Party#5 was an awesome intimate special supper with Becca, Michelle, Lesley & Jacob. I took Lesley up on her offer come and pick me up and really appreciated it. We went to Gabanna – Rating: 
and I had green onion cakes with sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese to start. Followed by the Baked Portobello Mushroom with brie, tofu, and vegetables. I also had a beautiful dry red wine from Italy that I forgot to make note of the name. It was good times, with good friends thanks guys!
Then it was home to watch Big Brother which I was nervous about because of the Republican National Convention. I had tapped Big Brother because I was out for supper and was scared it would be preempted. Turns out yes it was preempted but I managed to tape long enough to witness Renny’s eviction, and also Dan winning Head of Household. I couldn’t be more thrilled! I really expect and hope for Dan and Memphis to go to the final two. Ideally I think I want Dan to win first place but I would be fine with Memphis winning too.
Party #6 was drinks after work. I managed to go into the office for about 2 pm and clear up some stuff that I needed to be in the office to handle. Then we all left for Co Co Di’s – Rating: 
for many drinks. I think that I was killing the pain with their awesome Caesars and the tequila shot Farhan sent over. I was happy to see everyone, there were about 14 co-workers/friends from past and present that were able to come and I enjoyed visiting with everyone!
Party #7 was dancing at the bar. Soooooo NOT going to happen with my back so it was cancelled.
Party #8 was bowling today. Again not going to happen with my back. My Chiropractor told me I could go bowling but if I did he would start looking at new cars because I would be making him rich. So I canceled this event too.
Party #9, and the final party, is my family party. Right now it is still scheduled for a nice day relaxing at the cabin but we will see how today plays out.
Update on the back is that I more than likely have a small tear in one of my discs. So I am supposed to rest but at the same time not sit too long, not stand too long and not lay down too long. This combined with an anti-inflammatory and ice. So I am resting as much as one can while making sure I change positions constantly.
I need to make sure it is healed ASAP because I head to Toronto and Montreal in 9 days.
