Blood, Sweat & 'Hairs'

I can hear some of you now. "Gro-o-a-n!" For the too young crowd, today's blog title plays off the band named "Blood Sweat & Tears". I'm working on expanding my creativity. Okay, okay. I'll keep my day job.

Concerning the topic of 'blood', today was another opportunity to give up a vile of blood to the lab. I just love needles! I can't complain about this particular lab I'm going to. I had two different ladies take my blood between last week and this week and both did an awesome job. No pain at all. As for the results, I never heard anything about the blood taken last week. I guess no news is good news in this case.

On to 'sweat'. Besides my 3-mile walk around the neighborhood, I threw some weights around as I had mentioned I would do to help build back my muscles. I guess I didn't 'throw' them around, but I did a mixture of exercises for my legs and arms, followed by some sit ups. It wasn't all out muscle break down, but it felt good to work the muscles a bit. I hope to work with the weights 2-3 times a week, on my good weeks. I won't be looking at the weights when the achiness comes back. A good soak in a warm bath will be what I'll be headed for.

And lastly, what about the 'hairs'? Without my permission, they continue to increasingly disengage from my scalp. Generous passes of hairspray have failed to hold them on. Lucky for me, I have a thick head of hair that often needs thinning when getting a routine haircut. So the loss, so far, is not noticeable in any way, even to me.
