2 years after the Father's Day Flood (written 6/17/2020- posted late)

I want to tell you how the Father's Day Flood effected me.  I haven't really said a whole lot about it because of my nature as a human being.  When I decided to shift my mindset from "manager" to "leader" my whole way of being changed.  Leaders aren't whiners, leaders aren't dumbasses, leaders suck it up and get shit done. At the time of the flood, I was on a medical leave from work.  I had had an accident prior to this that caused a head injury.  I'm still not exactly sure what's causing my pain.  It's present every day with moderate to severe levels of pain.  I still do not have any clear diagnosis of injury but we are inching closer.  (I have suffered from moderate to severe pain every day for  this  many days.)  I was managing 3 Burger King locations that were being effected by the flood, but mainly the Houghton location was right in the center of the shit storm. I received a call early in the morning from the General Manager of t

Namaste

I started practicing yoga again.  I’ve done 337 minutes of yoga since March 12.  It’s ironic that I began doing all this yoga the morning the shit show began.  I feel stronger than I have in a while.  I feel accomplished when it’s completed for the day.  I also bought a few bikini’s and I intend to wear them in public.  So for all of you that will see me at the beach this summer and around the pool, you’re welcome. Namaste, Motherfucker.

Spelling

Improper spelling of words drives me crazy.  I'm going to apologize for any errors in the last few posts.  I have been unable to figure out how to reinstate the spell check function. I will though. Peace.

I've been moving along nicely with my stregnth and excercise routine.  I have to be really careful with my neck when I'm doing yoga.  I modify everything.  I'm careful to keep my face relaxed.  I'm thankful that there are so many reminders to do so in the Down Dog yoga app I'm using.  (The muscles in my face are aggrivated as it is so if i'm grimacing, things are only intensified.)  Well, I was headed upstairs to fold some laundry, and I turned and looked at the cat (?) and BOOM!  I got a terrible cramp in my face and head and throat all at once!  A "CHARLIE HORSE" in my FACE!  It was around 1.  I immediately went to bed to lie down with my eyes closed.  I slept until 4.  I wake up feel naseaus, major head pain, facial
