rissymonsterThe acupuncturist wants me to avoid spicy and heating-generating (from a chi-perspective) foods, and these are the stuff that makes my diet go. Luckily, wasabi seems to be ok. But acu-dude winced visibly when I described last weekend's one-two birthday party punch: the 30 year old's party was at a tasty (and spicy as all get out) Jamaican restaurant in West Oakland on Friday eve, and the 1 year old's dol sang was at a Korean restaurant Saturday. So, stuff me full of tofu and cucumbers and green tea for a while.
Wednesday's PT session featured both the domestic and martial flare-up contributors--the physical therapist critiqued my knitting technique (verdict: my knitting form needs major work) and let me do one run-through of the first jo kata on Wednesday with a mini-jo, after which she said said: "That's so cool.... Don't do that for a while, though." Although I've been sitting out large chunks of aikido classes of late and not knitting, the pain isn't going away really. Filing hurt today. Filing? Should not hurt. Today, she threatened to put my arm in a sling to make me rest. I told her maybe we'd consider that after the B-squatch's test Sunday. Oh, and the softball game Monday (we have a bye the following week, so this might work out).
I need to exercise; my weight's not great, my aerobic fitness level is craptastic, and my blood pressure's in that not-so-good creeping towards 140-90 again. Sounds like it's gonna be a lot of exercise biking for a while though. Any of the locals want to walk around the lake, say next Thursday?
