I'm super-bummed to miss the kermis. I probably still have enough fitness to do OK but any sort of injury right now would seriously mess up the family situation. Next year...

In other news, I've had a lower back issue forever, like 10+ years. Mostly annoyance-level, weakness in the lower left back, hurts when twisting, occasionally hurts a lot. There's one particular verterba crack that seems to temporarily alleviate the pain, but I have to crack it quickly, a slow twist is excruciating. Anyway, finally went to a PT and got some x-rays. Herniated L1 disk, and noticeable scoliosis too which aggravates it. Not much I can do about that, so I guess I'll just have to hope it doesn't get significantly worse. Louis CK: "so is there any treatment for this?" Doc: "no, it's just ****ty now."

In other other news, I shaved for the first time in about 15 years and my kids are all scared of me now.
