Well I managd to really mess myself up today. We had taken the kids to Urban Farm, a farm in the city...thus the urban...

Anyway, while we were there we were playing a tag game and one of the kids rolled their ankle. I ran over and checked out her foot to see if everything was ok. It seemed fine, but she was still complaining of pain so I thought it best to pick her up and carry her over to the picnic table to rest for a bit.

I don't know what it was. Maybe it was all the heaving lifting I've been doing at the gym lately, or maybe it was the uneven ground I was standing on, or maybe it was a bunch of factors all mixed up into once cluster $#^% of badness. In any case, my back said ^%$# you! and I put the girl down quickly before realizing how much pain I was really in. I pinched a nerve/threw my back out, and so now I am out of service for just about anything that involves movement of any kind. Yay.

I'm feeling a bit better from this afternoon. I had a nap and took some meds along with putting some heat on it, so at least now I can take a deep breath without doubling over in pain, which conveniently also puts me in pain for bending over.

I watched the Olympic opening tonight from the comfort of my couch. It was really well done, and as I expected, everything was huge and over the top. It was quite enjoyable though, and I look forward to watching the games. I also downloaded the demo for Braid today. That game is pretty awesometastic, I must say. The graphical beauty alone is amazing, but the music and gameplay are also insanely well done. I would buy it, but it's so damn expensive that I'm putting it off until God knows when...unless I crack and buy it anyway.

With my back in this shape, I may not get to take Nathalie out tomorow as planned, so we'll probably stay in and watch a movie or play some games of some sort. Unfortunately, Rock Band is totally out of the question...grumble.

In any case, I thought you would all be thrilled to hear of my misfortunes, and so there you have it haha. I'm really not used to things actually hurting me due to a very high threshold for pain, but this has been enough to keep me sitting or laying in one spot long enough to annoy me. Guild Wars and making that Life's a Glitch video will more than likely be the main events of the weekend.

That's all from me for now guys and gals, have a good one and don't pick up children!
