[0:00]so I've been having an interesting

[0:02]couple of days here let me set the scene

[0:04]for you sitting on my bed in my RV got

[0:08]some hot chocolate

[0:09]here I made that with my gettle I made

[0:12]hot water in my gettle I just discovered

[0:14]I had that thing for n months and never

[0:16]used it and as soon as I used it I just

[0:18]started to think all the different ways

[0:20]this thing is going to make my life

[0:23]better starting with hot

[0:26]chocolate and instant mashed potatoes

[0:29]that I had yesterday

[0:33]so I'm sitting at a different angle

[0:36]basically other direction from where I

[0:39]used to

[0:40]be feels a little gives me a better

[0:43]place to sit against the other side has

[0:46]that window that window which you know

[0:49]this is my slide in

[0:50]indoors which is never very

[0:53]comfortable um I got my laptop in front

[0:56]of me Final Fantasy 16 on it been

[0:59]playing that for few

[1:04]days I just thinking what do I want to

[1:06]say about that cuz I love Final Fantasy

[1:09]I've been playing them since I was a kid

[1:12]there's things I like about this one

[1:13]there's things I don't so it's probably

[1:15]too early to really talk about

[1:17]it but it's keeping me occupied and

[1:20]that's what I need right now cuz for two

[1:22]days I've just been sitting on this bed

[1:24]because that's where my body's telling

[1:25]me I need to be

[1:31]and I think I'm probably stuck here for

[1:34]up to two weeks because I just have this

[1:38]feeling

[1:39]that I'm in this acute stage of recovery

[1:42]for like the next week then maybe I can

[1:44]start doing a little bit more the week

[1:46]after

[1:47]that but I'm accepting this you know I'm

[1:50]hoping that I'm here at Kate Blanco for

[1:53]2 weeks you know I started resting as

[1:56]soon as I got here so we're 2 days into

[1:58]that um just hoping by the time that's

[2:03]over my core muscles will be healed and

[2:07]I'll be able to get back out there

[2:10]exploring you know and I'll just be in

[2:12]better shape than I was and my core

[2:15]muscles those have never hurt before I

[2:17]didn't know I didn't have any like frame

[2:19]of reference for the signals it was

[2:21]sending cuz they were

[2:24]not just wasn't clear to me it wasn't

[2:27]like what you you know your muscle your

[2:28]leg muscles get so you you know how to

[2:31]handle that you know like it's pretty

[2:33]obvious but your core muscles they're

[2:34]different they send

[2:36]these they're not hurting all the time

[2:39]only certain movements

[2:41]and it's not like always a sharp pain

[2:43]sometimes it's just

[2:45]like um

[2:47]like a fire sensation or right in the

[2:51]front of my stomach I got this feeling

[2:54]of um like sandpaper like it's a weird

[2:58]feeling like they're so diffuse like

[3:00]these Sensations that I'm like can I

[3:03]keep hiking I was like you know what

[3:06]let's just keep hiking you know and 8

[3:08]weeks later 10 miles a day every day s

[3:11]days a week finally my body was like you

[3:14]need to stop this you're killing

[3:15]us so here I am got a heating pad here

[3:19]I'm using that a whole lot

[3:23]too I'm bored like even this game like

[3:26]it's okay you know it's okay but it's

[3:29]kind of boring like I feel contained in

[3:31]this space but I'm trying so hard to

[3:33]just accept it

[3:35]because I know that it's good for me

[3:41]like I definitely transformed my body

[3:44]over those eight weeks like I wasn't

[3:46]even trying it's just what happened for

[3:48]me just feeling contained and wanting to

[3:50]be out

[3:51]exploring to the point now as I get

[3:55]better I want to start integrating some

[3:56]new things like stretching every day you

[3:59]know

[4:01]pull-ups um pull-ups and situps things

[4:04]like that maybe just something I do in

[4:06]the

[4:07]morning just to get myself in the best

[4:10]shape I can so that it it supports my

[4:13]expiration and my lifestyle

[4:16]and I don't

[4:18]get stuck in a pattern like this where

[4:21]I'm two weeks I'm just going to be

[4:23]sitting here playing Final

[4:27]Fantasy but I'm always looking at the

[4:30]positive side of things you know

[4:32]I I get to play this on Steam it's on

[4:35]the PC you know and I was waiting for

[4:37]that I didn't play it on Playstation cuz

[4:40]I knew it would come to steam and I've

[4:42]had it for a while cuz that was probably

[4:44]last year I don't even remember but I

[4:46]just never got around to playing this

[4:48]one and I was thinking you know if I'm

[4:52]stuck here for two weeks maybe I just

[4:53]play through a lot of the different

[4:55]final fantasies and work on getting my

[4:57]trophies for them on my steam profile cu

[4:59]I'm actually really proud of my Steam

[5:01]account like I just that was a big part

[5:04]of my life before I moved into an

[5:07]RV and so this is kind of like forced

[5:10]Stillness where I just have

[5:14]to focus my

[5:17]energy in a different way

[5:20]and just find find the good in it I have

[5:25]been talking about this for about a week

[5:27]now I think and I C to me tonight that

[5:30]literally no one commented I hope you

[5:32]get well soon or anything like that and

[5:35]I started thinking should I be offended

[5:37]or impressed because that could be one

[5:40]of two things or both you know you just

[5:42]don't care

[5:44]or you've integrated my message about

[5:47]comments so well that you're not sure if

[5:50]that would be fragmenting my experience

[5:52]or

[5:53]not and I would say to

[5:56]that I don't know either I I

[6:00]I'm human we do want to hear like that

[6:03]people actually care when we're

[6:04]suffering right except you can see I'm

[6:07]not suffering so why would you comment

[6:09]on it right so all of these different

