Just sitting here with the heating pad and a margarita. Back isn't getting any better, but I have found that internal applications of alcohol seem to help.

Didn't peg you for a tequila guy Terry. I didn't even know you could buy tequila in Maine. Glad to know it's helping though :dunce:

Busy morning! Got in my 5K training @ 5AM, already showered and dressed, kids are changed and fed, laundry is going, and the dishes are washed. :D Going to head out soon to a playground for a bit of fun with the kids and a picnic lunch.

Taking profits from shorting euro, buying back euros. Quiet weekend ahead, BBQ, bike rides, tiling table top, hot tubbin.

Got a good deal on slate tile and some other decorative tile for the deck table. They had a clearance sale area that was poorly marked and the manager rolled over on the lowball offer I made. Got about 150 worth of tile for 60, stoked......

eatin homemade enchiladas and drinking a fruity frozen daiquiri.

Sitting here drinking coffee and putting the heating pad to my back again. My left lower back and hip is like in a constant cramp and my lower left leg is asleep most of the time. I am scheduled for an epidural steroid injection monday afternoon. Hopefully it works as good as last time.

Listening to the kids fight and counting down the seconds until it's time to go drop them off at Grandma's house for the next 30 hours or so.

Been up for a bit .. I think I have recovered from multiple wasp stings to my back .. bugger flew up under my T and could that thing off fast enough when it started stinging me .. I woke up earlier in a night sweat .. don't know if it was because of the stings..

Jerry really sorry to hear that man ! Bee stings can be very bad news i had a friend have a hornets nest fallon him while painting under a soffit area -- he needed serious anti-histimine shots to counteract the venom

Did you try any OTC antihistimines ? If you are still bothered this am get to a doc




My hand swelling was OVER the next day with no other issues -- Benadryl took care of it

Hope that things get better for you

Warp ( still a little groggy this am from last nites party :D ) getting ready for round 2 tonite but will SWEAT out some beer toxins :D on the golf course in an hr

Some folks can have nasty reactions to bee stings. Sounds like the worst is over, but depending on age and health you might want to get a sting kit to keep in the frig, just in case. Speaking of bees and wasps/hornets, has anyone else noticed an increased variety of these critters? I've lived in my house for 16 yrs. and there are genuses/ varieties I've never seen before.
On topic, I was up early, rode the bike for about an hour and then it started drizzlin. Stopped off for a DD coffee and now I'm posting and have no plans. Been working on a camping/canoe trip email list with my friend, we're shooting for early sept for 4-5 days outing.

Just watched a program on the Travel Channel about a restaurant in NYC called Megu. Japanese style, very high end, Kobe is the specialty. I'm heading to the store to get filet ground up for tartare, I just got an overwhelming urge. :)

Found a drill bit that I forgot about that saws tile and sawed the 2 tiles in half that I needed to get started with the adhesive and grouting. Saved myself the expense of a diamond blade and the trip to the hardware store. Now I need a stint of good weather before I start gluing the tiles. Back inside munching on steak tartare on rye bread....yum.
