I played a few games of beach volleyball yesterday although I probably shouldn’t have because of my shoulders but they actually held up quite well.
I took a cold water plunge last evening at sunset after playing to cool down my shoulders and help with the inflammation.
I also took another dip this morning along with some ice packs last night. They feel a bit sore today but not as painful as a month ago when I played, it’s more of a normal aching sore instead of a knife stabbing pain so maybe my tendons are healing. I see outside they are doing a gas line repair below in the street because they must have detected a leak. It’s a lot of hard work these street construction men do and I know how tough it is as I used to do it many years ago. I had my own roofing and plumbing service up until 2008 when I decided my body is better off doing some type of office work on a computer. I was an engineer back in Silicon Valley but left it all back in 1999 to do my own thing. I liked being a plumbing contractor for a while and meeting all kinds of new people when I was doing the estimates or completing a job. I left that in 2008 to pursue a career in the arts when I became a stand up comedian. It was much more exciting than drain line or leak repairs in the plumbing world but carried a different kind of pain, the pain of bombing on stage.
