I have had a bit of a relapse on the chiropractic front. Yesterday and overnight I was in increasing pain which gave me a pretty bad night. This meant that this morning’s session was less enjoyable than usual.
I wasn’t up to doing much today, so, in preparation for a later visit from James Peacock to help with my printer problems, I cleared six months of paperwork from the top of that machine, filed and shredded most of it, and made a few consequent phone calls. After I had finished James called to say that on his way to us his car windscreen had been smashed by a flying stone, so he couldn’t continue. There are of course pools all over the roads with much gravel washed into them.
Ah well, thinking of my paperwork, which wouldn’t otherwise have been tackled, it’s an ill wind………
Later I read most of the next Gogol story, before we all dined exquisitely at the Fleur de Lys.
I hope you’re feeling better. It sounds like you did quite a lot!
Thank you very much, Merril
Oh Derrick, I hope you feel much better very soon. I know how painful back issues are and have a handicap tag in my car to prove it.
Funny you should mention shredding, two days ago I began shredding ten or more years worth of useless federal tax documents.
The large quantity killed the old shredder so off I went to purchase a replacement. No need for ex wife tax documents here! ????????
Well done, John. Thanks very much
????????☺️
Synchronicity at work. We all need impetus one way or another.
Feel better soon!
Thanks very much, Val
Sorry you suffered a temporary set back. Your title says it all. Hope you are back on track ASAP. Dinner sounds great.
Thanks very much Pat
Every time you look at that cleared printer you can revel in a sense of achievement. And I hope your temporary setback is just that – temporary, I mean. But let’s spare a thought for poor James: windscreens with all their built-in technology are not cheap to replace these days! Do you remember when a cockatoo threw a large pebble on mine and smashed it? (Then ran off to boast to all his mates so they could do the same).
I do. Thanks very much Gwen
I am sorry to hear of the increase in you back pain. It is very wearing and gives you no rest so I hope that improvement comes double quick.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
Best wishes for it all working well soon, and good for you to get something productive done anyhow–
Thanks very much, Donnalee
I’m sorry your pain has worsened, Derrick. I hope it’s better now.
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I think the pile of paper work strewn over my desk would take me more than a day to tidy up …
🙂 Cheers, Ivor
Sorry to hear about your relapse 🙁
Thanks very much, Rosaliene
Feel better soon.
Thanks very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
I’m sorry Derrick. No fun.
Thanks very much, Gary
I hope you feel better soon, and a kind wind blows gently.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
I hope you are feeling better now Derrick.
Thank you very much, Arlene
The problem about pain is that it is internal with nothing to show for it outside – so you look fine to others. I deal with arthritic pain on a daily basis so can empathise with your disappointment. As for clearing the decks, well, sometimes I am pleased when family come to visit for that provides the impetus for finally getting round to tidying away all sorts of things. Naturally, I add my wishes to those of your other readers that the treatment you are receiving will help you overcome this setback.
Thank you so much, Anne
I hope that your pain and discomfort improves soon!
Thank you very much, John
Oh, my! 😮 An ill wind, indeed. 🙁
I hope a happy, good-fortune wind replaces that ill one.
I hope you are free of pain soon.
I hope James gets his window repaired soon. Stone flying at a window…so scary.
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn XX
Sorry to hear of the set back, Derrick. I hope it’s only temporary and you will be feeling more comfortable again soon.
Thank you so much, Sandra
Sorry to hear that Derrick
Thanks very much, Sheree
Coincidentally my husband, Marc, is experiencing a lot of pai in his back. Nothing he has tried helps.
I do wish him relief. Thanks very much, Sherry
I am sorry to hear you had a setback, Derrick. Our shredder kicked the bucket so it’s time to replace it.
Thanks very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
There is always an alternative Derrick.
Thanks very much, Andrew
So sorry you had a painful night and session. Hopefully all will be set to right soon. In the meantime, you were most efficient! Sometimes the Universe helps us get organised…
Thank you so much, Dale
My pleasure, Derrick.
Wishing you a speedy recovery on the neck. Good thing is it will be fine again.
Thank you so much, Byung
Sorry to hear that you are in pain Derrick, hope you get sorted out soon x
Thanks very much, June. X
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Derrick. Much love to you and Jackie.
Thank you very much, Lavinia X
I do hope that the pain clears up soon.
Thanks very much, Lindsey
Well, the only positive about today seems to be just the paperwork, like you say it’s an ill wind.
I’m so sorry about the relapse, I do hope it is short lived.
Somewhat better today, Sue. Thanks very much
Well done on the paperwork, but so sorry about the pain. It permeates everything. Your weather is equally problematic. Sending you some virtual TLC, Derrick.
Thank you so much, Alys X
I am so sorry to hear about your pain, Derrick. Feel better!
It’s nice to find out that my husband is not the only one who piles paperwork on top of the printer.
Thanks very much, Dolly 🙂
You are most welcome, Derrick.
so sorry about the pain
Thank you very much, Mimi
I hope you are better today
Somewhat better
How exhausting to be in pain. Glad you were able to get some help.
Thank you very much, Laurie
Paperworks are always boring 🙂
Thank you very much, Riba
