Well, one week after straining my back, I'm on the mend. I've spent much of the last week resting in bed, using the heat pad, and just lying around and resting. In fact, I even made my wife mow the yard. I get a little better each day, and now, 7 days later, my frames is starting to straighten out too. The pain, which was probably a 9 last Tuesday, is now down to a 2. I've been doing my stretching exercises also, so hopefully in another week, I'll be back to 100%.
The markets have continued to tank. After congress failed to approve the 700 billion bailout plant last Monday, then tried again and passed it on Friday, the global markets could care less. The Dow was down another 400 points today, after being down 150 on Friday, and after losing 700 last Monday. I'm not even sure I have anything left in my 401k. Well, it's not that bad, but it feels like it.
While it was probably a stupid move (considering how the economy is taking a nose-dive plunge to rock bottom), I did buy a new toy this week. I bought a GPS and associated accessories to do a little Geocaching. It's time I started a new hobby, I haven't tried anything different in a long time. Hopefully it will be a fun diversion to the economic woes that continue to plague our country.
