I’m Whining
Can you say OUCH!? After the doctor got done cranking on my arm in every direction feasible this morning and some that weren’t feasible, my shoulder is feeling so much worse than it was. Whine, whine, whine…

Monday, July 30, 2013 The Madeline Island Ferry was just about to draw up its ramp when I pulled up to the loading zone. Anything bigger than my Mini Cooper would have never fit into the ferry’s remaining space, where I squeezed in between two other cars. It was only a short twenty minute ride…
Families are an interesting thing. And I have two of them: my adoptive family and my biological family. Unfortunately, both my families have gotten smaller. My adoptive Dad died 25 years ago. My adoptive brother died 13 years ago. And my adoptive Mom died about 17 months ago. And now my biological Dad died on…
Prologue: I wrote this for a reading at my writer’s group to discuss where I am as a writer. WARNING: It contains some swearing and crazy-ass thinking. I’m still grieving the loss of Luke. And it appears any time you suffer one loss, it brings up feelings from all the other losses in your life….
The dressage clinic did not go as I expected. I thought we were going to ride the dressage test that we’d selected and the clinician, Val Vetos from Volte Equestrian, was going to give us a few tips on how we could improve our scores. I got a lot more out of the clinic than…
Sorry, no audio recording for this post. It’s NaNoWriMo (read more about that under My Writing Life) and I must write! I had intended to head towards an idyllic destination. I think I caught a glimpse of it behind the trees. But when I reached the clearing, nothing around me looked like what I’d imagined…
Each time we go out, the world is open and free; it offers itself so graciously to our hearts, to create something new and wholesome for it each day. — John O-Donohue, “Eternal Echoes” I hear that having a vast number of interests is not that unusual for a writer. It’s part of the attraction of…

Sorry to hear about your shoulder! I hope you don’t need surgery. My dad had rotator cuff surgery. Any surgery, no matter what kind, is not fun. Hopefully the physical therapy works! PT worked for the disc bulge in my neck. Unfortunately I didn’t keep it up. I need to start my home exercises again since I am back at work, and my neck hurts pretty bad again!
Hope your camera issue isn’t too serious. Electronics can be such a pain sometimes!
Mary…you know then, that lifting heavy things will only make things worse. Be clever about moving stuff in the barn
.
I want to get a new camera too. Mine is still working, but I want a better one.
Writing a novel sounds VERY exciting. That should keep you busy and focused.
It has been warm, but grey most of the time here. I will admit that it has had an impact on me too.
Hope your shoulder eases up.
Sorry to hear about the shoulder. I hope that the PT works. Oftentimes, it does work so keep up hope!
A novel – very cool.
I hear ya. I have a shoulder issue it that I’ve been trying to ignore. It’s all that heavy lifting we have to do just to keep things going and the animals fed. I have found yoga helps greatly so I’m praying that PT is an answer to your prayers.
I also praying for sunshine again. We were blessed with three days after 10 without but it has been raining for 2.5 again. A little sunshine would go a long way!
Have a super day and we’ll just pray that PT solves your problem. Keep us updated.
God bless :o)
I couldn’t just have an injured shoulder, as you can see from my next post. No, that wasn’t good enough for me. I need to stop climbing trees and work benches and lifting up cars to rescue little children.
Keep those well wishes coming!
Ouch. Tom had shoulder surgery years ago. I’m hoping you can avoid it.
Enough with the falling!
Good luck with the novel. I have one started and at least 2 others in my head. It’s MUCH harder than the writing I do day to day.
