Sometimes I Just Can't

What a rainy gross gloomy Friday. There are one thousand things I should be doing at this moment (okay, 4) yet I don't want to do any of them. Do you ever just completely lose all motivation? You want to do those dishes, you know you really need to do them but you just can't? You want to hop on that treadmill, but nothing will motivate this into happening? All I can think when this happens is the Good Charlotte song "The Motivation Proclamation" I need to play this song on repeat! No, not to torture myself ya jerks, but because maybe it'll trick my subconscious into doing something!

Without further ado:


Joel Madden is still hot, this makes me happy. He also turned out to be a great husband (although word on the street is they are on their way to splitsville) and great father.

Okay I've played it once and so far so good. There's no way in hell I'm leaving my couch tonight but I did bob my head. Totes a step in the right direction.

Love & Peace,
T

Heel Spur = Pain

Hello, Captain obvious here. Here's the deal yo, for the last month or so I've had some pretty intense feet pain. I recently went to my doctor about it because the pain was consistent and didn't seem to improve. When I saw the doc she pretty much right off the bat said it was plantar faciitis, she said she herself had experienced it before and sent me to see a podiatrist. It is painful, but only after exercise- so easy fix! Just don't exercise! My problem with that is that I'm still preparing for a 5K in like what...3 weeks now? I still haven't walked the full 3.2 miles yet. That could be a problem! I might end up crawling across that finish line, but I will cross it!

I ended up seeing a podiatrist today, since I'm 28 going on 95, four x-rays later and it was confirmed I have 3 heel spurs. One on the bottom in the heel of my left foot and one on the back of each foot. I don't notice pain with the spurs on the back of my feet, just the bottom heel. They taped my feet up and gave me some stretches that are supposed to help lift my arch. So far so good! Seems like every step I make to lose some weight I injure myself. It's getting old.

Hey y'all I'm a heel spur, here to fuck up your day

I'm always fascinated by doctor visits. Especially x-rays. I'm always nervous they are going to find something in there that isn't supposed to be there (like a tail or something, just me? okay). The doctor hung up my x-rays and took out her red crayon and went to town with all these marks where my bones apparently are supposed to be but  aren't and so on and so forth. After all that all I could think is "How have I been walking for 28 years with these fucked up feet?!" I guess it's normal but it still felt so surreal. She was also able to confirm with those x-rays that I do, in fact, have flat feet. I'm pretty sure you could take one look at these flippers and know that!

Heel that Pain, get it?

So off we go, to heal these spurs and save my little (big) feeties. Sorry this is more informative than funny but heel spurs are totes serious guys...

 

I was looking up pictures to go with this post and found this picture. Those faces. What the ole granny is this?! He seems to be hitting on her. Where's her foot? So many questions.
