Ouch. Ow.

Just as I began to wake up mentally and creatively, as well as starting to exercise more, what do I do but hurt my back again. It was out all last weekend, but I went to the chiropractor on Monday and thought it was fixed. I just got back from aikido and a trip to the grocery store, and there's something very wrong with the small of my back. When I bend over, I experience great pain and my back gives out. And I don't think the chiropractor is there on Thursdays.

At lunch, though, I went to University Art in Palo Alto to get my black belt scroll (that's the best way to describe it, since it looks like an SCA scroll in Japanese, without pictures) framed, and I picked up a magnifier to user when I paint. I'll try it out tomorrow night.
