Managing the small stuff...

I hate the phrase "don't sweat the small stuff..." when served up to you with some lame excuse as to why the small stuff wasn't taken care of. The details do matter, and sometimes we overlook those minute details that can be the difference between success and failure or even mean something to someone other than ourselves.

So, keep in mind the small stuff. If it becomes important, well, then make time for it. You might be surprised.

What's all this? Just my thinking. I'm out of jujitsu for the next 3 - 6 weeks and I'm already feeling the pain of forced inactivity. It has allowed me to start walking again now that the weather has turned here in Minnesota. That' nice...

Bah! I've trained when I'm hurt, but this isn't just a hurt, it is an injury. So it needs time to heal. And then I'll be right back at it. Just don't step in front of my while I'm practicing my tonfa sitting in that chair.

Take care and talk to you all soon...

Winning

As Charlie Sheen has ranted, "Winning" is a much better state to be in.  After seeing a MD for my back yesterday, I was very relieved to hear the words "not a herniated disc".  Trust me, after suffering what I went thru in 2006 and 2007 I wouldn't want anyone to hurt like that.

I was awake and nervous Wednesday night as I was thinking about my back...

However, I'm injured.  But injuries do heal.  Time marches on... and soon I'll be back at it.

Ah craptastic!!!

Ok, so this hurts.  Either I seriously tweeked my back during jujitsu OR I seriously gave myself a hip pointer, which in turn tweeked my back. 

Irregardless, it hurts and stiff and sore.   So, off to an Ortho/Sports doctor tomorrow.  Figured it was about time I looked into one since I'm more active and hopefully he can help with future back issues.

Anyway, I'm bummed...
