9081 – mon
back to work….feeling better enough to get to where I need to go. Got my Secret Santa Assignment. Not picking it up tonight, but soon. Today started slow going, but hourly stretches are helping a lot. Not so bad, once I showered and headed out the door. No drugs stronger than ibuprofen until I got home… have to stay sharp while on the job.

9080 – Sunday
Spent the day pretty much on my back or in a chair, semi-stupefied by painkillers. I seem to do better when I’m moving around a little bit… after 8 hours in bed, getting up first thing in the morning can be quite difficult, at best. After making my way to the shower, I loosened up considerably.
Watched some TV and played some Wii… that’s about all. We started to watch The Number 23, but we sacked it 35 minutes in. No point in wasting any more time… the thing just couldn’t take off…

If you look at the “things in jars” link in Kevin’s post, you might be sorry. I’m not. Lore also put me on to The Superest –
The Superest is a continually running game of My Team, Your Team. The rules are simple:
Player 1 draws a character with a power. Player 2 then draws a character whose power cancels the power of that previous character. Repeat.
best read from the very beginning.

Looks like permanent accounts will still be good, at least for the moment. Still, LJ-archive is handy, in case a person wants to jump ship with comments and links intact… or Blog2Blog, if they don’t mind losing comments while sliding from point to point.
Speaking of Easter Decorations at Christmastime (well, I was, yesterday) Looks like Melting Bunny is making the rounds. Waste of a perfectly good trio of chocolate bunnies, if you ask me, dear journal.

Nice morning, until I got out of bed, and pulled my back. At that point, I was in extreme pain and after much shrieking and frightening BHK, I took a shower to loosen up a little bit and went to urgent care. I’d say it took me about 45 minutes to work out how to walk from bed to the shower…the pain was pretty significant. Agony is a good word, that sounds about right.
Needless to say, I missed my allergy shots. I get to call on Monday to see what I can do about rescheduling.
After…

I’m officially a year into Maryland. It surely doesn’t seem that long. I haven’t ventured outside of the immediate region of MD / DC / VA since then. I’d like to do a deeper tour of outer-edge day trip plans. Places like Philadelphia, Boston and New York aren’t too far out for a little getaway. BHK and I still plan on taking a little journey through a bit of American history by way of National Treasure… possibly taking Adam along if he would like and has the time.
I’ve been to the Natural…

Watched some TV and played some Wii… that’s about all. We started to watch The Number 23, but we sacked it 35 minutes in. No point in wasting any more time… the thing just couldn’t take off for us. That’s pretty sad – I’ve always liked the 23 enigma. The narrative and the acting didn’t go with my aching back and sleepy head.
BHK kept an eye on me for most of the day, but went off with her folks to decorate the blue house, for the holidays – they got rained out before making it back to our HQ. Looks like our lights may be going up next weekend.
There’s a real chance of snow next week! I hope it’s the good kind… no trouble with traffic, just pretty.
My eyes have been forming tears quite a bit lately. I wonder if there’s something in the air, or if it’s just an unconscious reaction to the pain?
Minor grinchiness… Please stop trotting out Easter stuff during the Christmas Season. I don’t need to see the symbol of Crucifixion next to a little baby in a manger. How about celebrating one miracle at a time, eh? Come back with that crown of thorns stuff in March or April. Maybe that’s just my quirk… I know that I don’t mind the secular stuff, like Santa in the Manger. Santa on the cross is pretty dang tacky.

After getting looked at, I was given a ‘scrip for an anti-inflammatory and a narcotic to knock me out for when I got home. The 800 mg of Ibuprofen given to me took quite a bit of the edge off, as did the change in position from sitting to standing. I was feeling good enough to grab a bite to eat and a haircut… Ledo’s calzone for me, and BHK nom nom’ed on some tortellini. We shared the spicy ravioli appetizer… probably the highlight of the meal.
Seen in the parking lot, after my trip to ouchie-land: if clicked and embiggened – License plate reads “Sons Confederate Veterans “
How do those folks rate a plate? I guess money talks. It is interesting to note that they don’t want any connection to the KKK around the Confederacy… The sad fact is that when I see a confederate southern cross “battle flag“, whatever else has happened, I assume the worst. Despite the wealth of history and culture… it just smacks of white supremacist behavior to me. I have to wonder if the owners of such plates get into or out of more scrapes with other people… Is a police officer more or less likely to give a ticket instead of a warning? If they drive through different parts of town, do folks cheer or give him the finger?
I wonder the same about pro-life or pro-choice bumper stickers and plates, too.
First Christmas Present arrived… From Kev, via Amazon (His isn’t due to arrive in Guantanamo until after his item is released on the 18th… not telling what it is here, in case he reads this. I haven’t peeked at the invoice, so my present is a surprise, too.
Rested at the in-laws – Chinese food and we watched Flyboys. Not a bad flick. It fed my desire to see biplanes vs triplanes in arial combat, so there you go. I was pleased to see a zeppelin, disappointed that they took a huge pile of liberties with history. (I didn’t mind that so many “Red Barons” were there… but it was pretty goofy from a historical context)
