Over 40 and Not So Fabulous (Bubble Girl, aka Angry Girl)

Hey! Look how many people have added themselves to the map!!! (Including SSM guy!)Has anyone seen that ad to submit an application to win some big prize if you're over forty and fabulous?
Well I'm not.
I've been nursing a torn rotator cuff, and yesterday I made the attempt to lift weights again after a little hiatus of about two weeks. In the process, I pulled out my hip doing crunches. It needed a deep massage to get everything back in place, but since my massage therapist extraordinaire who IS over forty and fabulous is in New Mexico getting certified as a yoga instructor I resorted to a tennis ball. On the phone with SSM guy, I lay on the tennis ball and rolled and rolled and rolled until, lo and behold, I bruised myself.
Now I sit at the computer with two bags of frozen peas - one on my butt/hip, and one on my arm, which I made worse by showing off my bench pressing prowess in front of some guys who ran to my rescue when I nearly dropped the bar on my face.
Got Vicodin?

  1. You know maybe that yoga thing is not so bad after all.
    I was lifting weights the other day and I dropped some big weights on my calf. I have a bruise the size (and volume) of a fist.
    Lifting is dangerous.
