Thoracic, yeah!
Dooby doooby dooooo, I have back pain,
Dee, dee, de dah daaaaaaah, they give me drugs....
Yeah. Back. Upper back. Issues that are thoracic in nature... Usually found in much older people. Hmmm. Essentially, one or some of my discs don't like my spine so much. They are trying to escape. The attempted escape was discovered last Friday, though I suspect the planning had been going on much, much longer. Yes. So. Due to my continuing pain, I decided it best to go to the docs. With all the cancellations from people afraid to venture out on this snow day, I was able to sneak into my doctor's office this morning. She offered me multiple drugs and a referral to the Physical Therapist. Once again, due to the snow day effect, I was able to see the PT this afternoon. She can't offer drugs, so instead I got some instructions for home work as well as more scheduled PT. One particular exercise I call the "scared turtle." I think she called it "retraction." Yeah. She didn't like the prospect of me flying right now either, airplane seats being among the worst... not to mention the delay to her treatment plan for me. Let's just say I have some interesting looking exercises to do until I see her again. Oh, and lots of sitting up straight with proper lumber support.
Do you think it's weird to eat lunch at a nice restaurant with your V.P. while a towel is rolled up behind you? Nah.

for the moment
So, it's snowing. And not a little either. It will probably be gone this afternoon. But for now, it is snowing.

craZy making
Trust in Steel asked a very important question regarding my hypothetical ability to steal light a la Dumbledore*. And I quote, ahem: "Define productive - would you have cultivated your powers for good or evil?"
I must say, about two hours ago I would have been more than tempted to use them for what can be seen as good or evil. I would call it good. Others would not. You see, about two hours ago I hit hour 6.5 in meetings today. And none of that meeting time was actually in, what you might call, person. At this point in the evening (5:00pm) I had been on one call for 3 hours. Three hours. I had to switch my headset to give my left ear a rest. I would have used Dumbledore's power at that point. I could have shut the building down, thus ending my call.

Alas, just a muggle.
Leaving work this evening a light post went out just as I approached the boundary of light and dark. The light frontier, you might say. Anyway, walking under the darkened lamp I felt like Dumbledore, stealing light so no curious muggle could see what I was up to. I admit I was a little disappointed when no other light posts followed suit.

look while you can... madness!
Got a hair cut yesterday. As I'm too lazy to actually do anything requiring effort to my hair in the morning I'd say I'm pretty lucky to have some curl.
over and out.
Yeah, so. I currently have 4 separate containers of cookies, three of those being open and all from before Christmas. I don't go through cookies quickly. Cookie dough, however, I fly through. This little bit of self-discovery occurred this weekend. Just so we're clear: cookies: meh... cookie dough: yes, please.
