What’s up with Ryan anyway?

Hmm, things have been kinda slow around here the last several days.  What’s up with that?  Here’s the deal: I had some kind of muscle strain or something in my neck and back that was bothering me and didn’t seem to want to go away on its own, so I went to the doctor.  Doc said, oh so helpfully, “I think you strained a muscle.  The older you get, the longer things like this take to heal.  Keep taking your Ibuprofen, you’ll be more comfortable.  And do you have a heating pad?”  Gee, thanks!  It sucks to get old, just so you know.

Several days later, I was feeling better but still not 100% normal (no jokes, please).  So off I went again to the doctor.  This time, I got me some drugs–muscle relaxants, to be specific.  Those have helped quite a bit, as I’m feeling much better.  Unfortunately, some of the side effects are drowsiness and lethargy.  So, I’ve been sleeping more than usual and feeling pretty low-energy when I am awake.  This has sadly curtailed my SL activities. 

Now that I’m feeling almost human again, I’m off on a long weekend trip, so I’ll be away tomorrow (Friday) through Monday.  Never fear, kids–I’ll be back on Tuesday and plan to get back in the groove with the next installment of my Halloween series.  And I’ve got a post in the works that I should be able to publish today, if I can get my timing together.  Wish me luck!
