I know i have not been around much. what's been going on with me? Well i hurt my back about 8 weeks ago, it started with the diagnosed as just a back sprain. as it turns out it's had some complications. Basically have had some regression on and off with it, and i think after seeing an ART (Active Release Technology) specialist, it's finally starting to be on a permanent upward turn. Been a pain in the ass. Had to stop running, stop tai chi, started dipping in the last 12 days because no pain meds were working (but that's going to end again, i had not dipped more than 1 time since January, had been at almost 2 cans a day).

major hit, not a whole lot of shit has gone right this year so far but the couple things that were going better did take a massive hit with all this shit. oh well, c'est la vie.

so all that did kind of lead into some minor depression (sleeping a lot and pissed).

other than that, i sometimes feel like i'm going insane with the shit i want to be doing (writing, running, reading, drinking, sekzing, etc) and what I have to do (working). Summer is always hard down here it seems, cause even to this day I am not used to working a serious 7-4 40hr week...

oh right, i hurt my back falling out a truck. was alone, had about 50lbs of cable converters in my arms (in a box) when my foot slipped off right as my left foot was about to come up. caught myself with my left arm and held the weight with my right as my shoulders basically went perpendicular to my hips. Was sore the next day then felt a pinch and huge amount of pain about 30 mins into actually working.

the up side of all this...i guess that workers comp is covering most the Dr stuff (the ART specialist is all me though), unfortunately all the time it's taking to get better is my personal sick/vacation time. meh. that's whats up with me, what you guys doing?
