What I've been up to...

...attending Easter egg hunts.

... reading sci-fi -- namely Robert J. Sawyer's Rollback. (This is the guy who wrote the book Flashforward -- yeah, that TV show is based on it.)

... playing video games -- namely Pokemon HeartGold as my daughter is a Pokemon fanatic -- seriously.  Name a Pokemon and she know all its stats. Plus lots of Wii Fit Plus since our vacation is coming up and I want to be able to eat any goodies I desire without any guilt.

... learning more Python -- most fun I've had with a programming language in ages.  May make a little GUI knitting counter for fun.

... battling pain.  I had a few good weeks and thought maybe I was miraculously cured -- HA!  Advil and the heating pad are once again my friends.

... drinking coffee -- hot one day and iced the next, because our weather is crazy here.  40's today = hot coffee.

Sorry to hear you've been in pain, don't remember why. I'm off to the orthopedic doctor today for my neck; need to go back to physical therapy before it seizes up. Getting old (me, not you) sucks.

HeartGold and SoulSilver are both big winners at our house, although there is much anguish and heartbreak over the loss of Pokemon Rangers Shadows of Almia. Hope the pain fades quickly!

I too am good friends with my heating pad :) I have found that those Thermacare Heat Wraps work even better for me when I'm in a lot of pain. Don't know what part of your body hurts but I have found that the neck ones work much better on my lower back (when it's the affected body part) than the low back wraps. They go on like big band-aids so they keep the heat right where you want it. The ones designed for low back actually wrap around like a weight belt & fasten with velcro. I find that they slip around a lot (I mostly wear them to bed to help sleep better) & they cost a good bit more than the neck ones.
