well

we just had a long weekend; easter and all. it went quickly, but was nice.

i played a lot of “draw something!”

my back’s been bothering me … i’ve self-diagnosed sciatica. my left butt cheek throbs when i clear my throat. i’ve been doing some stretches that really help, but i feel weird laying on my cube floor… i might make a sign to put on the back of my chair. “i have sciatica and am stretching. do not be alarmed!”
we’re starting to think about the garden. in addition to my having joined a csa this year, i think we over-did it last year; we had a few too many plants to take care of. i think we’ll stick with cukes (and fewer of those, too), tomatoes, maybe thai peppers again, and radishes.
also, i got a rhubarb plant from the nursery down the street. i’ve always wanted one (or more!) so i hope it flourishes.
