river street sign
river street sign, downtown santa cruz. most people think this sign is an eyesore, i don’t think it’s that bad, tres 80s for sure, but not an eyesore. and why it doesn’t just say “welcome to downtown santa cruz” is beyond me. honestly, river street isn’t really that much of an attraction, unless you’re looking for the kind of alternative pharmacists that i don’t like. regardless, it still makes a nice background for my recent photo experimenting. i encourage you to look at the bigger version and really enjoy the all natural, 100% organic, eye candy—no crop, no photoshop!
i’m really feeling a lot better. my back feels almost 100%, but there’s still a little tenderness in the lowest part of my right back. i woke up this morning and immediately felt it. ouch! as i’m healing, i’m noticing the way my body relaxes and how it’s related to my injury. for instance, it doesn’t matter if i’m sitting or on my back in bed, i have a habit of crooking my right hip just a little, which actually is starting to not feel so comfortable anymore. i feel like i’m in a weird body transition stage. everything that used to feel comfortable, isn’t working out so well for me and the good posture is wearing me out because i’m developing muscles i never knew i had and realigning the few i already had. alright, heartbreakers, come back tomorrow for more healing talk. ~m

Take it easy on yourself (mentally, especially–we beat ourselves up) as you heal. Having to take a break can be humbling! I’m riding the recovery train right now, too, so I know how it is!

Happy you are healing nicely! I’ve been away from the hot room since last Sunday because of my hip flexor injury so I can feel your pain! I pulled it in December but was too stubborn to stop working out. Just try to take it slow with your back. Happy days to you!
