Very lower back, top of the arse cheeks. I listened to the explanation, heard nerves yada yada yada, but it seems to be working.

Similar to sciatica.

I don't care how it works I'm just glad it's coming good. Last month has been a horror story. Got 4 days of work left then 2 weeks off to relax and get my shit together and hopefully go back to work functioning on somewhere near 100% rather than 50-75%

Was something pressing on the nerves in your back? Maybe tight hamstrings too?

Good stuff getting it sold, prices will stay low and may go lower for a while yet.

Woke up this morning, feet felt good. By end of day a little numbness has crept back but a lot better than where I was a week ago.

Got some new BP tabs from the cardiologist which (sample size of 1 day) seem to be working with no side effects (thank grod)

Son bought my mums old fridge back today (in my trailer which he seems to have permanently borrowed) and installed that in the backyard entertaining area for Xmas. Got some concrete tiles to put under the corners so when we get this ridiculous heavy rain and the floor floods, the motor etc is above water.

It felt weird actually having some energy for the first time in weeks, but good.

A mensch is a peron of real standing, integrity, honour and character.

While the youngest has integirty and honour you wouldn't use the word "mensch" in this context though. For example you would say Fred Hollows was a mensch whereas Donald Trump could never be a mencsh as he lacks honour and integrity even if people like him.

While the term mensch has often been applied to men more than women due to the higher public profiles of men (public roles of men v private roles of women over the centuries). Slowly this too is changing with the times.

thats good, the meds must be working then.

yeah re the house, hubby lowered his expectations a little when we found out the road will be closed for 4 weeks min in February, gees they are making a mess of things while they build the tunnel! they were working on widening the bridge over millers rd on the westgate during the auction, the noise was so bad!! not conductive to a massive sale in the current climate!

the roadworks near where that Mercedes crashed on Saturday night has had everyone around here predicting a massive smash, they painted over the lines and moved them over but when the sun hits them at peak hour the old lines were clearly visible up until last week, and it was so easy to get confused as to where you should be, and it was worse in the rain. they have resurfaced most of it now so hopefully its better. closer to Geelong they did the new lines in yellow, and also on the ring road, no ideas why they didnt do it there. doubt it caused that crash though, im guessing they were flying, similar to that crash on the ring road a couple of years ago, the car that was drag racing.

Oh, that's good. That's permanent? What prompted the change? (Did someone collapse?!)
