If it ain’t broke…
I stayed up to watch the baseball last night in a vain hope that A-Rod would finally score his 600th Home-run ... he didn't and I subsequently overslept until an unlawful hour. Upon waking I discovered that not only was my back killing me, my body had gone into full rejection mode of being alive.
Then a succession of things to bring my frame of mind into being extremely pissed off began...
The flights I tried to book last night to get home in September had jumped from £36 to £107 ...
Ryan Air have ceased to operate from Västerås as of the end of October...
American Express and HSBC have cocked up my Direct Debits... Again...
I upgraded LoLyfe.com's theme only to realise it cocked up all the content...
The only good thing to happen today was that I watched a tremendously funny Korean flick called Jeon Woo Chi: The Taoist Wizard, and that made up for a lot of shit...
But for chrissakes... all this things could have been avoided if everyone had followed the Golden Rule:
If It Ain't Broke - Don't Fix It...
Just got an Email from Yankees.com to say that A-Rod hit the 600th homer... sheesh...
New Head
Is what I'm in the market for...
I had a trip out to see my new Doctor this morning. I've had a bit of a problem with the old tinnitus for the last few months and it's been driving me slowly insane. I thought that there might have been a massive medical advancement in the treatment of this misunderstood condition, but to my dismay I found that before that it could even be investigated I had to have the ear, nose and throat infections removed from my noggin before he would even entertain the thought of poking about in my ears.
With all the things he found wrong, I thought it best to make further appointments to chat about the ongoing issues with my back and the fact that the Health Insurance people are breathing down my neck, and not in a nice way...
2010 … another good year …
My relief at getting back home after a dismal Christmas was extremely short lived. Firstly, I arrived back to a car under about 5 feet of snow - which was made worse by the snow plough driver who decided the back of my car was the best place to pile the snow he'd been moving. I don't own a snow shovel, so I had to make do with my hands and various implements that became handy - like milk cartons.
My first attempt at getting the car out was a bit pathetic really. I managed to clear the sides, get in the car and get it started and sat there for a few minutes trying to regain the feeling in my fingers. After a while I began to get a bit woozy and discovered that I was sitting in a car quickly filling with exhaust fumes. Upon investigation I found that as I had cleared the sides of the car and not the back, I had created a little hollow in which the car was sitting, no air was being let out from under the car, including the exhaust emissions which had little else choice but to rise up into the car itself.
After sorting that out I was pretty knackered and my back had pretty much given up on me, so I decided to take a short break ...
Back … Again
I naturally assumed that as I'd done more than my fair share of exercise over the past month or so, traipsing around the Philippines and Hong Kong, that my body would be up for a decent workout. So on Monday, before my restart at the physio, I did a good hour or so in the gym. However, when I woke up yesterday I was not so pleasantly met with a gnats more than excruciating back pain.
This isn't anything new really, but what I wasn't ready for was the the utter agony when I tried to get to sleep last night. I finally drifted off at about 7am this morning through exhaustion and had to get up again at 9 for another visit to the physio. Suffice to say, I didn't bother with the workout today ...
I've been doing a little bit of work over at LoLyfe.com (AardvarkAsia | The Geekdom Incursive) trying to get things streamlined and together ready for attempts at a re-launch effort to get some revenue in. It's a long old task but kind of fun, but what I've noticed is that my hands are not up to task as much as they used to be. So I slipped out to MediaMarkt to see if I could find an ergonomic mouse... Microsoft do one, but it's 60 frickin' quid!! Think I'll suffer for a month or so....
I'm planning a night in with some Lesbians
