Mixed bag.

I woke up this morning with an achey back, which plagued me even through Vitamin I. Happily, tactisle fixed it for me. Three cheers!

Mom came into the city today--we had lunch, and then she went down to look at Ground Zero. Have to figure out what to do tonight. I think she's still pretty tired, so it is likely to be an early bedtime all around.

It looks like Mom is supposed to be chief babysitter on Saturday...but there seems to be a definite undertext of my presence being expected for at least part of it. But no one knows what's going on, or when, or for how long. La la la la la!

To bounce or not to bounce

...tomorrow, that is the question. I'd really like to make it a 4-day week of classes (because that _is_ the habit I'm trying to get into), but though my back is pretty much okay now, I don't know if it would be imprudent to go *thump* on it a lot.

On the other hand, it wasn't aikido that made it ache, so why should aikido make it worse? It's not (supposed to be) that kind of exercise.
