back-pain

Oh my fuck but it hurts!!!

I had spent yesterday morning lazily hanging out and then around noon decided to shower and get dressed to go out, as it was such a beautiful looking day out there. So I got into the shower and somewhere between then and drying myself my lower back went aaacck! Note that it wasn’t any specific movement – or even a specific moment – but over the next few minutes I went from having a painful twinge in my back to almost screaming in agony and not being able to walk or even stand up straight.  And that’s pretty much how it was for the rest of the day. . .

Going back to pilates class today!

After having been back to thrice-weekly (Mon-Wed-Fri) yoga classes since the beginning of January, I’ve decided to take the plunge and also go back to doing pilates classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

So today I will have my first pilates class since last April.
Will let you know how it goes …

do the shuffle

Anyone else get an awful earworm from the title?

As I previously mentioned over here, I’ve opted to start off small in the world of mp3 players and bought this wee shuffle . . . mostly because it was on sale for only 45€ but also because it’s perfect for taking to the gym (I can clip it on my t-shirt sleeve) and meanwhile I can also see how much digital music I have, or have access to, and can better judge what size ipod nano I’ll eventually need/want. Though I’m already thinking that even 8GB is going to be smallish.

And so, after spending almost half an hour getting the damn thing out of the factory-sealed packaging f_cross.gif, and then figuring out how to get a few tunes on it, I tried out my cute silver shuffle for the first time when I went out to a class late yesterday afternoon. And . . . OMG! It’s a whole other world out there! I had no idea how wonderful it would be. Though there is a tendency to half-walk half-dance down the street and I have to take extra care looking out for traffic, as well as not singing along. But it’s very cool! f_cool.gif

Later on today will be the real test. I’ve downloaded a podcast of the News Quiz , which I love and haven’t heard for ages, so we’ll see if this keeps me going on the Dreaded Elliptical Machine for half an hour.
