You know you're getting old when...
you throw your back out.
OK, it's probably not *actually* that bad, but gee it's uncomfortable. I woke up this morning feeling stiff and figured it was from hockey training last night - or more specifically from carrying the goalie gear after training - and that I would loosen up over the day. The irony being that I had just last night asked about getting a goalie bag that has wheels... By 10am I was thoroughly unimpressed and in need of going home.
I managed to get an appointment with my Chiro/ Osteo in the afternoon so headed off from work at lunch time and waited forever for a bus. He massaged and cracked my back. I've spent the afternoon at home watching Burlesque and trying to continue to move and stretch etc. It's better but still stiff and sore :/ Hopefully I'll wake up tomorrow and it will feel worlds better - there's a hot shower and a heat pack yet to come tonight. Sadly it's ruined my plans for the evening :(
It's just funny because at training last night we were discussing friends on facebook who dedicate ever status update to their wedding plans. I pointed out that so many people I know were either getting married, getting divorced or having babies. I figure, I'm turning 30 next month, I'll just blame it all on getting old.
Speaking of turning 30 - who wants to come and celebrate with me? It's on facebook but for those not plugged into stalkerbook, come along. Friday 15 April from about 7.30pm-ish at the Arthouse Hotel on Pitt St in the City (a block from the Pitt St Mall). Theme is 'Oldey Timey - come dressed as any old time you like'. I'm kind of hoping there are spice girls, 90210 characters, Michael J Fox from Back to the Future and many other fun type costumes. No idea what I'll dress up as though.
Anyway, I'm feeble so I've ordered home delivery Thai which has just arrived. I shall forthwith go and nom.
