-- NOT--
By Friday I was pretty exhausted and ready for the weekend. I did manage to join Andy for a quick trip to the shops on the plaza Friday night, he needed to pick up a couple of things and we just talked, walked and relaxed. I had planned to just do some housecleaning on Saturday and then go over to Christie and Dylan's for a Birthday celebration for Dylan Saturday evening. As I have said before I always have a good time when I join them but I woke up Saturday not feeling that great I hadn't been up an hour, when my back started to spasm. These spasms are different than ongoing pain in that you think you are better and are in the middle of doing something when it hits you again and knocks you down. After suffering through about four bouts of this I decided to try to work out what ever kink was causing it. I took a hot massaging shower. Did some stretching execises and rubbed on some salve. I was just relaxing in my favorite chair when it hit me again and much harder. I decided to stop playing games and just take some meds. I took two muscle relaxers and laid down. I didn't wake again until late that evening and by that point I had missed the party.
By the end of it all I didn't get much accomplished and hadn't stepped foot out of the house all day. I went to bed late and slept like a log. Even after having slept most of the day away I didn't have any problems sleeping throughout the night. It seems that my sleeping problems happen primarily on weeknights.
Sunday I awoke bright & early and got going. I had a number of things I wanted to get done before meeting up w/ Andy for lunch. But before i realized it was 11:00 and Andy called wanting to eat brunch instead of lunch. So we went up to midtown to eat at what used to be Chubbies which is now Cynthia's. While there we decided to go see a lunch time movie. We went to see Mission Impossible 2. Don't waist your time it was quite bad. About a quarter of the way through I decided that I was bored and started to squirm and dayddream. I didn'k know if Andy was injoying it or not so I kept quiet. A short time later when I was laughing inside at a really bad scene I realized that Andy wasn't trying to hide the fact that this sceriouse scene was cracking him up also. I started to feel better and began to injoy the experience if not the movie itself. We did try to keep it down so we didn't disturb the other movie goers. Near the end I realized that the people behind us was laughing as much as we were. We ended the day by once again walking around the Plaza and window shopping.
