i was super into doing this playlist this week after a month of dealing with muscle problems. which i thought were almost back to my new normal. and then they weren't. and now i am annoyed and pissed off 😵‍💫. some of you out there may have had the experience of needing a major surgery that has the hidden bonus of it destroying some muscles to fix you. so that's me, and if it gets any worse....

it's wild out here, trying to just chug and having no neck muscles on one side. but i do my best to constantly try to strengthen them. i got the right side back completely, mostly by doing a shit ton of yard work, painting, and what not...with a side of some physical therapy. which should be called physical torture. i have never been one to go to 'the gym' or 'do exercises' though i have now committed myself to reformer pilates...seems an error in judgement on my part. i would be better off adopting @theoldsmelly workout routine....

but, you know, it's important or something to keep your body strong, especially as you find yourself sliding into an age that you used to think was 'so fucking old'. muscle strength becomes really important, what with the brittle bones, bad eyesight, and not wanting to wear a life alert because you fell and your aged ass can't get back up. so while i'm not telling you to get your self in gear before you break a hip out there, this guy might...

you know what's next...songs about muscles of all kinds. try and flex a little while you listen, your body will thank you.
