Not that I am comparing myself to Steve Austin, but for the last few weeks I’ve been nursing a stack of little injuries that have made my lifestyle a little harder to maintain. Between the sprained wrist, the shoulder injury, the broken toe, and a off-putting tooth problem that needed a root canal to fix, I was slowed down a bit. It’s hard to walk everywhere when you’ve got a sore foot, and it’s hard to eat crunchy veggies when you can only really use one side of your mouth. The shoulder injury goes way back to Morocco, from carrying my pack for days on end. Anyway, the tooth was fixed yesterday, so that’s the last of it. The brace I was wearing on my wrist came off last week, and I’ve been able to start slowly adding plates to my weights in the morning, and adding reps to core work, again. I was probably due for the rest. I need to learn to listen to my body because I’m dumb and go until I physically break down, and then I have to take a break. Not so good.

I have a new recipe to put up. I may get to that today. I don’t usually do a lot of straight Japanese cooking, but I was craving soba noodles and mushrooms for some reason the other and put together something with that, and tofu.

Track of the post? Despite not having tickets to the Fredericton show (curse you, box office), I’m going to suggest “Half Assed“, by Ani DiFranco. The Youtube link is to a live version, with just Ani on an acoustic guitar.
