Tis the season to especially watch what we eat... starting with Halloween, a couple birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the holiday parties, News Years Eve, the Sunday football parties and all the while being less active since the sun, "it aint shining" after 5 PM.
Oh well.
I am able to sit upright for a few minutes today, the first time since hurting my back early Sunday morning. I wasn't doing much, just lifting a heavy chair with a swivel base over a door threshold when the chair swiveled, twisting my back with it. I saw the usual stars and ended up on the floor. Sigh, I think this is about 5th or 6th time this has happened. Once I was shovelling snow and turned to throw the snow on to the bank ... and down I went.
After I can tolerate standing a bit, I know I will have to walk (slowly) for a ways, perhaps 2-3 miles, for all the muscles back there (I mean "all" collectively, not "all" like in incredible Hulk massive!) to warm up, loosen up and ease the pull on the lower spine. After that, I'm good to go, until I twist it again. I've become very very careful... this last time was an unexpected accident.
Anywaysy, its back to the prone position. I've made a dent in my backlog of stuff to read, I might even have to go through with the paying the bills to keep from totally being bored silly.
Found a couple websites (blogs) that I enjoyed...
http://queenscrap.blogspot.com/ which is, loosely, a political activism blog against over-development in Queens borough (one of the 5 boroughs that make up New York City)
and
http://www.newyorkshitty.com/ which is about a Brooklyn woman that crusades against the trash, poop, and other ugliness that city dwellers are forced to put up with (including scum that masterbate while riding the subways). Her "tirades" against vinyl siding, dog poop and the like are, in my opinion, humorous, marvelously written (the tongue in cheek stuff is superb!) and well directed.
All for your consideration. I am tempted to start one called Philthy-delphia... but nah, that would be far too easy.

Hope you can get that walk done soon. I'm sure it'll be a lot more comfortable for you when those muscles loosen up.

I loved this routine - Both the Abbott and Costello and the Three Stooges versions. :-) Now everytime I turn... I'll be thinking "Niagara Falls!"
