the coyote finds himself in a new situation of sorts
Lots to catch up on...
I survived the arts festival in Brockport, amazingly. Nathan and i tag tamed the events alongside Eric (rex) and did a few tours as a few characters. The heat, despite not being an issue out of suit, was still difficult for us in costume.
By the time the Wings Mascot Night rolled around, we were burnt out. It was raining that day anyway, which through the agenda way off. in a way, that was good as it gave us a chance to sit and chill and to not have to run around nearly as much. Still, I left early to rest my aching bones and get the Ellsworth suit ready to send back to Brockport.
Healthwise, I've been sliding down a slope. My joints hurt like hell even if I'm not moving. The pain is intense. At times, it's really hard to deal with. Folks have auggested that I get tested for arthritis -- not sure how one gets tested. One doctor thinks it's likely but I would like an official diagnosis. That way, I can at least do something about it.
So the pain comes and goes for days at a time, either after doing some sort of physical activity or after doing nothing all day. Sometimes it strikes when I'm cold, but not every time. Am more annyoed about it than anything else as it's really forcing me to slow way down in a way that would be detrimental.
Case in point, I FINALLY got a full time job. I'm working at a childrens center for youth with developmental / intellectual / physical disabilities. I started a few days ago (though today was the first day of classes for the kids, so that was intense) and I can safely say that I can't really keep up with this job if I hurt this much. It's very hands on, and at times, you're running around with the kids. I hurt so bad right now that I'm anxious about how i am going to feel tomorrow.
To top things off, the minor league Yankees are in playoffs at the Wings stadium, and am at least taking the game Friday (tomorrow). Some previous games have left me in pain while others have not, so it's hard to say how things will be tomorrow evening. Am hoping they'll be fine. if anything, it'll help me relax a little after my other job.
There's loads of charity events on the way for us mascots. I've found myself networking again, coordinating who'll be there and when and for how long and relaying that info to the event coordinators. Am looking forward to a lot of these events, as we do many of them every year.
ugh, I don't think the ibuporfin i took is making too much of a dent in this pain...
