A Post-Pumpkin Carving Epiphany

Yesterday I carved a pumpkin for the first time in my life.

Cute, right? It was an accident how the texture of the pumpkin turned out to look like the texture of a New Mexican Mesa in the light of the rising Sun, but it was a happy coincidence.

I worked today, and all day as I moved patients from bed to bed, I felt some soreness in my right chest, not unlike the soreness one would experience if they were to do a set of push-ups during their work out. The trick is, today, that soreness was unilateral. Only on the right side. I spent a lot of time today trying to figure out why the hell I had soreness in my right chest. And then I figured it out. I am sore from carving a pumpkin.

And that’s why I’m going to go ahead and join the crossfit gym. Like, real soon.
