fumbling for words

Never really a problem for me in real life, but they never fail to elude me here. No snazzy eye pics, as the camera due to us is out of stock at the moment. Apparently we'll be receiving it....soon.

We'll also be using the camera to take some nice photos of the hounds, as we fully expect one of them (Bucket, who are we kidding?) to be chosen as the new Old Navy Mascot. Not that we're big proponents of Old Navy or anything, but there is really only so much cuteness that we can contain in this house. We really owe it to the world to share. Plus, he can wave, crawl, and now "stand". What's not to love? Oh, and plus it probably pays well, and if I can be a stage mom to my dog instead of a slave to the idiot people that shop retail (yes, I'm fully aware that I am one of them), count me 100% IN!

So yeah. Those are the big plans for the camera. As for life in general? Got an appointment tomorrow with the Doc, whom I'm going to grill about the results of my MRI. A 15 second message from her assistant giving me the facts and nothing in the way of explanation is NOT going to cut it. So. There.

Been walking with the dogs every other morning or so. It's about a 1.5 mile route, so I get to go a full three miles. I would really *REALLY* rather jog it, but the motion tends to cause a boatload of back (and knee) pain for me. Perhaps after a few go-rounds at the PT's, I'll get to go for it again. Some good strenthening and stretching moves will, I hope, work wonders. I've taken to stretching for about 10-15 minutes before bed every night, and that has seemed to help quite a bit. It's a pain in my butt to have to do it, but a woman I work with has to ice her back for an hour every morning, so I guess I can suck it up for 15 minutes sans ice.

That's all I got.
