Thought I would upload a photo or two.
First one is of me in the kitchen with Benny and I am wearing my happy green boots. Yesterday I went to the hairdressers and she looked at my boots and said to me "Linda, they make me feel happy when I look at them". Maybe just seeing a different colour is nice.
I bought a Sex Pistols t-shirt and thought I could do a bit of a punk look but, really, I think I look like a bit of a sad old cow with those hot pants on. I can deal with not looking young and having chunky thighs but I don't want to look like I think I look young. If you know what I mean. The other option I have is my afternoon tea party dress. I think the dress might be more suitable. I will see on the day.
I know that Sex Pistols is nothing to do with Royalty as such but it kind of is to me because they came out with that whole anti anthem thing in the late 1970's. It started with God save the Queen. The fascist regime. It made you a moron. A potential H-bomb.
It's all pretty tame now but I suppose at the time it was a pretty offensive song.
I have been enjoying the extra days off. Just fiddling around the house and relaxing. Did not go for my Saturday night walk as the other two had other things that needed doing. I feel like a complete and utter slob at the moment as my exercise regime has dwindled down to only two or three times a week. Plus I can't say the reduction in exercise is good for my head but I am very demotivated. I also have a chronic shoulder injury and have done NOTHING about it because it is just another THING to do.
The shoulder is fine when it is rested and then I might just reach behind me and the pain is excruciating. I am fairly certain it is the rotator cuff and that is an annoying piss farty thing to bother with. I am also highly resentful that my body does things like get injuries.
This evening I am in the studio and chatting to a friend on FB. I will do some drawing and read some of my art books. And tomorrow morning I intend to finish a painting that has been waiting for a couple of hours work for months and months.
So, that is my post for the day.
In the meantime I shall ponder what to wear tomorrow afternoon.
A pretty dress?
Or a pair of age inappropriate hot pants?
Ciao

Linda – your green boots are KILLER!! I love them! About your shoulder – I had something that sounds similar...just something I started noticing that became a big problem over the course of a year. A physical therapist said it was a weak minor muscle supporting the shoulder blade that causes impingement – he said it was very common in women. About 16 weeks of specific exercises targeting that muscle and I recovered completely. I think it may have been caused initially by running with my dog (the way I was holding her leash).
ReplyDeleteGo with the hot pants. You could totally get away with it.
ReplyDeleteKYLady: The boots are lovely are they not. I am pleased to know that you recovered from the injury. That rotator cuff is that small muscle that is kind of crucial and when it goes wrong it has to be sorted. I will have to action it because it affects my day to day life and I am inclined to IGNORE it. I think it happened with I was doing a side plank and raising a weight at the same time. AGES ago!
ReplyDeleteMarianne: It was too cold. Sadly. I do wish I had worn shorts such as these when I was a young gal. They are fun.
