Life

Today has been an odd day for weather. Every half hour it changes between bright sunshine, and dark overcast with snow. It's also been consistently around 5 degrees today which is really weird with the snow falling. No stickage yet though.

February in Victoria. I love it!

Today I bottled my latest batch of beer at Bedford Brewing.

My last batch wasn't quite right and during its bottling I saw lots of foamy bottles. This usually means contaminated bottles. I wanted to avoid that again so I inspected my bottles very carefully and I was shocked that over half my bottles will have to be sent for recycling! There was lots of sediment, and some of them had mould growing in them. No wonder the last beer wasn't right.

I was able to watch the hockey game while I bottle which was nice too. Olympic hockey, Canada versus Russia. Lots of excitement coupled with fresh beer. Mmmm.

This time around I brewed their New World Brown. Very tasty. I am enjoying a bottle of it right now

Mmm, today I made an awesome decaf vanilla latte. Soo good I wanted to make another right away.

While in Ottawa I developed a sore lower back. It feels like all the muscles are super tight so bending or twisting in certain directions sends shooting pains throughout the area.

I've been treating myself with ibuprofen and heat but it is not getting any better so yesterday I decided to call my massage therapist.

The problem with having an awesome health professional is that they are quite often super busy. I can't get in until Friday. Yerg. I will make do until then.

This got me thinking though, pretty much every health professional that is super awesome is super booked up. Sox's doctor is hard to get in to see. Our massage therapist. Sometimes I even have to wait longer than I want to see my physiotherapist.

Unfortunately when I want to see these people, I generally need relief right away.
