Well, I woke up this morning after half decent sleep actually was a decent sleep. I got up talk to Mary for a while. I already decided not to go to yoga today cause to let my shoulder heal. I went to Mike’s and the nurse came
over and his high blood pressure was a little bit high, but he was all right. I then did a little bit of cleaning and then ended up going to sports massage with Dylan Massage. His approach is a little bit different. He wasn’t quite as hard as
the previous guy had and and he suggested that go Group chiropractor perhaps for about my vertebrae it might the vertebrae might be pinching the nerve possibly. I felt a little bit better, but I could
tell that it wasn’t gonna go away right away and then went back to Mike’s put away his mom‘s Meals had some lunch and then headed off to Mary’s to do some relaxation exercises and to pick up some laundry. well, I got the laundry and Mary had the room all set up with the blocks and the blanket for me to do two relaxation poses to get my muscles to relax. It felt pretty good, but my muscles are still pretty tense. There’s just bullshit going on with my back. Mary got home around 6:05 PM and we hung out and talked. We then had these bowls that were easy to cook. We just microwaved them and eat them. It was perfect because I wanted some food to get the chill out of me so I put on lung pants and I put on a long sleeve shirt along with my sweat jacket I think I’m fighting off a cold, but I’m not sure or could just be the stress of my body rebelling on my right shoulder rotator cuff and scapula. I’m now heading to theCODA meeting which I missed yesterday. I’m on the computer.

Thursday, August 28: Massage for Shoulder. No Yoga.

Wednesday, August 27: Shoulder issues, feels like fall
Well, last night I did sleep and I slept sound like which was really really a relief. This is however I did not mean that my shoulders feeling any better in fact I feel like I’ve regressed with my shoulder. I don’t know what happened
so we’ll see what happens there. Anyway, back to Mike I ended up getting prescription for him and then I also went to Mary’s to pick up my charging cord and charge my phone. I did attempt to take
a nap but it was a little too cool for my shoulders so I skipped that idea. There was another mass shooting in Minnesota today this time at a Catholic school. We don’t do shit about gun control. We’re not even close to getting it cause
we can’t even get it when Democrats have control and the way things are going we may never have control again if Trump and his minions have their way.Back to my shoulder keeping it covered does help a lot. I called my doctor about being
seen again. It’s a good thing. I have physical therapy starting on Friday at the McGee rehab so that should be helpful. I think I’ll be skipping the 530 class and going straight to the end. Might be the
wise move. Then again the heat really does give me some relief. Stiffness is one thing with pain to hold another animal. Gonna hang out at Mary‘s and relax for a minute before making a final
decision on that. Well, it was very obvious that I should skip class so I skipped Yoga and went to Yin and while I was at Yin my shoulder kicked up again and I decided right then and there
that I would take the rest of the month of August off from Yoga and hope and pray that that rehab will help and that it’ll subside a little bit. Fucking sucks! Anyway, in was really good and
I enjoyed that.

