Pain

today is all about pain.

after sleeping an extremely long time, somewhere in the neighborhood of 14-15 hours, i awoke to discover an almost total lack of mobility. this is not as uncommon as i would like, but today was much worse than usual. after several hours, a shower long enough to run all the hot water out and an excruciating set of stretches on my exercise ball, i have regained enough motion to actually consider sitting in front of the computer for a few minutes. this is not something i would normally do while experiencing strong back pain as the way i sit in my chair tends to exacerbate the pain, not alleviate it.

in other news...

i was recently offered the position of Apprenticeship Administrator for the stagehands local here in salt lake. it will be a decent amount of work, and provide a half time income as well, so that will help with some of the more traumatic efforts to keep the budget balanced. but more importantly, it gives me a chance to have some impact on a program i have long viewed as important but very... unsatisfactory in its execution. hopefully i can do some good while in the position.

thats about all that is happening. life progresses, i try to learn from it, and keep moving on.

c'est la vie.
