Back Pain

Oh, this is fun.

I told a friend I’d help him with an errand today.  It will probably take about half an hour, but I used it as an excuse to take the whole day off.

I planned to work on 50/90 all day, but there are a bunch of things around the house that I’ve been neglecting, so I decided to take care of a couple of those instead.  First and foremost, the lawn.

I waited until 9am, went outside, filled the mower’s gas tank… And that’s all it took for my back to really start hurting.  

I want to mow a little, then rest my back a little, then repeat as needed, but I’ve done one small piece of the front yard and already I’m in huge pain.  I don’t know if I will be able to handle even the bare minimum.  

This sucks.

How Did That Happen?

I don’t know what I did, but this morning when I logged into work I opened up Chrome to check my email and my start pages didn’t come up. What? I went into settings and reset them. A few minutes later I realized that all of my extensions were gone. All of them. But… why? How? What did I do to deserve this torture? I’ve grown so accustomed to having Chrome set up the way I want it that I was lost. Worse, some of those extensions have been in place for many years and I don’t remember what they were called! No! I put the Hangouts extension back first. Life sucked without that puppy. Then I put the two coded by people here at work, including one by a guy in my group, and then I had to start guessing. What was the flash blocker called? What was the gmail notifier called (it was not “gmail notifier” although that’s what I have now). This sucks.
