Catching Up...

So there I was. Last weekend, bending over to pick up our FAC (Fat Attack Cat) and throwing out my back in the process... sigh

Since I was in the National Guard I've had occasional back problems and know all the "lift with your legs" things, but this was just a CAT (well kind of a dog sized cat, but still...). I'm laying on the ground, pain shooting up and down my back and legs, barely able to move and the damn cat just sat there and gave me that, "Stupid human..." look. Stupid cat... :/

Needless to say I've been pretty much bedridden this past week, just able to hobble to the computer to put in some work hours toward in the last couple days.

I'm getting better, even though I am a DAM (Dumb Ass Male) and didn't go to the Doctor this time (I had drugs left over from previous times which had not expired, so why go to someone who's going to tell me what I already know; that I'm fat, getting older, to lift with my legs, do back exercises, get into better shape, etc, etc?)

IN ANY CASE, I'm now catching up with my feed reading (only about 7K+ posts to read  ;) and see it's been an interesting week. Looks like a bunch of cool stuff has been happened, so please don't be surprised at the number of posts today and tomorrow...
