But I didn't forget altogether. Things were just very busy this weekend, & when Tuesday rolled around, I was in a pretty vegetative state. So, since I just got back from band practice & feeling kinda tired, I'll make this just a quick recap post.

Trying To Get Back On Track
When I started this, I made a commitment to myself to post once a week. It only took me a few months to break that commitment & skip a week. Once I start slipping, it's very easy for me to fall into a habit of doing so. I want to get back to the schedule that I intended to have. So consider this my first step. I originally planned on doing this over the weekend, figuring that's when I would have the most time. I learned early, that was a poor assumption. But, Tuesday nights however, are full of free time. Mostly because I'm by myself. Every Tuesday, Liz volunteers at the Orange County Ronald McDonald House. So, I find it an easy night to catch up on different things. Now, I'll use part of it to get this barely read blog back on schedule. For this week, I'll just fill it up with some random updates.
Health update first. All better. The pain lasted about a week, like the doctor said it would. If that could never happen again, I'd be very thankful.

Also saw some Gawdawful movies at the most recent Bad Movie Night. It was a zombie double feature. The official remake of Day of the Dead, & the unofficial sequel to the original, Dawn of the Dead 2: Contagium. I won't bother trying to describe them, because no one should ever see them. Unless your like me & enjoy self-torture through cinematic equivilant of red hot pokers to the eyes & ears.
Almost finished with my annual classic novel reading. This year I chose "Uncle Tom's Cabin." And while trying to stay out of territory that no white man is safe, I'll just say this. I think using "Uncle Tom" as an insult, is very ignorant. Made by people who never actually read the book & understood who Tom really was. He held many characteristics I would be proud to share.
I think that's good enough for a comeback. Covered a lot of things In quick, easy to swallow bites. Now, let's see if I can keep it up. Until next week(?).

"Do You Smoke Cocaine?"
That was one of the fun questions I got to answer Saturday morning, by a very helpful person from Kaiser Permanente. Why would they be asking me such a question? Well, somehow on Friday, I managed to pull a muscle in my ribcage. At first, it felt like a small painful twinge when I would yawn, or take a deep breath. But, by 5am Saturday, it felt like someone was stabbing me in the ribs every time I attempted to inhale. And, do mean attempt. Breathing was not it's usual "take for granted something I do everday" thing at that time. I had to concentrate to keep my breathing steady. My head was telling my body, "Breathe dammit! I need oxygen!!" While my body was screaming back, "Screw you brain! It hurts when I do that!! I'll give you little shallow ones, & you're just gonna hafta make due with those." Well, that just was gonna do. I had to call the after hours "Nurse Help Line" to get some help. I tried to have Liz deal with them, because talking wasn't all that fun either. But, they needed to ask me questions, including whether or not I smoked crack. Then, I had to wait another 2 hours before I could go to Urgent Care to see a doctor. But, by then, the 800 mgs of ibuprofen I had taken had kicked in. It still hurt, but at least I was able to breathe normally again. She told me it was a muscle pull. Not really anything you can do for that, other than give ya more ibuprofen. Can't really rest that muscle, because that would entail not breathing, & doctor's can't really recommend that. So, that's where things stand now. But, there's nothing like starting your weekend at the doctor's office. Good times...
