Every now and again I fall off the wagon, so to speak. I’m not as regular with my exercising as I once was and when I do exercise, I almost end up regretting it from the pain instilled in my body afterwards. Case in point… my feet. They’re aching tonight after a four-mile trek on [...]

I don’t have any pics ready just quite yet, but the garden is doing well this year. Everything is growing well with the exception of the broccoli, which I neglected to protect early on. The birds got to it before I could cover it with netting. They won’t have such luck next year. I’ll take [...]

It’s hard to imagine that weather I would expect in the middle of summer has already arrived. 90 degree temperatures with 80+% humidity is something I’d expect to only read about in the south right about now. This is just terrible to live in. You southerners can take back your weather whenever you like. I [...]

The big family garden has been in for a few weeks now and the weeds have overtaken just about everything. That was until this morning when they were all dispatched thanks to a heavy duty steel rake that I like to use. The weeds don’t stand a chance against that beast of a rake. It’s [...]

I haven’t mentioned by chiropractor visits in quite some time because there isn’t a whole lot to say. I’ve been entirely pain free for weeks now! I am going in once every three to four weeks, so I’m doing pretty well these days. It’s nice to be able to move around or just sit and [...]

It’s now getting to the point where this is hardly worth mentioning. It was another quick trip this morning, but it was busy as hell. It’s Friday and from what I’ve seen, Fridays are by far their busiest day of the week. Since everything seems to be healing well, I won’t be going in on [...]

I know I didn’t mention this last one, but I was busy. I went to the doctor again to get another adjustment and things seem to be progressing rather well. Although all of the pain isn’t gone, it hasn’t been as bad today. My left hip has been hurting more than my back, so I [...]

This time of year is never my favorite period, but I always manage to get through it. Going through receipts is never a fun thing to do, but thanks to TaxCut, this year’s taxes were as easy as ever to do. I used to use Turbo Tax but they moved self-employed support to a higher-priced [...]

This visit over and done with quite fast compared to yesterday. I did get an adjustment which was painful, but wasn’t as bad as the first one. I feel better today than I did yesterday. I’m trying to stay ahead of the bulk of the pain by icing it every two hours like the chiropractor [...]

After dealing with pain in my lower back for what seems like forever, I made an appointment to see a chiropractor. Now I’ve never in my life ever been to see one of these types of doctors, but I’m glad I went, so far. After filling out paperwork and waiting for the doctor, I got [...]
