I use this stuff called BioFreeze on my sore shoulder/neck area. I guess it’s a kinder version of Icy Hot and it doesn’t smell quite as elderly. I’ve had a strange persnickety muscle spasm since my first desk job post college. I now take it as an early sign that I was not created for a desk job. Rather than make me go numb like the BioFreeze, sitting at a desk raised all the discontent hairs on my body and agitated me to the point of rebellion…or at least to the point of finding a different job.
I’ve been using a lot of BioFreeze lately. I get a weird ache when I use my computer…like now. And when I watch television…like 10 minutes ago. I think my body is like the tiny buds I see on the trees on my street…they are ready for spring to arrive…getting a little impatient while the wind forces them to stay closed. Since college when I could watch people walk around campus, I look forward to that first day when the warmer weather is going to stick around. People start to change their posture…heads are up and hatless, shoulders are no longer hunched, arms are unwrapped from the angry hug they’ve held to keep the coat snug all winter. We’ll soon smile and look at each other and remember there is life out there when we aren’t ducking from the cold. My shoulders are ready to un-hunch. I’m ready to be un-numb.
