Riding Rough Shod

ROUGHSHOD
I think I'm going through caffine and sugar withdrawal. I was thinking it was just sugar this morning when I woke with a full head headache then I started thinking that I hadn't had any caffine for a day and that probably feeds the pain. Yesterday I went without sugar for the first time in I don't know how long. I didn't realize it until this morning when I tried to figure out why my head hurt so bad. I didn't put a little sugar into my morning cereal yesterday nor honey in my tea for the second half of the day. I have stopped the chemical sweetners for some time now. Then I started to realize that I had no caffine yesterday and that must assuredly add to the stress on the body. I did have a balance bar yesterday and that must have some kind of sweetner in it. Oh well. High fructose corn syrup I bet.

I have been watching a lot of the "Dog Whisperer" in the last 10 days. I have been seeing my self as pack leader over the body. It is an easy analogy for me right now. When I walked I saw that I am whole. I am the god and I have allowed my body to rule me, I want to write "let my body run roughshod over me." I'm looking up the origin of roughshod. It's so graphic.

adj 1: (of a horse) having horseshoes with projecting nails to
prevent slipping

So, it's a deliberate thing in horses. I must call it a deliberate thing in the human usage too.

To ride roughshod, to pursue a course regardless of the
pain or distress it may cause others.

I add to that, the damage it may cause to yourself.

SHODDILY ROUGH



Now I must know where shoddy came from as opposed to shod. Which brings us to
SHODDY
Noun 1. shoddy - reclaimed wool fiber
wool - fiber sheared from animals (such as sheep) and twisted into yarn for weaving


Another thing I had no idea of when I sat down to write this today.
