Welcome to Today

I'm doing a little better in my back. I twisted a little yesterday and got a good pop of release. It's still a little sore, but I got to go to the gym last night, and did a half regimen. Then I slept pretty well last night.

Aside from a zombiepocalypse dream which made me a little paranoid this morning.

Right now, I'm just trying to sit up straight and not put too much pressure on the back.

In other news, this is cool.

Then there's the Dyson Fan.

The description of how it works is a little hard to understand.... Until James Dyson himself describes it.

Making Cents

Ow.

So, my back still hurts. I did sleep better last night, but sitting is not a happy thing, and laying on my right side is all there is for relief. But the background pain is distracting me.

Last night I had a salad with tuna. I opened the can, got the tuna out, and then threw the can away, and cut myself on the edge of the lid. Jagged metal cuts bleed quite a bit by the way.

Anyway, this cut is on the tip of my left thumb and is perpendicular to my thumbnail. About twenty years ago, I nearly cut the tip of the same thumb off while cutting lemons at Sizzler. So I have this nearly complete circular scar on the tip of that thumb. Now I have a line that bisects it. If the new cut scars, it will look like I have a cent symbol on the tip of my thumb.

Oy, My Aching Back

I have hurt myself somehow.

Monday I woke up in slight pain; floating somewhere between my lower left rib and the top rear of my pelvis. It wasn't too bad until I got to work. Then it just got worse.

Last night sitting watching football was difficult, and despite aspirin, a Biofreeze rub, and two Valerian root pills, I had a difficult night of sleep. I have taken to sleeping on my left side so as not to snore, but I ended up being on my back most of the night. It was better, but nowhere near comfortable.

This morning it was no better, so I went in for a chiropractic adjustment. That helped some, and if I'm not better in a couple days, I am to go back. Then this afternoon, I went in for a massage. He said it wasn't the sciatic nerve because the pain is too high up; so it's probably just a pulled muscle.

I'll go to the gym this evening, and at least do a little workout. Just so I'm not a total lump.
