Bad:
- My back - I hurt it playing in the ocean this weekend. I think I pulled a muscle near my sciatica. I am old. Old. Old.
- Our stomachs - After Thai food at a place that had a roach in the restroom. That should've been my first clue. Or the Ramen noodles they tried to pass off as Pad Ba-Mee. These are signs of bad bad things to come.
- Being here - Back at work after a holiday way weekend is horrendous. The kind of thing that makes our stomach problems seem minor. Can't they ease us into these sorts of things?
- Ginger's paw - She sprained it while running around the house post-bath. Now she limps.
- My nose - I somersaulted in the pool scraping my nose on the bottom.
Good:
- My weekend - totally rocked. We put the windows down and screamed our lungs out to Genesis. We drank Miller Lights for hours, Ginger had one too, and made up answers to Scattergories. Giraffes so live on farms. Hello? Giraffe farms. We had beer relays in the pool and played poor poor games of football in the ocean. There was flip cup, the new indoor grill (thanks Mike), and four Malbecs at Mad Dogs. We had some old fashioned fun. The background to all those stories, even the bad, was the highlight of three blissful peaceful well played relaxing drink induced summer days. Just look at the background of the picture. We had gorgeous weather, a cool breeze, the beat of the sun, the laughter of friends and a sensation of love and freedom. I thought on more than one occasion that this was dream like. I loved that this was my life. The pictures tell only a bit of where we were and what we were doing...but they are pretty spectacular too.

Oh, oh, oh, I do NOT ever wanna hear about anyone's back hurting again.
Tonight: pop a few Advil (not Tylenol, Tylenol is garbage on your liver and Advil is anti-inflammatory), ice or heat it depending on which you feel you need, lay on your stomach for 30 min. or so, do a few press-ups from the waist, take a quick walk around the block, watch your posture.
DO IT!!!- 4:59 AM

I'm impressed by the gymnastics at the pool (even if injuries did occur). I've always wondered how people lose the ability to do cart-wheels, round-offs, etc., so I make sure and do a few a year:)
I'm glad you enjoyed the long weekend...and happy short work week!- 6:41 AM

I think the same thing. I did a cartwheel (on land) just the other week.

Here's hoping the nose/stomach/paw/back/work/etc all ease up on you and turn out fine! But it looks like the good outweighs the bad so I'm going to focus on that! Great pics, that water looks AMAZING!

You know what's funny? If the days would go on like this, if this dream were your life, you would not like it anymore. You would want structure, work, a backbone of sorts, some purpose.
So it is good that, after all, we are back where we were. As long as we move on.- 8:11 AM

You are choking on jealousy over Ally's trip, and I'm choking on jealousy over yours! Sounds like you had a good time and can I just say you posting such great photos really makes me think I should start?? And I'm naturally extremely lazy so this is a big deal. Have a great Wednesday!
