Hello!

I think I missed a note there.

Welcome to Very Amusing, your one-stop shop for the story, secrets, and shenanigans of a popcorn-fueled

theme park journalist. I'm Carly Wiesel, and I am happy to report that I am on The Mend. I posted a few

days ago that I hurt my back. I ended up pulling two muscles under my ribs in my back. Let me tell you,

inconvenient spot to be pulling muscles.

I also inflamed a joint.

I don't know.

I learned the hard way I'm doing kettleball swings wrong.

I carried Pearl through the entirety of the queue of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree,

and I just did too much on my soft weak body,

and I just kind of blew out half of my ribs. Now, the good news is that I was quoted

three to four weeks recovery, which simply will not work for me. I cannot go that long without

being active and exercising and being able to breathe without pain because breathing with

pulling muscles in your ribs, not great. However, I'm less than a

week since that injury and I feel almost back to normal. I don't even want to jinx it. I don't

even want to jinx it, but I'm feeling really good. I woke up today, this is Monday when I'm

recording this, and was like, oh my gosh, I think I'm almost there. Now I can't twist and I can't

pick up pearl, but otherwise I sat at my desk and wasn't in I think I'm almost there. Now, I can't twist and I can't pick up pearl, but otherwise,

I sat at my desk and wasn't in pain. I've been walking around. I wasn't in pain, so I'm so

grateful. And oh my gosh, just to be like, if you live a life regularly without pain, just

enjoy it because it's not always guaranteed. And age will get you at a certain point. And I just am so grateful to be feeling good-ish once again.
