So, today is No Comic Day and No Work Day. Why? Because of
BACK-OUT '98
Yes, I'm well aware it's the year 2007. But for some reason, it's still Back-Out '98. Maybe I'm just generally 9 years behind (or, would that be ahead?). So what's the status? Well, yesterday I woke up virtually unable to move which was worse than even when it first started. However, this must have been due to inflammation or muscle tightness or something, because I eventually got a hot water bottle and that loosened me right up. I still can't bend and there are occasional pains from moving, but I'm not virtually immobile. (However, sitting long periods is a pain, which is why this is being written in small bits, followed by lying down). So I skipped work, and no comics. I'm optimisticly hoping to be okay for work Friday, and then pick up comics after that, but really, who knows? Cross fingers, and send healing vibes through the net if you can. I can walk with decent speed, but I find that I'm Dune Walking. That is, as the title implies, I seem to walk without rhythm. This means that, were I on Arrakis, I would probably be able to cross desert areas without being swallowed by Sandworms. Sadly, I'm on Earth, which just means I look a little odd. Luckily, nobody's watching.
Anyway, what else, besides the back? Well, there are books, I guess. Since I'm lying down a lot I've been doing a bit more reading than I normally do at home - since getting up to check the net is no longer an instant reflex when TV gets boring, having a book is helpful.
So, Book Foo!

And in the 'weirdness' category? Anyone remember that the window in my room had a crack in it when we moved in, and they said there was a work order? Then after 3 months of keeping the path clear without hearing anything, I rearranged my room?. So today they showed up. With no warning. While my back was hurt. So we had to take down all the coverings in the window and move the bed out of the way. I also stepped on something sharp that was on the ground and hurt my foot a little. All that's not that weird (at least, not for me). The weird thing is, immediately after all that was done? My back got better. Not 100%, but better than it had been since it got hurt. If it improves any more, I think I'd be okay to work (though slowly) Friday.
