Well it has been a week since I blogged. It would be fair to say that the first week back at work was tiring, depressing and demotivating. I spent most of the week feeling very tired and then through circumstance was out Weds, Thurs and Friday night and did not get to bed till after midnight each night. Not a good look for a old bugger like me :-) Things of course were not helped by ridiculously hot temperatures with humidity through the roof!
Anyway so some musings.... I must say it has been hard coming back to work and I have felt a tad depressed at times. A lot of budget stress at the moment and I seem to be constantly worried I have mucked up somewhere Part of this probably stems from my dislike of finances and my tendency to want to ignore things and hope they will be alright. So anyway, I am going to try and put some things in place to make my life easier from now on and especially in the new financial year!
Guantanamo Bay... Well I am sure that will bring this blog to the attention of the U.S. security forces or something. I was reading a bit more about this this morning and it just gets more disturbing. What troubles me first is the fact that there was nothing anyone could have done to stop it. Who in the world could have stopped the Bush led administration from taking America down this path? And I am sure there are many in the U.S. who would feel it is a justifiable response to 9/11. But what does that say for any nation? What does that say for the people of GAZA? For the people of Israel? For the people of any nation that has an act of war or terrorism committed against it? And what damage has been done? Certainly any moral high ground that the U.S. had has been lost and those that remain, that in some way are going to have to be set free, how will they view the U.S. and the world? I am just not sure anything has been achieved and I suspect a great deal lost by the exercise. And I guess what I find really disturbing is that it has always just been easier to not think about it. To turn ones head and pretend it is not going on. I know I did and still do, because it is just to hard to think about.
On a lighter note, I see a a woman in the U.S. is auctioning her virginity. Apparently the bidding has hit $6.7 million. I suspect she might have trouble actually finding the person who bid that much but still I guess it says something interesting about the way virginity is viewed in these times. I mean, she is attractive enough, but I really don't think "deflowering a virgin" is worth that much money. In fact I know it is not!!! As for her? Well good on her I guess if she can get 10% of that figure she is probably doing well, as long as she can deal with it all after it is over.
Off to the physio this morning as my lower back has been giving me some grief. I have never been a person who suffered with their back, but my mother did and as I am now 38 figured I should nip it in the bud and get it sorted. I am sure some lower back strengthening will take care of it all!!!
Later!

How did the physio go? I've been to physio for my dodgy achilles tendon, and the exercises I've been given to do have helped hugely in strengthening it up. Hope you are finding the same thing.
