I give that dive an A for effort - now give me my meds.

I have officially become closer to 40 than my mid 30’s. I came to this conclusion tonight after a play session with Charlie ( my new rescue dog)and attempting to get up off the floor. My knees hurt, my lower back feels as if someone has vise grip on it and as usual, my ankles pop loud enough to startle the dog or wake a sleeping baby. Actually, when my little ones were very little, I did not walk out of the room after putting them down to sleep. Rather I shuffled my feet along the carpet without bending my ankles at all because when I first start walking my ankles pop so loud they actually woke up my new born infants
Anyway, I have been struggling for a few weeks now. At first I blamed it on the move. You know packing boxes, hauling boxes upstairs, running from the neighbor because you don’t have a bra on – those types of things. But the soreness never really went away. So, then I blamed it on my brother, Monty. Which I guess technically is was not his fault but I was at his house last weekend. Then the “kid” who was on the dive team for TCU was teaching Andrew how to do back flips and for some darn reason the phrase “I can do that” came out of my mouth and of course I had to try to do a back flip off the dive board. Now, I did not really get it on my first try, nor my second, third . . . eighth – you get the picture. But I talked myself into believing that the reason my body parts hurt was directly correlated to the back/butt/side/ head busters I ended up doing in my brother’s pool – or of course there is the fact the dive board has very little spring to it and I obviously need some spring.
Then tonight I had to refill my “pill box” (yes, I have a pill box broken down into AM/PM for all types of stuff that should make me live forever) and I realized that I have not been taking my glucosamine for almost 3 weeks now! Which really excited me for about a minute. I am not old! I am not hurting because I tried to do back flips off an un-bouncy board – I just have not taken my meds . . . OMG – I am old.
