if its monday, its blather
friday morning
i decided
to
empty the litterbox
my back decided
it wasn't happy
it decided
to show me
how unhappy it was
by
spasming
not
at
the lower vertebrae
no
in the
middle
of
my back/spine
and
just enough
to make me
freeze
hold my breath
hope
it wasn't going
to
make me
unable
to
move
walk
sit
slowly
i straightened up
ok
seems to be an aberration
or
so i thought
til i got to the office
and
sat down
standing back up
was
extremely unpleasant
drugs were needed
drugs were taken
spasms eased
lucky for me
my monthly massage
was
scheduled
for saturday
on the downside
the weather was skitzo
i was supposed
to
sit for a friend
who is shooting a series of portraits
then
we were going to meet another friend
for
some photo op hunting
on the lower east side (les)
the massage really helped
i am sure
the 3 meloxocam
i took friday
not all at once
over the course of the day/evening
left
some relaxant residue
helped
the weather and traffic
due
to
a new york roadrunner race
down
fifth avenue
was
insane
photo shoot rescheduled
photo hunting postponed
sunday
my back spasms persisted
but not enough to slow me down
as beautiful a day
as you would want in mid september
it was chilly
sun shining
cloudless skies
it warmed up
there was mani/pedi'ing
followed by
the portrait sitting
when my friend sends them i will share
afterward
toonman and i took a walk in the park
we were not alone!
