Word of the Day

Erdoo - Small droppings left after trying to erase something.

I've been dealing with a bad back since yesterday afternoon. A sciatica thing. Happens sometimes. HTP asked me what I did to "throw my back out". If I knew that, I wouldn't have done that thing and he wouldn't be asking me what I'd done. I won't be so ridiculous as to say that I hate pain because only a masochist doesn't hate pain. But I really hate it when there really isn't anything that can be done about it but just sit there, or lay there, or just endure. It's starting to improve but I'm rather frustrated by it. Pain always frustrates me for the very reason that sometimes there's just nothing you can do about it. So, I've been doing my back stretching exercises which I know will help...eventually... and I've been laying about like a slug...which also helps. On the plus side, I got to read a really good book whilst laying about like a slug. I did bottle my first batch of blackberry wine. I have to clean out my freezer but that will have to wait until tomorrow. My sister called to let me know that she's sending over some frozen venison. She wanted to know how much I wanted. So? Time to clean the freezer. Gotta make some room. But, as I said, I'll wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow, my back will be better...or it won't...but at least I'll give it one more night because I absolutely refuse to lay about like a slug for any longer than that.

The Last Law

If several things that could have gone wrong have not gone wrong, it would have been ultimately beneficial for them to have gone wrong.
