Week of Pain

So I've been in major back pain this week...today being the first day I didn't take any pain reliever, but I'm not quite back to normal. It started monday morning, I found a chiropractor here on tuesday and went back to her again on wednesday. I spent most nights this week taking pain reliever, drinking wine, eating chocolate, icing my back and laying on my bed watching dvds...my kind of therapy...and my days haven't been too productive. So I've been cranky and don't have much else to report. I did pay my deposit and pick up my books for my dive course today...hehe, I can't wait and January is so far away! Tomorrow I'm going to an all-day symposium at our Marine Center - grad students in my department will present their research. Then I leave bright and early saturday morning for a winery tour. 8 wineries/vineyards in 2 days, one of which is a cave winery. We spend the night at a lodge in Queenstown, which I'm dying to visit. I'm way excited and am sure I'll have loads to blog about next week!
