Getting Better All the Time
Aug. 15th, 2021 06:10 pmI am extremely happy to say that my back pain has withered down to just an occasional twitch if I sit the wrong way. Still not sure how the heck I injured it, unless it was stress from carrying heavy things or overextending muscles while stretching or twisting the wrong way. Either way, I suppose it's par for the course at my age. Not entirely happy about that, but what can you do?
On the plus side, I believe I've finally gotten my blood pressure down to a level that my doc would be happy with. Interestingly enough, I think it has had something to do with my lack of personal or emotional stress lately...I think I've finally escaped that high tension I've always felt about life's usual stressors. Come to think of it, I haven't really had many Stupid Stress Dreams lately, either. (I say stupid because most of them involve forgetting a bag on a bus or getting locked out of a building or getting sidetracked by someone else's dumbassery.)
I'm not feeling too stressed out about my writing either, come to think of it. I might still be neck deep in projects that need revision and better word count, but that's no longer worrying me, either. I've finally managed to see WIPs as actual Works In Progress instead of work deadlines. I definitely need to kick my own butt on some of the non-writing writing career work, but that's easy enough.
Still, I do have some other personal things that still need updating/changing/shifting/etc., but the good thing is that the road feels much clearer now for all that. Win!
