Boundaries

averygoodun42Figuring out boundaries can be a pain in the butt, mostly because the process of finding a boundary involves that boundary being crossed. Then you have to think about how to define the boundary, and then communicate the definition so that it won't be crossed again which usually involves the risk of hurting others' feelings and... Yeah. Not fun. Important, but not fun.
So I'm slightly cranky about that.
Unrelated, yesterday I went in for my first allergy shot in six weeks. Oops. The day of my last appointment was the same day I had the biopsy, so I kind of forgot about the shot. Not too surprising, really. And then I just kept forgetting because it was Christmastime and I was stressed. And then I was sick.
Fortunately, although the dose had to be cut back, I'm still on a two-week basis, so that's good. Unfortunately, while we were waiting to be called, Babe was playing around, and when he did a spinning jump, he hurt his neck.
The poor bay has inherited my neck and shoulders. He's as tense as I am.
So, today we're going to the chiropractor. His first ever visit. Hopefully he won't object too much to the actual adjustment. I'm a little nervous about it, really, even though I was adjusted as a baby and have been getting adjustments ever since. Mostly, it's the x-ray I'm worried about, though. I want to shield him from any excess radiation because I've had so much exposure in my life. However, having a dose of radiation beats being paralyzed. Besides, this way I get to find out if he's inherited any extra ribs and/or vertebrae.
I just hope he goes along with everything. I hate crossing other people's boundaries as much as I hate mine being crossed.
