and further away, and revel in the journey! But he was grumpy at me. And I almost want to yank down my trousers and show him my matching 8 inch scars. Well, I REALLY wanted to. But I didn't.
Off to rehearsal - we were moved upstairs, and that was OK. It was going well - I have four songs we hadn't really touched on, plus two small pieces... got several of them on tape... and then... we kept false-starting a particular song, and I went to delete one of the false start recordings... and I HIT THE "DELETE TODAY'S RECORDINGS" instead.
A lot of hard and very valuable work - PFFFT!
Pardon my french, but MERDE!!!!!!!!! I was so so upset. We tried to get them again, but I was too fried. I m losing a week of work with those tapes. and I'm pissed.
I don't like April Fool's Day pranks, and pranking myself inadvertently was ust fat stupid. Grrrrr....
So I am going to go eat a brownie and some damn ice cream. And maybe some leftover chinese food. And I'm not even hungry, (NOTE - this is a very rare thing, I am NOT a binge eater, and I don't eat my feelings, and i rarely et sugary sweets. Just FYI).
*sigh*,
Must remember that th majority of the day was about feelign GREAT, and it being kind of a big sea-change Big Steps day!
'night
