FIXING A PROBLEM

FIXING A PROBLEM

IT'S NOT THE PROBLEM, it's how you handle it. Sage advice from my grampappy. I'd like to see what he says about...

... this megannoying problem.

It's been keeping me up all night...

... that's no way for an aspiring shredder to recover.

In this case, I know...

  • the root cause
  • how to handle 
  • and treat

.... that's not the problem.

The problem is,
I didn't know it would be a problem.

While I was busy slicing my thumb on the MTB Saturday...

  • keeping up with Smiles
  • the beautiful morning
  • a bit of pain

... I was distracted.

A friendly vine of poison oak reached out,
and wrapped itself around my left arm.

Rather than scrubbing down with Tecnu, a special soap for poison oak encounters, my pre-emptive default after such a luscious ride...

... I did a quick rinse and hopped over to urgent care for stitches.

On Monday, the initial itchies set in.

Too late to handle the problem,
a week of suffering is on deck.

The moral of the story?

Prevention >  Problemsolving > Procrastination
