out from under the haystack

I don't know exactly what I did or how I did it, but I managed to accidentally correct my hip problem.

At least partially. Last night, as I stretched out on the bed for a nice puppycuddle with Ms. Raj, I felt something go "click" in my hip area. It didn't make much immediate difference in the pain , so I didn't think anything of it. I snap, crackle and pop like a bowl of Rice Krispies all the time anyway.

But when I awoke this morning, what a difference! I'm still having a little pain, but nothing compared to the "jabbed with a sharp stick" agony I was having.

And judging from how many trips I've made to the ladies room today, I think that the edema must be passing off as well.

I'm still going to stay off the 'mill until after my chiro appointment tomorrow, though. Which sucks, because I desperately need to get back to my workout routine.

Now I have to leaf back though this diary and find out what that haircolor is that I used last summer, that I just loved. No more "Brown Sugar"; I just don't want to be a redhead.

Back in a minute.

Well, I had to go all the way back to last June, but it's "Hydrience, #40, Tawny Breeze - Light Ash Brown" that I need to find.

I only met the woman a couple of times, years ago. She was the reason that Spouse and I absolutely had to get married in a Catholic church--she wouldn't attend the wedding otherwise. So I went through a tremendous amount of trouble and bother in order to do that.

She didn't come anyway.

(In case it isn't obvious, this woman is related on his evil mother's side.)

Honestly, as I've said before, I kind of liked him despite the fact that he opposed so much of what I believe.

But all this yack-yack about him being such a force for freedom is getting on my nerves a bit. The only freedom he ever encourage was the freedom to be Catholic. (And a very un-free sort of Catholic, at that.) He didn't care ending about Cuban communism the way he cared about ending European communism, because Castro didn't ban Catholicism. Despite all that, I did like him a little. He was a very interesting and charismatic man. And I'm glad he isn't suffering from the pain and indignity of his age and infirmity any more.
