Lazy Monday Roundup
Another day, another headache. Since I’m going on day six of splitting pain, and since too much thinking might cause my head to explode, here’s some news from around the Web.
Despite my headache, I was able to scarf down some mini candy bars this Halloween. And since not a single kid came knocking at our door, I’ve been picking from the pot all weekend. I think my sweet tooth’s had enough. Now I’m craving something savory, like Double Broccoli Quinoa (minus the garlic, of course).
The treadmill is not my friend. But I’d love to test out one of these anti-gravity treadmills that lessen the impact on joints like banged up knees.
Note to self: Next time you feel like quitting a workout before you’re really done, remember the mind-over-matter technique elite athletes use. Feel bad you’re such a wuss. Get on with your regularly scheduled exercise.
Happy reading. I’ll be back tomorrow with a (hopefully) renewed mind.

Just found your site. I feel your pain. I have been dealing with chronic pain for a couple years. It’s not my knees but I can relate to what you’re doing through. Sometimes I do things to spite my pain. (I always regret it later but at the time it feels very rewarding.) My back is the problem and it means that I can’t lift my grandkids anymore. I’m not even that old (relatively speaking). I can’t hoist them up to the sink so they can wash their hands or play any games that require lifting. It’s basic life stuff, you know? That’s the worst. Thanks for sharing your story– misery loves company, right? I’ll check in again to see if your shots worked. Good luck.

Thanks for stopping by. It can be hard dealing with pain day in and day out. It doesn’t matter if you have knee pain like me or back pain–or something else! Thanks for sharing your story, and I hope you continue to stop by and share.
