Back Slow Down

 


I went to the dentist yesterday and when I sat down in the chair, I Want to be Sedated came on the speaker. Rather ironic, because first of all I was just there for a cleaning, and second of all I don't get sedated whether it's a filling or a root canal. 

I went to the chiropractor Thursday evening and I'm going again this morning due to a serious bout of sciatica. I'm not sure what brought it on, but I imagine it was a result of many things rather than one single thing. I'm pretty sure there was no way out of this other than professional help. This one isn't the sharp, stabbing pains I've had in the past, but it was keeping me from getting a decent night's sleep. Should be back to normal, for better or worse, in a couple of days.

I bought some shelves for the basement that I'll tackle soon. I want to move some things around so I can get a jig saw and a "baby" milling machine set up down there. Rather than irritate my back or chest, I'll wait and get some help on that. 

I need to replace some siding on the dormer. I didn't realize it was that bad until I was up there a few days ago. I'm going to have to give that a few days until I tackle that also.

Still need the radiator replaced in the tractor also. The weather's been nice, but that can change at any time now.
