Midnight Pub

do the Arthritic Shake

~tffb

So, last night my Wahl hair clippers arrived. Buzzed to a "1", again. Or a 0, actually. Thin stub, mostly just scalp. And while using the clippers, I didn't realized that they vibrated so much. I knew clippers had a BUZZ but not vibrator-y (word?).

So, this AM, while having coffee, I go across the kitchen to do the usual "sun worship" pose in yoga, to keep my core strong, keep stomach fats low(er) (I used to be 244, about 190 now), and for the first time in nearly a year, I didn't have the arthritic-like "kink" in my right wrist. I developed it by lifting myself on/off the floor from waking from sleep, because I sleep on a sleeping pad, as a mattress destroys the tendons/soft tissue in my shoulders (idk why, genetic).

The vibration "fixed" the rigidness in my wrist. Yay-hoo :D

Coffee now, 67F, and some random bird chirps out the Pub window. Pigeons and other foul from afar - some coming from the denser "main web", couriers and the curious. Others on the far reaches of the "outer" Internet may claim pigeons are but robots - spies and informants: "you never see baby pigeons", as the average city schizo would proclaim.

As I focus on what chirps happen out the window, Smudge nonchalantly bumps his head against the side of my cheek, synchronous with a purr, I raise my right hand and pet unlooking, mug in left hand, mug steam and cigarette smoke intermingling in an indecipherable psychedelic blend of smoke, steam, nicotine, caffeine and pure pleasure.

May non-arthritic pets commence

My coming here for the smol buzz just got that much more meaningful. :-)

Good for you man, hopefully it's more than a temporary fix!
