I went to see my massage guy Fred today, and I had to cut things short because I had an appointment with a new acupuncturist. Fred found all sorts of things wrong with my back, and when he cleared those all up he still hadn’t gotten to my S-I joint where my big problem was. The new acupuncturist took 2 1/2 hours on my back but I was still nowhere near fixed. She even saw visible swelling in my lower back. I can’t believe that just putting my golf clubs into my car was such a bad idea.

I certainly was in a bad mood with my sore back and I was stopped by a drunk guy who wanted $500. FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. And I’m stupid enough to stop and talk to random people on the street. I guess the best part of my running around was that I didn’t have time for a proper lunch and I ended up having two scoops of gelato.

Now honestly, I’m pretty pissed about having my daily routine so screwed up. Do you realize how hard it is to put out the garbage when you can barely keep yourself upright? But any day with gelato for lunch isn’t all bad. And the acupuncturist was quite attractive. So it wasn’t a complete loss.
