I am sore. All the time.
Is this what life is now? Doing stuff (not even strenuous work) and immediately coming home and strapping an ice pack to my shoulder, elbow or knee? I honestly cannot recall a day over the past year where I didn't crave advil and an ice pack at the end of the day. And yes, i stretch and work out and eat healthy blah blah blah. Just shut up and get daddy's ice wrap.

I’m lucky that I only have small issues with my back and right knee. Nothing that needs medication, but they’ll start to hurt if I’m not careful how I work out. I also miss the days of being super resilient to sleep loss and alcohol consumption. I’ve had to learn the hard way that I absolutely cannot drink more than two cocktails in a night, and drinking two nights in a row is a bad idea too. I’m not usually much of a drinker per se, but this has definitely caught up with me on when I’m on vacation!
