Officially hit old man status. As if I didn't hit it before, but now I just solidified it.

I hurt my back Tuesday while I was lifting at the rec center and I feel like I've been shuffling around the last few days. So I finally sucked it up and went to the feckin' med center this morning. The put it right, but now all I want to do is sleep. But I think that has more to do with the stuff they gave me that's healing up my back and the fact that I've slept like crap the last few nights.

Thankfully boss man understands and gave me tonight and tomorrow night if I want it. That is still to be determined. Friday night usually means all hands on deck. We'll see.

Also debating about if I really want to go play "Meet the girlfriend" with da next weekend. It's not that unusual of an occurrence, but I don't know I'm just not in the mood for it. I'll most likely go. Because...it's da.

	Oh no, you're practically geriatric! Shall I transfigure something into a cane for you? Instead of standing outside the door looking all tough at the club, you can sit in a lawn chair with your cane and tell those "hoodlums" to "stop shoving and get out of my lawn--I MEAN LINE!" You should also wear suspenders. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I know! First I start to forget what days it was, and now I hurt my back! Though...I actually like this idea. The lawn chair and a cane. There are nights that I'd rather sit outside the door than stand. If I'm going to sit, might as well have something to keep those whippersnappers in line, yeah? I'm keeping any and all frisbees that come into arms reach though.

And pants that go half way up my chest?

	BRILLIANT. And yes. Pants must go halfway up your chest, but they also must not touch the tops of your shoes. Old men always wear high-water pants. It's a rule. And you need a fake beard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh naturally, the touching of the shoes will just give the impression that I'm under 85. And if we've learned one thing, it's that old men's worst fear is stepping in puddles/snow/water and getting the bottom of their trousers wet. Do I still need one if I have a real beard?

	Be over in a minute with a heating pack, glasses, knit blanket and Nyx so you can play crazy old cat man. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I'm all right without the heating pack. The stuff they gave me is doing its job and it's already working wonders. I can finally sit straight up without it hurting. I imagine that'll I'll be right as rain here before too much longer. Though, they told me to stay out of the gym for a week. Which kind of bothers me. But whatever, I'll live. Ha! That is if I could find Max....

	Though, I will never be as old as The Old Man. He will always be the original and forever standard in Old Man-ness. My body has yet to realize this though. I think it took the hint though. Maybe next time it won't get into a fight with the weights.... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I can't tell if you're trying to be Scottish or Hilbilly. I just don't know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	driftingthrough 2012-02-03 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Nah. If I wanted to pretend to be a Scot I'd just talk about Burns night and how much I enjoy sheep and eating sheep related products. Which is nothing compared to what I got on the English. Ha! I was just repeating something me Granddad used to say to Grammy when he'd start bullin' about being old. (Reply to this) (Parent)

ARE YOU OKAY?! Well I mean of course you are okay because you are writing and it's not everywhere...unless you are dictating to a quill in which case you might not be okay. But then if you tell me that you are okay are you actually okay? Because boys often say that they are okay when they are not simply not to worry girls. But I'm worried anyway because I am me and I can't change that. Not that I'd want to change that. When did this become about me? CHANGING THAT!

ARE YOU OKAY?!

	Deep breath there Ellie. I'm fine. Really. Promise. I even dragged myself to the Med Center and you know how much I hate that. They gave me some stuff for it and I'll be put right in a few hours I suspect. I'm already moving around mostly normally. By the time I wake up in the morning I'll be back to my usual self.

	It's kind of sounding like this might be happening. Instead of throwing people out, I will just give them a smack with the cane. That'll teach those youngins. (Reply to this) (Parent)
