I’ve been slacking off on my exercise but there is valid reason for it. My sciatica has been acting up pretty badly. For the past few days I’ve had trouble moving around and today was kind of my boiling point. I woke up pretty early this morning and by the time I got back home from a quick trip to the store and a walk on the beach I was not only mentally exhausted but physically as well. This lead to me laying down in bed to just relax for a little while. Unfortunately I was unable to get back up after that happened and it scared the hell out of me. I couldn’t roll either left or right and the fact that I had to pee wasn’t helping me very much either.

I wound up falling asleep for a few hours and when I woke up I managed to very slowly roll myself to one side of the bed so I could get up. With the way my bedroom is there’s really no room to get out of the left side of the bed so you either have to scoot down (when Sean’s asleep) or roll to the right side and keep on rolling until you can easily stand. It’s a very bad place for a bed but instead of having the larger room as the bedroom we’re using it as an office. It makes for an annoying time but considering the room is only there to sleep in, we’re making due for as long as we have to.

I haven’t been feeling well on top of this, my stomach has been bothering me lately and I can tell that a cold is coming on just with how sluggish I’ve been lately. However, I’m unsure of the cause of the lack of energy. My diet is the same but I think since I’m not burning off the calories the way I was up until these past few days is taking it’s toll on me.

In other news, since I have been able to really get up and go the way I’ve wanted to, I’ve been playing around in Photoshop and I hope to have a new template here sometime soon. I should have done something for January 1st, but I figure better late then never. I’m going with pretty tones and maybe throwing some stock images into it. I do also have a few themes that I’m hoping to put up in the “Templates” section as soon as possible. I’m not sure exactly WHEN that’s going to happen but I’m certainly working on it.
