I decided that pretending I wanted to exercise might get some weights lifted. It worked for a bit, then I went "Feh!" in mid-set, stopped, showered, and came home. [livejournal.com profile] cattitude has pointed out to me that one "Feh!" does not a pattern make, and I suspect part of that reaction may have been to a crowded weight room and having to wait for equipment I'm used to having when I want it.

The annoying, and possibly worrisome, aspect is that my right shoulder was sore last night, and again this morning: I took ibuprofen right after breakfast, which did seem to help, and was careful about icing it during the workday.

I seem to be giving people advice today, most of it at least somewhat analogical. The first was in a friends-locked discussion (and thus I am not identifying it further), in which I recast the situation the person was asking about as a relationship breakup; the person in question said zie found my comments helpful.

Just now, I ran with another friend's analogy, and said that it was entirely sensible for her to keep the haunch of antelope to herself for now.
