  • Really?

    So, yeah... fun times in the neighborhood! I've not really been doing much since my last entry... Been trying to recover a bit from Friday and Saturday. It may seem like a complete joke, but if things keep going the way they are, I may have to give up driving. You wouldn't think that driving would have such an impact on your back, but think about it... When you back up, what move must you do to ensure that you don't hit anyone or anything behind you? And when you change lanes, it's a good idea to check your blind spots, but what do you have to do in order to do that? Twisting hurts. I even lifted my butt up and tried to angle myself so I could back out. Only ended up hurting myself a bit more.

    Then Saturday, I went out with my mom and the Boots Lady (aka: Nani, my grandmother). We don't even hit the first store before I feel the spasms in my lower back. After a couple minutes, I was okay, or so I thought. Then we went to Kohls to see what kind of deals we could get. My mom and I needed a new bra or two so we hit the lingerie section. (And, you know, for being average for once, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack!) So, not only am I stooping/kneeling trying to find something to try on, I'm twisting and turning trying them on. The pissy thing about it all is I couldn't find something I really liked... If I had, it would have been worth all the contorting and stuff.

    The thing that really bothers me about the whole thing is how my 90-years-young grandmother can move better than me! (And after having a minor stroke back in 2008 too...) And I hate being petty, but what the crap? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? But, apparently, there is nothing wrong with me... Right... Maybe I need to take the lady with me when I go see the ortho doc. Then ask him to explain it.

    Hmmm... what else... Oh, I have started that book, Calling in "The One". It's pretty interesting. I've got the first two days down; 47 to go... I didn't do any Yoga or anything this weekend or today; I'm just being lazy today. It's all rainy and dreary out today; it's hard to get the motivation to do something productive. That's about it for today... guess I'll go find something to get into...

    Until next time... CIAO!
