The past few days I've been having some back and neck pain. My theory is essentially that I have been sitting on my computer too long. I can't say that I have confirmed this theory, but to be honest I see no other reason for my problems other than poor posture and spending too much time in emacs.

In order to combat this pain I have been getting up and walking around a good deal more. I also have been working on my posture and changing positions more so at the very least if I am sitting improperly, it won't have a chance to do that much damage.

I think the other reason my back has been hurting is simply b/c I am wound pretty tight. Most folks who meet me would think me to be insanely laid back, but my wife can attest to my rather wound up nature. I have made an effort to simply relax my body. My wife says I never breathe, which is impossible. Yet, it is clear that I need some help taking more deep breaths.

I also think I need to get out more. We have gone out a few times lately and it just hasn't been much fun for me. I can't put my finger on why I'm not enjoying myself as it is always good company. My guess is I'm just out of practice. I'm fortunate because Lauren does a great job of breaking my bad habits. She is on to my lack of enjoyment and I'm sure she'll figure out a way to get me back in the saddle regarding having fun soon enough
