It’s Saturday and I thought I’d post the news. Honestly I don’t want to do anything today as I messed my back up again and I’m in a whole lot of pain, I can’t even stand up straight at this point. It’s more comfortable for me to actually crawl around on and hands and knees… yep it sucks really bad to be me right now…
