Agony

1.5 hours of Silat this morning, attempting to bounce up from somewhat un-natural positions, coupled with kettle bells has resulted in me being in absolute agony right now. I was on single arm swings and something in my lower back let go. Agony. My lower back is in spasm and completely tweaked. I'm sitting here at home, stoned on Robaxacet and attempting to move without looking like I have a stick shoved up my ass into my spine! Wow, talk about pain. Not entirely sure what I did, but I'm hoping it goes away soon so I can get back to training.

Last night we had our first meeting with our house building team. I think we have a good team - great sense of humor and everyone seems to get along. Now, all I have to do is buy my ticket. The problem is that I'm not going to be able to buy it until December. On top of that, if I do buy a ticket, there is no way that I can get my car fixed to go to Sudbury at Christmas. I just can't afford to do both. So, I tucked my tail between my legs and have asked for help and a loan from a family member. If I can buy the ticket now, I can save myself alot of stress. But I can't afford to. I don't want to have to back out of the build, let them all down, but then again I hate borrowing money. Unfortunately, with the way my family is, there is only one person who I could turn to, but I'm not sure it's going to work out. The joys of a dysfunctional family, eh? So it's either ask for help, or cancel the trip entirely. Horrible situation. It would be nice if our retro pay came earlier than later. I didn't sleep at all last night worrying about this. I fell asleep around 4am, got up around 8am to get to the gym in time. Not enough sleep that's for sure. I have to work tomorrow so I'm hoping that tonight brings more sleep. And less worrying. But the worry may only go away after I receive an answer to my letter.
