Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statue

Daily Success June 2 – Disappointing. The Internet Monster won again.

Yesterday

Yesterday was organizationally lazy on my part. Things got off to a good start with Poli-Sci, lots of physical therapy, and reasonable exercise. Then I got lost with the ndnation Political Board. Good discussions, and a real pleasure because of the current news cycle, but simply more time than Camino success can afford.

My bad.

I even allowed myself an unnecessary nap, just because I wanted one.

My bad.

Today

Today it is up to me to do the same things, only better. That is not a terribly tall pole.

I’m adjusting my physical therapy approach. There are simply too many stretches and exercises for an every day process. For now, it will be half today, the other half tomorrow. It may be necessary to split it into thirds.

Exercise, ditto. The improvement in my back led to mistakes; too much walking, not enough on the bike. The result is low calorie scores combined with lots of back / hip / leg pain because the cortisone injection has worn off and whatever the root cause is has returned.

I must, simply MUST, be patient with this. Strategic as well.

The Future

The future looks bright and would be brighter if we could just get the Piriformis Syndrome (which I’m now becoming convinced is really the bursa issue) resolved. Having what looks like the root cause of the problem becoming visible is encouraging, indeed.

Plus, France awaits and there may be some hope for progress on the Sam front.

The future does look bright.
