in the library during rainstorm, fiddling with lj customization

[fflo]

I tried on a few of the new styles. Notably, the ones I'm most drawn to are urban:

 


Yeah, that's New York there last.

The city itch---which has been calling me at least to visit one---seems in some contrast with my lately kinda getting down in the gut some stuff I dig and have been fighting for about my "lifestyle" as it is these days, with the house & yard & cetera. But that doesn't mean they're not related. You never know how these things work.

(I settled for new colors for the blog for now; whaddaya think?)


Have been plagued by nasty upper back pain problem for days. Okay, it's into weeks. Am getting ever so slightly nervous I could be at the beginning of another 12-year chronic difficulty if I don't play my cards right, at this potentially critical juncture, if it is indeed one. I like my new muscles-work body! And I like workin' 'em! These things I shout to the universe. The building opens back up today, and I'm not there, dang it. A long visit with squirrelykat's Jacuzzi Sunday (at the catsitting gig) was a good thing, and maybe even just the ticket, but not just the thing if just the thing is the key to the whole shebang.

I know this is a bit of a delayed response....I love the details! You should hear all the juicy stories of illness and gore I've been hearing from my sis-in-law since she's been working in ICU.

I hope your pain has improved. It doesn't really sound like a back problem. Probably best to skip a chiropractor in my humble opinion.

I asked that same sis-in-law. She agreed about it most likely being muscle/rib oriented, but also said if it recurs, comes and goes, etc. over a period of time you should consider a lung or liver cause.

Consensus is beginning to develop that it's a pulled/strained muscle that's (a) big and (b) slow to heal cuz it gets used to much in everyday ways. It improves and then gets irritated and troubling again for a while, but it hasn't impinged on my simple perambulation much for a week now.

And, yeah, I guess of all my friends I'd put you near the top of the list of the Least Squeamish!
