hello 2018
Sunday, January 07, 2018
I had a whole entire different post ready for this 2018 blog entry. It was filled with my goals for Reno’s and tons of health related fitness activities getting my food back on track and all the things I wanted to do with the kids this summer. But mainly if I’m being honest it was me focussing on how I needed to lose the 30 some odd pounds I gained- in a quick way. I was going to talk about 80 day obsession starting on January 15. How excited I was about Zumba starting again or rather me going back to Zumba again after last two months of me working crazy hours due to the faculty strike.
Basically just you know me getting back on track. I had the entire post written and actually forgot to post it. Why you ask? Because last week was very crazy. Because it’s my first week back to work after the holidays and just a ton of running around. Then our toilet broke on the main level and our hot water tank stopped working on top of that. I actually joked to somebody at work that I was waiting for the third thing to happen since bad things happen in threes.
Well that third thing happened on Saturday. I just got out of the shower and finished blow drying my hair ,getting ready for a photo shoot - first one of 2018. I thought to myself I should probably go start my car since it’s -40 out. So I went downstairs and my slippers were sitting beside my snowboots and to save time I put on my slippers. So I went to go start my car because my remote car starter wasn’t working and I made it one step and slipped and landed and jammed all of my weight into my wrist on my left hand. It was all in slow motion --as I was going ass over teakettle I remember thinking oh this is going to suck when I’m shooting today with a sore ass and then I heard the crunch of my wrist. And adrenaline kicked in and got me back into my house sobbing like a lunatic having to call Nick to come and pick me up and also call tanya to let her know that I wouldn’t be shooting that session with her. Long story short (actually that’s pretty long already) but it was even longer broke my wrist and I can’t do shit all. I’m not a person that can lay around all day even though I joke that it sounds like heaven. I’m a person that can’t even sit through an entire movie without getting up to clean something or do laundry or check my email or check my work email or check every actor in the movie that I’m watching on IMDb from my phone. Currently I can’t do dishes I can’t do laundry I can’t lift a pot of water I can’t undo a Ziploc bag or haven’t figured out how to yet because I’m in excruciating pain. I’m not even typing this I’m speaking into my phone and praying that it understands me.
So new goal - just breathe. take care of me, me kind to myself - I cannot control everything.
on that note - what shows should I watch?

Sending you a big Deena hug. Wish I was closer to take care of you.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a speedy recovery. I just started pretty little liars (I know, behind much!) and I've watched 8 episodes since Friday.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm SO sorry about your wrist but flipping your attitude around is so inspiring. I love your new goal :) And if you get any recommendations for sitcoms, please pass them along to me. I need something funny to watch!
ReplyDeleteAwww, so sad! That being said on Saturday, the same one you fell. I feel so hard too. Imagine a cartoon and a banana peel, falling hard on your butt and hands, yep, that was me, expect it wasn't a banana peel it was a hover board and I was doing something I knew probably wouldn't work. So now both of my hands are so bruised I couldn't use them for 2 days, Luckily they are getting better, but like you said, have to be thankful I didn't break both wrists and that I have a big cushiony butt that saved my fall, else I would have had a broken tailbone had I landed on it, luckily I shifted slightly left...okay that was probably TMI, anyway, feel better lady! Hopefully the surgery goes well and you can start your healing process!
ReplyDeleteHope your surgery went well and you'll be all healed up soon!
