As I was falling asleep last night I said to no one in particular, since I’m pretty sure Kim was down for the count, “This is going to turn around tomorrow — it will stop hurting so I can stop whimpering.”
Oh, I do adore being right! I can haz gud day!!
Yesterday, though, I didn’t get back here with a recipe, did I. You knew that would happen. Screw it, let’s do something different.
THERE’s a thought that will carry me through an entire day! Plus the sun is shining, and Maddie’s keeping marauding dogs away from our 4th-floor windows, and Kim’s finishing his gorgeous painting project in the next room. Apparently I’m still too young to die, so I’m gonna get on with living today. Make it an amazing Tuesday in your world, and come talk to me about coping mechanisms.

You have not used up your coping mechanisms. You know how to do it. You’ve had a lot of experience with that very thing. Go for it girl !

So glad today is going better for you. It’s frustrating (not to mention painful) when our bodies suffer a state they’re not meant to be in. All we can do is wait for recovery. Glad it’s starting to make an appearance for you.

Yup, it’s all about patience and distraction, Carrie. And this is so freaking minor!!

Well, it’s still a deviation from normal, and that’s always difficult.

I always feel guilty for registering pain when children stoically bear all the suffering that cancer, for instance, bestows on them.

Pain is universal, so don’t feel guilty. But yes, seeing kids push through it is both gut-wrenching and heart-warming.
