my back has basically been shit for over 20 years now. so, i have learned a few tricks along the way on how to cope when my bad back decides it doesn't want to cooperate. first, plenty of ice. i mean, i made my room last night basically an ice box. AC running and my fan running as well. that helped some. stretching is a necessity. when my back is barking, i try to do it slow and deliberate. same with walking. if i can walk long enough, the back seems to loosen up and the pain dies down. now, the problem is, that pain always comes back. mom asked earlier if i wanted some Tylenol. i told her no, because i end up having to take 6 to even touch the pain. i'll just stick to Jack Daniels. and that boys and girls is why i doubt i will live a long life. of course, the state of Ohio could just make marijuana legal and then maybe i can be as close to pain free as i have been since birth.
grocery shopping took forever today, but i was expecting that. the landscapers were out today as well. they got the backyard done today. i'm sure the guy that mows our grass will be happy.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
so, roughly 10 minutes after i got this blog done yesterday, mom was in the bathroom puking. needless to say, she didn't go to her foot doctor yesterday. i called and told them what was going on. they understood and were really cool with cancelling. now i need to make sure mom reschedules that appointment soon. mom and i had a long talk last night. her memory has gone to complete shit anymore, so she has to write everything down. and i mean everything, like when to wake up, what to do when she does, when to take her nap, etc. so, my smart ass told her to write down to remember to breathe and stop procrastinating. that didn't go over well. but, she did actually sleep some last night. i didn't hear any outbursts from her at 3 or 4 in the morning, so i was able to get some sleep as well. apparently not enough though, as i put some ice on my back this afternoon and slept 2 more hours. that basically screwed up the timing of what i wanted to get done today. so, i'm guessing i am going to try to get a hair cut sometime tomorrow. or maybe next week.
Manchester United defeated Chelsea yesterday, 4-1. they will be in the Champions League next year. they play Fulham at home on Sunday to end the regular season. they also have the FA Cup final coming up as well.

i think mom is finally ready to plant the flowers she got nearly a week ago. i told her she might want to get them planted before they die. as you might imagine, i'm not much on flowers, etc. hell, i don't even care for the plastic ones.
