Well, hello there, my old freinds. Oh, I know, we haven't talked in quite a while, you and I. Settled into a routine, largely based around sitting on my ass, yes, and that resulted in little communication with the rest of ya'll. Oh, granted, there was quite a bit of dog walking in there, at least until my other friends, the feet, when to hell.
But here we are! Time to shake off that layabout dust, because we have a new routine now. It involves a lot of stuff, specifically getting smacked around a lot on Tuesdays, and then attempting to stretch it all out again on Wednesdays.
Yes, Shoulders. I hear you griping, but for now you're going to suck it up, accept my offering of nifty blue orbs, and be quiet. And you, Knees? Take a play out of Shoulder's book and zip it.

Got to the Tuesday night Millbury heavy list practice, and what an absolutely lovely group of friendly people. Social circles collapsed, and new people were met, and old people were re-met. I was strapped into some of my own stuff, but mostly loaner gear, and recieved a very light first lesson on "how to hit, how to get hit, and how to die gracefully in service to the Crown". I was having a pretty good time, but I really need to get into stuff that fits. The best part was the "how to die" part of the lesson, mostly because it was at the end, and I was laying on the floor. :)
This did serve to teach me that Meta's shield Just Won't Do, unless I want to go sledding on it or build a boat out of it. I have to start smaller and lighter unless I want real issues with the shoulder going forward.
Last night I went to yoga, since I wasn't feeling much yet. Figured I'd better strech everything out that I woke up the night before. Hooray, relaxing yoga. There was only one pose that I could see being comfortable, but the minute I was in it, things went a little sideways. Instant headache, and my body started muttering "This is not Right, I demand you stop Immediately. Anything is preferable to this." but I stuck it out. Still a little headachy today, but nothing that can't be cured with the happy blue orbs.
Pretty sore, babying the gatorade, but this is good. For the forseeable future, Tuesday will be had in Millbury, and Wednesdays will be had at yoga.
I highly encourage others to join me at either or both!