Tuesday, August 26: Mild w/Stiffness
Good day everybody I woke up this morning a little earlier than I wanted to because my back was really stiff from yesterday‘s situation. When I just woke up yesterday and suddenly had a really stiff shoulder I didn’t really
do anything overdone but anyway enough of that, I cope with it and got up and did my thing. Got the Mike’s the nurse came by Wasn’t the regular nurse Nicole‘s this African-American woman who just has the attitude like let
me in here and let me to get the hell out. It went OK though. Overall, some pretty quiet at Mike. He measured himself with his heart measuring machine by himself before I show up, which is cool.
He did manage to walk three times so far today it’s not 1:36 PM. I decided I’d go out and take an extended walk And sit outside because it’s a perfect day to be outside. You know it’s a tad cool but it’s a kind of weather. You can wear long
pants or short pants. We’re hitting that season where the weather is pretty good. No moves on the septic funding at all Trump‘s being an asshole and threatening people and trying
to fire someone on the Federal Reserve see a black woman. People are talking about him dying, but I think that’s all wishful thinking. That’s what that is. Well, I took a walk while Mike was
out sleeping and it was a glorious day to take a little walk. It was good. I’m pretty tired right now. I was gonna take a nap and then suddenly Tony showed up the physical therapist so we took
a walk and Mike actually turned the corner and walked a little further than he had. It’s the best kind of day to walk. It’s not hot. It’s not cold. It’s now 3:16 PM. It’s a heck of a day. Anyhow, Tony’s
really good and he’ll be back on Thursday. I kind of wish I’d been able to take that nap that I had planned on. 3:40 PM I just logged in for Tina‘s class and I’m walking up Lombard Street.
I actually wore my sweatshirt it’s actuallymore convenient to wear it than try to stuff it or wear it around my waist. anywhere I wore my coat and went to the 4 PM class with Tina. She asked me how my shoulder was doing
and and I said yeah, I had some serious stiffness and she said to be careful and I ended up modifying various moves, especially after the first three poses, which were tougher
than normal for me today. But after modifications, I made it through the class all right right now the back feels OK but it is daytime and I’m just going to
hope I can sleep through it right now at 6 o’clock we’re gonna go to a meeting that starts at 7 PM. well, I went to the meeting. It was less attended than the week before. It was a pretty good meeting. Then Mary and I went back and made us self some veggie burgers, which are pretty tasty. I must say it tastes really good. Meanwhile, the Phillies were losing against the Mets against 6 to 5 and we watched the Law and order. That was really really good. Didn’t wanna watch another one because I wanted to make sure I got enough sleep….

Monday, August 25: Stiff Shoulder
Hello there earthlings I’m back for another week of fun and frivolity while working with Mike. Anyhow, I woke up and Millbourne and I must’ve slept funny cause my right shoulder was
really stiff. The most stiff it’s been in a long time. I could I could not ignore the stiffness so I had to schedule a massage And it did provide me with some relief. I did some stuff at Mike’s. I’picked
up some Rubbermaid’s Mary didn’t need and also picked up the bag of my yoga clothes. I got to talk with Mary a little bit. Let her know about my really stiff shoulder. I’m definitely gonna take
it a little slow in class today because the right shoulders really started to act up. need to rest for the 30 day challenge in my backpack is awfully full these days I don’t know. Anyway,
it’s now 3:44 PM. I’m heading towards Byron‘s 4 o’clock class. It’s very nice out. Very mild not too humid. Not too hot. Today’s the second day of the scheduled septic cut in. There’s
no negotiations over state budget at all. You know these people and politics supposed to get done for the people they represent and they just don’t do it. They just political posture, especially
the Republicans. Anyhow, have a meeting tonight. Heard from Wes. I haven’t hung out or talked to him in quite some time. He suggested I started a YouTube channel and make money. Certainly
nobody’s watching this blog that much so might be an idea but it sounds like it’s gonna be a shit ton of work to even get something started. When was the Byron‘s class and I was somewhat hesitant
when I started but once I warmed up, I felt OK not superduper but good enough for the body that I had today. I had to go in the front which I don’t like to do so much, but I got over myself and just went there and got through the class. I
was really thirsty and really had quite the workout. It’s now 6:08 PM. I’m just watering myself and catching up on this blog posting and some text messages. well, Mary and I hung out for a little
while at the studio. We decided we would leave with our samosas and head back to her place. On the way back I spotted conservative Lawyer and calmness Christine Flowers walking by. Mary and I then looked at the new app for Hot Yoga which is Mindbody , Mary tried to use it and it didn’t work. You couldn’t sign up for the class and there was no record of paying for our trip to Mexico or our payment plan. So we both agree it would be best not to use it until the other one stops working and then we can get help from Tina or Byron to assist with any glitches. They’ve been very helpful!. Phillies were leading three nothing against the Mets and then Christopher Sanchez had a bark in the hole his whole pitching performance collapse we’re losing 43 and then became a blowout and they scored like 13 runs. Instead, we watched Law order two episodes, which was really good!
