Guys! What the heck, man? Do things just automatically start malfunctioning once you hit a certain age? This is bogus! I’m just now coming up for air after having back issues for the last 3 weeks. I barely made it to my parents place over the Labor Day holiday weekend and spent most of the time I was there in bed, swapping out cold packs and heating pads. I was surprised I was able to fly up there and back. I think I only managed by being strapped up with a back support, pulled tight, lol!

At first I thought I just threw my back out, but then one leg above the knee went numb, like it’s been shot up with novocain. That’s supposedly indicative of a pinched nerve. I got x-rays and I might have 2-3 herniated discs. I’ve been going to a chiropractor once a week the last couple of weeks and it’s helped a little. 

I was supposed to get an MRI this morning to confirm/disprove the x-ray reading, but there was an issue with my crappy insurance so I had to reschedule..unless I wanted to pay $510. Yeah, now I have to call my insurance Monday, grrrrr. Maybe the chiropractor will fix me and I don’t have to get it done. Fingers-crossed!

Dealing with this since late August suuuucks.

Look, in my head I’m an immature kid. In reality, I’m just old and shit is starting to break down. The real world is literally a pain and no fun.

Other stuff going on- work still sucks. I worked from 4:20am thru about 7:30pm the other day (can’t bring myself to put in for OT). I DID however take a break from 2pm-3:30pm to go get my 6-month teeth cleaning done. Long lunch, I guess.

The black kitten is, in my opinion, grossly obese and it’s my fault for giving in to him. I’m working on getting his weight down though. His head looks so tiny on his fat body! I guess we’re all “curvy” in this house, lol! Not like I can go to the gym at the moment and wow, I’m kinda hungry. Ha!

I bought them (the cats) the new Chewy Goody Box for Halloween and it came this morning! They went crazy and love everything in it, especially the little pop-up tent with the dangling toy.

Oh, when I was in the boarding line to come home from my parents’ house, I looked-up and saw Jeremy Renner in line a few people ahead of me. He looks really healthy and was super nice to people. I mean, he was on a budget airline and didn’t have any kind of entourage. He seemed like a really cool dude.

That reminds me, I need to book a roundtrip flight and take it before Nov 30th so I can keep my preferred boarding status on said budget airline. Maybe I’ll go to Vegas and turn around and come back before I have a chance to lose any money!

Well, we’re getting into fall and I’m excited! Cooler weather is (hopefully) coming! I need to start looking for a showing of Stop Making Sense next week. I hope it shows around here!

Well, I should go clean the kitchen. Boooo.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!
