Woke to wyrd

not a statement of certain thinks in the world, I woke up with wyrd thoughts,,,,

When I was a wee bain, my grands moved to Phoenix AZ, I don’t recall ever meeting them prior, and for years they lived in Hawaii,

They made that move because GranDa had allergy issues from hell (thanks, I know his issues,,,) and was developing Ol’Arthur: the normalized heat and lo-humidity made his life much more bearable.

Starting to think a similar move is in order for this aging carcass. The swelling in my hands and the constant ‘Ugh!’ my upper respritory has been doing,,,

such as right now,,,, Right paw has swollen thumb root that makes using my hand as a whole near impossible. Full use of the extended digits, but loss of that (currently non-opposible) offshoot means it responds more like a fin, than a hand. And the pain is creeping up the Radius (?) bone, feeling like potential carpal tunnel.

And I know when the warm weather comes back in a couple days, it will subside,,,, always does,,, Till then, compression bandages with capzasin and tigerbalm applied seems to help. Keeps the swelling down which is what causes most of the pain. (and believe me, it can be intense enough that I eyeball that hatchet and think, ‘just take the fuckin’ thing OFF,,,’ don’t wanna do that as my operating hand would be my southpaw and not as coordinated,, might miss and really fug it up. But the temptation is there.)

Years of using impacts, power drills, and torquing tools, (and trying my hand at slap bass,,,) have destroyed that thumb/wrist junction. I get the ol’arthur in other parts as well, but that one area REALLY takes center stage; the others are just annoying,,,

(more coffee)

Cold out today (sore thumb, DUH!) and there is a scattering of snow on the ground. Hopefully the last of the season. No plans today, left wide-open for me so that I can focus on getting BETTER. Bought a new fifth yesterday while out, medicinal purposes, and today, its near half,,,, Seems to have done some good. Didn’t do the the ‘float in my own sweat’ I was looking for, but ‘better’. If I have that ‘sweat it out’, this thing will be kicked good and solid.

Back to the move thing though,,,, IF I were to move, not saying how or when or,,,, It would need be near water, open water, not just some rivers and ponds. Which is funny, by signs (Virgo) I am an earth type, but I have the calling for water,,,, I guess my ‘element’ is mud,,,, Not that I put any creedance in that crap, but it was fun to learn long ago,,, and makes for some crazy convo when you find someone that swears by it,,,(and side note; I am a welder and play with casting metals, so there is the element of fire in my life too,,, hmmm??) SO, I have been looking way south, but thinking about GULF coastal stuff. Yeah, the humidity thing is there, but I have been there and the molds and fungi tend to be much lower levels; those are what drive my sinuses into overdrive, which leads to other problems lower down. Sorry guys of FlorA-Duh!,,, Been there too, and that area turns the spigots of snot wide open. (And Cinsin-nasty did even worse than this area,,, ALWAYS fighting off some bug when there. and why my grans split when they had the chance,,,,)(yes, I know which side the majority of my genetic code came from,,, Tells me load about my future too,)

The couple of years I lived in Sand Dawg area (north county) I was only miserable during El Nino: La Nina was easy-peasy. The rest of the time was like never knowing sinus issues. I kinda miss that,,, NOT the area, that place went left and down and never looked back. BUT the comfort of not spending mad amounts on sinus suppressants and phlegm reliefs,,,,, (and I really miss the corner taco stands: buy a carne asada burrito for $5, big enough to eat on for two days . Yah, it may have been chihuahau or stray cat for meat, but damned tasty!!!)

And oh, how I miss the beaches,,,far more ways I miss them than just ‘beach’ : surf, sun, seabreezes, even storms coming in were a delight (first time I saw a water spout was in SandDawg,,, Way cool!)

and FRESH FISH!!! loves me seafoods,,,,

sigh,,,,,

Maybe when the world economy implodes, I can buy a cheap place on the beach with brute force and goodlooks,,,ROFLMAO,,, yeah, right,,,

Yup,,, this poast is all pipedream and wistful thinks,,, missing a portion of my past and thinking,

and hurtin’,,,, this damned paw

think I need to put the keyboard away for a minute and let this paw chillout.
