A little throwback to October 20, 2007. How is this nearly 18 years ago??

I'm not going to Zwift tonight. My body ACHES. I am pretty sure I gave myself a severe case of whiplash when I hit my head on Sunday. It STILL hurts. The skull itself hurts, and there is pain radiating down my neck into my shoulders. I think sitting crouched over on a bike would feel like crap. Gonna go to bed early again tonight and see if I can rest my way back to health. 
I am also so so sad regarding the shut down of BT. I know there's nothing I can do about it, aside from infusing thousands of dollars into it, but it is the end of an era, and I actually shed a tear. So many friendships, so many jokes, so much exercise and [...]

Entire goal today is to finish the painting I started yesterday, get it photographed, and send an image to my gallery in Whitefish. Otherwise, will just clean a bit and attempt to fit in some sort of workout.
Owen is off tomorrow, and Aspen gets in around dinnertime tomorrow night. Not sure how much I'll get done tomorrow, but hoping to get out for a ride before I pick up Aspen. So excited to have her home for a few days!! Don't have any plans for the weekend, but Aspen wants to drive up to Breckenridge or something one day, and find a good restaurant to eat at in Denver another evening. We need to take Owen shopping for a homecoming outfit at some point too. 
Just booked a family photo session for Thanksgiving week. We haven't done family photos since the kids were little, and I want to get some while Aspen is home. I meant to do them before she left for college, but just didn't get it scheduled. We'll probably get snowed on or something trying to do it in November, but wha[...]

6:54am: Have I mentioned that my internal switch flipped back to "not heading towards menopause"? Just loving the return of my period, endometriosis pain and hormonal headaches after an absence of them for 7 months. In other news, I haven't had a hot flash. FWIW, this is NOT a good trade, in my opinion. I'd take hot flashes any day over this. I had forgotten how debilitating it can be.

Well, that was a fun night! We met up at Union Station. I had an super rare super fast trip downtown. It can happen. I caught a bus right away at our stop 3 mins from my house and messaged Darren i was on the bus and 35 mins later I was at our meeting spot in union. I had budgeted about an hour. So, wow! 
The seats were super high up but still good viewing for the game. Had an okay poutine for dinner in the arena and watched all the set up for the game. Some cool stuff like the Highland regiment coming out to open the game which they have done since 1931 and then the military personnel recognition with an old time Leaf player giving a jersey. But even funnier was everyone wearing a blue jays hat with their Leafs jerseys and then at the period intermissions everyone filing out to watch the baseball game on TV. During the second period they put up the blue jays score when they scored 3 runs and the crowd went crazy. Cheering for baseball in the middle of hockey. At the[...]

Good lifting session. Adrian's classes are tough. Shoulders were beat by the end.

So... this schedule is a fantasy. My neck and back are still sore, I am generally exhausted and I have a mediation tomorrow. Going to stay home for the rest of the week and try to workout as much as I... want.
