Good morning!
Yes!
It's morning!
Yes, a tough Night!
Thanks for asking.
What happened.
Seems an older guy was helping a younger guy with a giant tarp. You know, one that's 50 feet x 40 feet. Seems the older guy missed a step and suddenly stopped doing his part.
Yes! He kinda laid down on the job.
You know!
It's good to take a rest.
It took a few minutes for the older guy to want to get up off the frozen ground.
Yes. He finished loading the tarp. Did some other things and then ate supper.
Right now, with painkillers, he's feeling a bit lightheaded, and his hide feels like things are crawling around on it. His eyes feel like they’re trying to look at each other.
But, all is well.
What?
Yes! Seems he had two cracked ribs from lying down. Then, the cracks were greatly enhanced after helping move his youngest to a new home. Taking things down the upstairs and something up the downstairs. And taking it apart and putting it all back together again.
Yes, the doctors said he's absolutely not to do the gym thing for at least six to eight weeks, but because the old guy’s older, they say it might be ten-plus weeks before he's to do any gym stuff, which he's never done.
This means he can still lift weighty stuff. That's been a lifestyle.
Hey! It's not gym stuff, OK,
And the house they purchased had cats in it. And seeing the older one is super allergic to cats, he sneezes.
Yes, they cleaned, painted, and removed rugs, but cats are cats. They leave stuff all over the place.
No!
It wasn't until he was about 20 minutes away from home and had been viciously fighting the allergic sneezing that he missed stopping one!
YA! Just one.
You Know! One's very, very good at times!
It seems the cracked ribs were suddenly encouraged to expand rapidly like an erupting volcano.
Remember Mt. Saint Helen erupting on May 18,1980?
A good example.
Which left…
No! It’s not alright! It's left.
Yes!
It left the old guy kinda wishing he was dead.
So, for the time being, the old guy's two ribs are broken, ok, shattered.
Yes, I know! You’re not to sneeze in public.
Now he's waiting for the new prescription so he can take two instead of one.
If one's good, two’s better. Double the funny things running around on your hide and maybe, just maybe, seeing spiders. Lots and lots of giant spiders.
All coloured, walking all over the place, exploding. OK!
You know about exploding!
Ok! OK! OKAY!
For you who want the short version!
I cracked two ribs when I fell on some ice, then sneezed to finish the job!
Will survive!
It's just...
Ahhhhhhhh!
What!
Yes!
I'm looking after myself.
So is my wife! Ok!
Yes!
I’m sitting!
I'm waiting!
Waiting for the tea kettle to boil.
Yes!
Get hot.
No!
I'm not getting HOT! The tea kettle is.
But for the sisters who are practicing their mothering…
What…!
Yes, standing is good.
Standing in front of the wood heater, listening to the crackling of wood burning, feeling the warmth, soothing the aching body.
Yes, this is good!
Real good!
Yes, standing or sitting, either one's good.
No!
It's getting to both.
It's the sitting down and the standing up that gets you.
Just a minute, the tea kettles boiling.
Give me time!
I'm in the process of standing.
It takes a bit.
Yes!
I'm going to make tea.
What kind!
Fruit fusion!
It might fuss ribs!
Ok!
I'm back!
A cup of tea with honey and some dark chocolate.
Hey! Dark chocolate goes with anything!
Look! I'm in the process of healing.
I can eat chocolate.
You know!
Going up and down stairs is like the standing and sitting procedures.
Do IT very slowly.
Do you hear me, s l o w l y!
Yes, it's…
Yes! Others already know that I write when drinking tea and eating chocolate.
AhhHHHH! Breath! Breath. Slowly!
DON'T! Don't blow your nose!
Just wipe it! Ok!
So, right now, I'm looking after myself.
Thanks for your concerns.
Tim – who’s diligently indulging in healing.
Hey! Dark chocolate is a really, really good healer.
So I don't Sneeze in Public.
