It's been a few weeks since posting; still not getting any better at it, I'm afraid. The last couple of weeks we have had intermittent rain, and as a consequence I have been laid up with constant sciatica and muscle spasms. Makes for poor sleeping, and when I do get any energy it is put into housework and yardwork during the brief times when the pain abates.
I had some major yardwork done a few days ago; two of my trees in front needed pruned badly, and I also had a large pine removed from the front yard.

Looks like the economy is still circling the drain; between the idiots in the Whitehouse, and the ones in Congress and the Senate, I think we are in for a rough time in the next few years.

Time for the yearly trip to the arts festival; we like going up in the late morning, and have lunch at Wasatch Brewery; they have good brew and great beer-battered fish and chips.
I'll probably have to take my cane (have used one at times for several years now) and walk slow, but I enjoy getting up there anyway.
About time to go pick a few tomatoes and then spend some time with a heating pad on my back. Hope to get back sooner with my next post.

The definitive version of Foxy Lady included Garth from Wayne's World. Just sayin'.
hope your back gets better
I have been having some back and neck pain this week and it's bad today. Too much time hunched over a computer at work, I think. And I was feeling so sorry for myself until I realized others, like you, live with it on a chronic basis. At least I know mine will ease up and isn't aggravated by the weather.
Enjoy the Arts Festival!
Nice t see you blog again. Is it the humidity that causes your sciatica to flare up?
Borepatch: I never was a big fan of Wayne's World, I'm afraid.
Kenny: the same for you; it's nasty, isn't it?
Terri: it could be worse; I have a couple of acquaintances with rheumatoid arthritis, and I can't even imagine what they go through every day.
Comrade Misfit: humidity doesn't affect it at all. In my case the main culprit is air pressure change, which happens quite a bit around rain and thunder storms.
I really hope you feel better and get a decent night's sleep SOON.
My favorite on the list is: "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol
How are you doin? Hope your feeling okay :)
