Title: DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING AROUND HERE?!
Post by: AugustWest on February 06, 2013, 08:35:26 pm
Happy Birthday, JL.  If it weren't for you none of this would have happened.  We love you.

If it weren't for you none of this would have happened.

That is not usually a good thing, but I'll take it in this context.

Today I went to the physical therapist to remind myself that I am getting old and falling apart. I've got persistent, bi-lateral pain in the scapula probably caused by a compressed disc in the spinal cervix. Which Doc will tell you means "your shoulders hurt because you slouch." The prescription is 60 seconds of stretching every hour for the next couple of weeks, then stretches a few times a day to prevent a relapse for pretty much ever. And, of course, I have to learn better posture. "Tits out, girls!"

Also, I had a positively indulgent brunch with my mom: a lobster and brie omelette drizzled with champagne butter at a local brunch-and-lunch place. It was luxurious.

And the big box of K-cups I ordered for my Keurig arrived today, so I am all set for spring with iced tea, iced coffee and lemonade. Yum.

Pedro took the day off to watch the kids so I could do whatever I wanted today, so it's been relaxing. Tonight, his parents are watching the kids so we can go get the couple's massage that didn't happen a few weeks ago, and then we're going out to dinner anywhere I want. I think I'm gonna request sushi.

And nobody tried to throw me a surprise party this year, either. So all in all, it's turning out to be a grand day.

Tomorrow, project JL-34 begins, wherein I pursue all those goals and resolutions I didn't quite make it around to starting yet. I took some time and wrote them out last night (with starting steps) so I'm all prepared and everything. When I take my goals as a whole, though, it seems like if (when?) I succeed, the net effect will be to make me younger. Fewer worries, more time, more disposable income, better health -- these are the things we associate with single people in their twenties, not thirties-with-kids-and-mortgage types. But I suppose that's what makes youth so appealing -- if we could all go back ten years and do things over with the wisdom and experience we have today, who wouldn't jump at that chance?

Thanks for indulging my annual pontification. Now I have to go take my physical therapist-mandated stretch break...

I have been indulging in tits-out stretches for a while now, and can confirm both reduced pain and positive attention from the opposite sex. Apparently girls like tall guys, not slouching guys.

Lately I am definitely living a life I can imagine myself missing, years from now. But if it means anything, I hope I'm doing what you're doing in 10 years. Loving spouse and kids sounds like winning the prize.

If you want to feel 24 again, I am here to provide birthday spankings, any time.
Or, if you'd prefer, I can perform them on a surrogate sometime soon...

Happy birthday, lady.

Happy day beautiful lady.

For your birthday I give you a photo of your family. Sorry it's so crappy. I have a much better camera now.

LOL, Danger Boy looks totally gangster in that pic.

Thanks guys, especially for your kind offer, Inev. I'm off to get my birthday spankings right now actually, I think it'll do the job of making me feel ten years younger tonight, but probably ten years older tomorrow.

Stand up straight, shoulders back, shoulder blades dropped down the back.  Feet hip distance apart and parallel. 

Breathe, motherfuckers.  Breathe.
