Pass the Geritol...
Man, I feel old. Last week, part one: A bad cold. Last week, part two: Stomach bug. This week: A pulled lower back muscle. Since that's the second time in 2 years that's happened, it really sucks. I spent a lot of yesterday working in my backyard, and part of my project was to repair the lower part of the dog kennel where one of our huskies had literally torn the chain link apart with her teeth. So, I spent a good hour hunched over with a pair of plyers and wire cutters. FUN FUN FUN! Everything was great, but - later - when I went to load guitars in the car, snap...a muscle in my back said, "That's it!" Wow, does it hurt. So, I'm hobbling around like a contorted old man, unable to stand up completely straight... And simple tasks, like getting out of bed and getting up off the toilet (I know..TMI) are painfully excruciating things to do. Oh, well...at least the in-house pharmacy specialist has hooked me up with some great pain meds. Now, when are they supposed to kick in?
Band practice went well, except for 1 or 2 'new' sound issues and some vocalist malfunctions. Still, nothing that probably won't be remedied by Sunday. On any note, it was smoother than the previous week.
On a side note, people, I didn't put the 'breaks' in worship songs...they were written and/or originally recorded that way...so, send all correspondence to Hillsongs, Chris Tomlin, or whoever wrote the specific songs in question and let the world know that "breaks" are - indeed - not necessary for each and every song. In the meantime, we'll do what we did last night and remove them from songs that they really don't add anything special to. LOL.
It was also good to see Jeremy there last night. I really hope we can get him plugged in here and there so J-mo can (1) take a break and (2) Jeremy can find his "niche' in the church.
Stacey, Eli, and I were supposed to work on vocals this afternoon, but Eli has apparently come down with the same stomach bug that's been going around, so we're confining her to quarters. Hopefully, she'll feel better enough to work on the vocal stuff with us before Sunday a.m., 'cause we need work. Heh.
In other news, my Nostromo game pad came in today. I hope it works better for me than (cough) others...hehe.
Now, back to the 'pain."
KEY PHRASES: "Help, I can't pull my pants up." "No, I'm not constipated...I'm just walking that way." "Careful, Donny, I think she'd actually hit you." "You guys do know they sell ink cartridges at a number of local retail establishments, right?" "What did he mean, 'rare?'" "Lobster, anyone?"
