A quick update...

 My back is better but not good.  I've got an appointment with my GP next Tuesday to discuss the situation, what tests we might need to do, and what therapy options I have.  Obviously chiropractic care isn't the answer any more--at least not long term.  I get short term relief most of the time but not long term.  The pool I get into for my deep water aqua aerobics is heavenly though.  When I get in, there is no pressure on my back and unless I try to push specific movements, I usually have little pain.

I have written and rewritten my Position Description at work quite a bit and the HR person thinks we have it covered now. I just really had to remember all the responsibilities I have.  You know, things like approving payroll, hiring term to term (without doing approval forms with the dean), managing emergency planning, response, and recovery, etc....

I'm chasing a missing near million dollars that should be left over from our renovation but appears to have been misplaced somewhere.  I've located about a quarter of it and my accountant and I are working together to figure out where it has been placed (and how we pay back a loan to a bank that no longer exists).  It's convoluted.

Wednesday, I may have jury duty...I'll call Tuesday to find out.  It's not convenient and I'm sure work will expect me to keep up with everything here even if I am selected.  I suspect my back issues may be a discouragement to my selection but I won't hold my breath on that.

I would have liked to have gone out and taken a hike while the weather was so nice but my back forbid it and I listened.  Hopefully we'll get some good weather when my back is feeling better, and hopefully that's soon!  I managed to dig two holes big enough to plant my new (bare root) rosebushes in.  They had to get into the ground!  I even got the mower running, with help, and got the lawns mown for the first time of the year.  I have small lawns and I'm contemplating making them even smaller to get more flower beds but any heavy work has to wait.

Spending more time indoors means that I got my taxes done last weekend, and I should be getting a nice refund...mortgage insurance and interest is good for something.  I've also managed to baste together a new tunic pattern that Marian and I drafted.  We've made revisions and I need to make some adjustments.  If it works, we'll tear it all apart and make a pattern.

I'm sure there are other things but I have to run for now.
