BUSY/EVENTFUL day of RECOVERY

…

-- I arose rather EARLY--even earli-ER than USUAL (4:44 am) (… YES, I PLANNED that.  I can DO that.  … It MAY be my SIXTH … or even my SEVENTH sense: "TIMELY a-RISING from SSSLUMBERS".)

… QUESTION: WHY did I wake-up at such an "UNGODLY-hour"?!
ANSWER: "Nature called … '#1'."  So, I buzzed for my caregiver/"SPOTTER" … to TRAIL me, as I "WALKED" to my toilet to "RELIEVE myself" … via urine.

-- DAG-NABBIT!
I--FRUSTRATINGLY--yelled, "GO, Go, Gadget-ARM'--a la 'Inspector Gadget' in a DESPERATE attempt to REACH an ITCH in/on the MIDDLE of the "SMALL-of-my-back".
UN-fortunately, I am not THAT similar to 'Iron Man'.
((… AUDIBLE SIGH)  I GUESS I'll just "chalk it up" to YET ANOTHER "trial for my ability to IGNORE".)

… "DAG-NABBIT!", Part II
APPARENTLY, I'm STILL … TIRED!
I--REPEATEDLY--YAWN!
My eyelids feel … VERY "HEAVY"

… NONETHELESS/REGARDLESS, I just "SUCK … it … UP", 'cuz …
THAT's just what I DO!

… I'm NOT gonna LIE:
It certainly "BOOSTED my ENERGY", when my housemate came into my room--PRE-work--to "SHARE some CHUCKLES".
(… "'LAUGHTER' is the BEST 'medicine'."  … "HUMOR" serves as an "OPTIMAL-/IDEAL-/EXEMPLARY-energy PRODUCER/BUILDER" … for ME.)
(… It's a "PSYCHOSOMATIC-thing".)
(… Read: "It's 'over MY head.")

-- I check the SPORTS-scores & -stats--as I do EVERY morning, 'cuz I am a "SPORTS-NUT"/-FANATIC"!
(… ME: "ANALYZING statistics" RELAXES me.
"WHY … you WEIRDO?"  y'ALL RUDELY ask.
MY reply … AFTER I wipe-away my tears:
"1) I KNOW you ARE, but WHAT am I?
2) It TAKES one to KNOW one.
 3) 'To EACH his OWN', … dip-shit."

-- "(PROPER) COMMUNICATION is KEY."
((… THIS would ENSURE a MUTUAL-UNDERSTANDING, … which is even MORE IMPORTANT/NECESSARY to (MY) LIFE.))

… UN-fortunately, I feel as if I am OFTEN MIS-understood, … 'cuz of my NECESSARY "letter-board".  Yes, I DO tend to EXAGGERATE my ANGER/FRUSTRATION with some RATHER WILD/FLAILING movements.  But, that's ONLY 'cuz "next to NO ONE" seems to be able to "READ & PROCESS".
(SIGH)

… 'Por ejemplo', this morning I needed my T-shirt turned-AROUND, 'cuz my caregiver anded it to me BACKWARDS.  So, after ABSENT-MINDEDLY putting-ON the BACKWARDS-shirt, I SIGNALED that I NEEDED some assistance by
pointing to the shirt-tag on my upper-CHEST … NOT BACK.
(… After this pointing did NOT work THREE DIFFERENT times,
I SIGHED & REMOVED the shirt.)

-- By the time my SPEECH-Therapist arrives for my "session" (at ~1:30 pm), I've already "WALKED" 'a mi banyo …'CINCO tiempas'.
(… My INTERNAL-monologue: "When in DOUBT, 'WALK'.  'Tis better to be SAFE, than 'tis to be SORRY.'")

-- 'Twas a VERY ENCOURAGING session of Speech-therapy.
I ATE--via MOUTH--TWO scrambled eggs.
(… I had--PREVIOUSLY--USUALLY eaten ONE egg.  But, my SPEECH-Therapist actually APPROVED OF & quietly-CHEERED my "GUTSY"-DECISION to eat TWO eggs.)

-- I had an "ON-again, OFF-again" workout @ "NeuroFit 360".
I EXCELLED at this NEW exercise this "worked"/stressed my "TRUNK-control/-flexibility".
CONVERSELY, I STRUGGLED to "explain"--'SANS' letterboard--that I was having TROUBLE keeping my LEFT ankle from "ROLLING".
(… THIS ankle-rolling was causing PAIN & my "AVOIDANCE of putting my FULL/ENTIRE body-WEIGHT on it.)

-- I was A BIT hesitant to "WASH-UP" after my workout, … SIMPLY because of PHYSICS-caused DREAD.
"I have a 'HIGHER-than-normal' BODY-DENSITY.
If I run too-DEEP a BATH, I DROWN."
(--Sheldon Cooper, 'The Big Bang Theory')
…
THEN, I realized that I take a SHOWER … NOT a BATH.
(… WHEW!)

-- I CONCLUDED my evening by ASSISTING my HOUSEMATE with OUR dinner-PRACTICE/-PREP for our "MOTHER's Day BRUNCH Par-TAY" … for our RESPECTIVE "Moms".
I "beat some eggs", braised some veggies & "oil-coated" the cooking-sheet … as PREP for our BIG "Mother's Day" feast of our

…

QUICHE'!
