Getting Better

At first I was apprehensive about posting this because if you say you think you are getting better then you are basically jinxing yourself and it comes back at full speed ahead.  But I just have a feeling that my shoulder is starting to get better.  It's not better but it feels like it is getting better.

I've been using a cold pack until my rear left shoulder was totally numb then I would immediately put the heat pack on it and it would melt my muscle and the heat felt so good.  I would just do this all day long, giving my back a rest for an hour or so here and there.

I've been noticing that the pain has been going down my arm a bit more and more everyday.  At first it was at my shoulder but then creeping down my arm, it would go into my bicep muscle then it was going down to my elbow in my muscles and now it's getting lower, I don't know what it's called between the elbow and the hands but it's in there now in the middle.

Maybe, hopefully it will just keep going down until it's at the tips of my fingers until they just leave out my fingers.  Maybe I might see sparklers and confetti shoot out of my finger tips letting me know it's over.

For now I want and see.  By the time my references come I will be fine again and back on my bike again lol.  Well let's hope that I will be back to my routine again soon.

Boogers

What's up with boogers?  Why do we have them?  Stop laughing, I'm being serious lol ok I tried saying that with a straight face.

Why am I talking about boogers?  I have sleep apnea and I sleep with a mask that blows air in my lungs via my nose all night long to keep me alive long enough to live another day.  So when I wake up I immediately have to blow my nose because that air dries my "mucus"  which forms boogers lol.

So I was just curious as to know what it is and why we have them.

This comes from Squidoo.com:

What are Boogers and Where Do They Come From?

Why do we get boogers?

In order to understand about boogers, you have to know about mucus. Mucus is that slimy stuff that oozes from your nose when you have a cold. You might know it better by the more common name, snot.

Mucus has a very important part in our bodies. In the respiratory system (your nose, throat, and lungs), it keeps nasty things like dust and germs out of your lungs. These things get stuck in snot and your lungs are kept safe.

When these things get in the nose, they get trapped in the mucus, and then they dry and clump together to form boogers!

So even though they are annoying and gross, apparently they are very important.  So in order for me to protect my lungs, I gotta support the tissue industry.

Ghostly Dreams

I've been watching all these ghost videos on YouTube that it has entered my dreams lol.

The one thing that I've learned from watching Ghost Hunters on the SyFy (formerly Sci-Fi) channel is that they can't hurt you.  Well, they kinda can because Jayson has gotten scratches and they show people with scratches on their back that they couldn't have possibly done to themselves.  And there was that one Halloween episode where Grant was being held back and you could see the collar of his jacket being tugged on.  But is that really hurting?

The videos on YouTube that I've been watching have been that stupid "Pantry Ghost" video where you can see hands and a face through the glass but someone has proven that it is a fake by showing you how they do it.  So I don't believe in that one.  This same person has also shot video of himself playing hide n' seek with his daughter and at the very end you see what appears to be a ghostly apparition in the corner by the dresser.  Well, that could've easily been faked using the same techniques as the pantry video.  They also made a video of going into a room and seeing a ghost girl standing up and then another where he opens the board to the attic and he sees a ghost girl turning around to see the camera.  Those are all fake because you cannot see through the ghost, it's a solid apparition.

I've actually had encounters with "ghosts" in my bedroom.  Feeling a cat jump up on the bed and walk around.  That happens sometimes but I've accepted that it's a kitty cat ghost, it can't hurt me so it doesn't frighten me in the least.  And one night, this only happened once, I was laying in bed and I felt what seemed like 4 cats on the bed but then I felt as though someone just sat down on the edge of the bed.  The edge of the bed felt like it was pressed down.  You could feel someone sitting.  I didn't move because I didn't want to scare it, it didn't scare me.  I even said hello to it.  I eventually fell asleep.

But last night I had this dream that there was this ghost in the house and it was stalking me.  I went to the front door and there was a piece of furniture sitting in front of the door and it was keeping me in the house.  But I can't put any stock into that dream because some how our toy chihuahua dog "Flower" duplicated so I had 2 "flowers" lol.

It still scared me, I was frightened and basically just scared out of my mind.  But I know that it was just a dream, they can't hurt me.  I have to just keep saying and thinking that they cannot hurt me.

I saw "ghosts" as a kid, so did my older sister, my mother told me that she sees them too and that if I feel scared then perhaps it's not good, it's "evil" and to say the "lords prayer".  Well, personally I don't believe in evil as in hell or the devil.  I do believe in evil as in people who are evil such as those who have murdered other people and laughed about it and don't regret it or apologize for it.  So I guess if a ghost can be good as people can be good then a ghost can be evil as people can be evil.  It works both ways.

I think the only way to stop those dreams is to stop watching YouTube ghost videos that try to scare you lol.