[6:10]like nuances it's kind of interesting to

[6:13]me I wanted to share that with

[6:16]you I'm doing

[6:19]good

[6:22]I I'm doing good it kind of sucks to you

[6:24]know it's not it hasn't rained the

[6:26]entire time I've been here there hasn't

[6:27]been any wind the weather's been nice

[6:29]and it's just like wow so as soon as

[6:31]everything gets nice outside I'm stuck

[6:33]indoors

[6:34]so

[6:38]irony I don't really have anything to

[6:40]talk about I just wanted to share my

[6:43]night with

[6:44]you um did I pan over here this is what

[6:47]my little space looks like now on my

[6:50]bad um still working on

[6:54]it what I'd like to do I need help with

[6:57]this so I need somebody that has the

[6:58]skill to do it cuz I

[7:00]don't um I need to fix this bed platform

[7:03]because my slides in all the time I

[7:05]can't lay flat on this bed as I'm taller

[7:08]than than I can you know fit in here but

[7:11]if I can just kind of make a bed

[7:14]platform that goes all the way out to

[7:15]that wall and then like even has this

[7:17]little thing on the end that kind of

[7:19]extends it a little bit so I can sleep

[7:20]at an

[7:22]angle I just I need that like I just do

[7:26]and maybe like have have it on a hint so

[7:28]I can pull part of it up you know to get

[7:31]underneath of that area over there like

[7:33]just I want to optimize this and I need

[7:35]help to do it though so or just enough

[7:38]money to you know find a person who does

[7:40]stuff like that and you know explain to

[7:42]them yeah it's an RV but you know you

[7:44]work with wood you could totally do this

[7:45]it's not that hard um really hoping to

[7:50]do that because this is not just where I

[7:52]sleep it's also where I hang out in my

[7:54]RV

[7:56]so the rest of it is

[7:59]all about pure

[8:01]function small space and most of it just

[8:04]pure function this is where I relax this

[8:07]is where I work this is where I play

[8:08]games like all of

[8:12]it I love that I'm having hot chocolate

[8:15]right now that so

[8:17]cool I was so happy to

[8:20]discover Claude the AI told

[8:23]me that I could use you know J makes hot

[8:26]water little boil water for you it even

[8:28]let you set temp temperatures and so

[8:32]suddenly new things become available

[8:34]like instant mashed potatoes or ramen

[8:36]noodles or just any kind

[8:39]of there's just so much possibility it

[8:42]opened up so much for me I could not

[8:44]figure out a way what am I going to

[8:47]cook in one pot you know like my ninja

[8:51]foodie like and make it like I just

[8:53]couldn't figure that out now I have a

[8:56]solution I just love it when those those

[8:58]Solutions appear and I have to share

[9:01]them just in case there's someone out

[9:02]there who like oh I could benefit from a

[9:05]gettle too I mean I can use that thing

[9:08]to have hot water to clean my

[9:10]face um just

[9:13]really cooking all of it like there's

[9:15]just so many possibilities and I don't

[9:18]have to use the hot water heater that's

[9:20]in my built into the army which doesn't

[9:23]work anyways it gets way too

[9:25]hot um but even if I was using it you

[9:29]know know you have to have the water on

[9:32]for a little while before it gets hot

[9:33]and that's just putting that's just

[9:35]wasting water putting it in my tanks

[9:37]that I'm always trying to control so

[9:40]just a way better optimized solution me

[9:42]I look for those those are what make

[9:44]this lifestyle feel rewarding to

[9:48][Music]

[9:49]me so

[9:51]yeah I'm un bessed and I just wanted to

[9:55]share it with you how bored I am and

[9:59]but also truly accepting it and excited

[10:03]about where it leads because this is an

[10:06]integration practice too this is me

[10:09]integrating

[10:11]the the activity that I had been doing

[10:13]for two

[10:15]months into the core of my body you know

[10:18]literally so that's

[10:21]important that's something to

[10:25]honor so yeah we all have a good night

Summary

rswfire describes being in an acute recovery phase at Kate Blanco, confined to bed in his RV for what he expects to be two weeks due to core muscle injury from eight weeks of daily hiking. He's positioned differently in his RV setup, drinking hot chocolate made with a kettle he recently discovered, and playing Final Fantasy 16 on his laptop. **Core muscle injury details**: The pain manifests as diffuse sensations - fire sensations, sandpaper feelings in his stomach, and pain only with certain movements, which made it difficult to recognize initially. After hiking 10 miles daily for 8 weeks, his body finally forced him to stop.

**Equipment and space optimization**: He's using a heating pad and has discovered multiple uses for his kettle beyond hot chocolate, including instant mashed potatoes, ramen, and face washing. This eliminates reliance on his RV's malfunctioning hot water heater and conserves tank water. He wants to modify his bed platform to extend to the wall with a hinged section for storage access, requiring skilled help or money to hire someone.

**Gaming and digital life**: He's playing Final Fantasy 16 on Steam (waited for PC release rather than PlayStation) and considering working through multiple Final Fantasy games to earn Steam achievements during recovery. His Steam account represents a significant part of his pre-RV life.

**Social observation**: He notes that no one commented "get well soon" on his previous posts about the injury, wondering if people don't care or have integrated his teachings about fragmenting experiences too well. **Current conditions**: Good weather with no rain or wind during his indoor confinement, which he finds ironic. He describes this as forced stillness and an integration practice for the physical transformation that occurred during his hiking period.
