So there I was playing the Mouse Game with Loki this morning when my old back let out a very loud scream and I knew that I had DONE IT AGAIN. Goddam it. I never put my back out when I’m doing something stupid like lifting heavy objects. It’s always while doing something silly like bending over to pick up a mouse.

Anyhoodle, it’s not as bad as at other times – no need for crutches to get around – but man it hurts. I was thinking it might be better to invent a different game to occupy Loki and Luna, like the one in the pic, but tossing the mouse up the stairs is such good exercise for them, and usually doesn’t do me any harm.

And so today I am taking it easy, though making sure to move around enough so that things don’t seize up. I have to be better for my Flamenco & Tapas Tour tomorrow evening…

How are you guys?
