Walk gingerly and don't clean the litter box

I had to put the walking on hold, since my back is worse. I don’t think the walking did it, I think it was bending down to clean out the cat littler box. Some postures are just killer on your spine. Anyway, it’s been hurting a lot worse for about 4 days now and I had to leave work early on Saturday. When you can’t sit or stand comfortably there’s not much option but to go home and lie down.

Anyway, thank goodness I’m pain free when I lie down, and thank goodness I have my laptop. I’ve been working on a project for Pernell Robert’s birthday celebrations on the forum. I guess there’s no harm in telling the handful of people who read my blog about it, it’ll still be a surprise on the forum. It’s crazy…I’ve never used Movie Maker or edited mp3 audio files, but that is what I’m doing. I’m making a video birthday tribute. So here I am, a complete greenhorn and with a three-week deadline!! Am I crazy or what?!? But I’ve got the first 1/5 of it done and one minute I think it’s brilliant and one minute I think it’s crap. Well, it’s the thought that counts, right? Er, you bet it is! lol!

Saw my new little great-niece on Sunday. I took over a few groceries to help out but they look like they have everything under control. She a cute’n but then again, all babies are. I couldn’t hold her for long because, natch, my back was aching since holding a baby is also a bad thing posture-wise.

I have a post down below about gratitude, and I’m certainly trying to practice it now. Yes my back hurts but at least I can walk around, I’m not confined in bed and I’m certainly not paralysed. I’m lucky, really.
