Pulled muscle?

I seem to have pulled a muscle or I’ve redeveloped some sciatica pain. I’m not quite clear which it is but I do know there’s some cramping of certain back muscles and there’s also sciatic like pain…maybe a bit of both? Anyway, spent much of the day in bed after taking medication for that. Obviously once I’d taken something, my attention and driving skills were needed. The second part wasn’t at all possible so alternate arrangements had to be made.

So I set up in bed with my laptop and played Civilization IV, which I had only just got working for the first time on Vista this weekend (long story with little success until my recent endeavors). I played a full game on my desktop computer yesterday but had more fun with the current game as I get back into the gameplay again. Civilization is probably one of my favorite computer games ever so it’s been good to be able to play it without the hassle of running XP . The medication (just one tablet) pretty much knocked me out within an hour so I slept off and on much of the rest of the afternoon. I’m feeling a bit better tonight so will just take half a tablet for bedtime and get to sleep. I think I might need the drowsiness effect after so much sleep this afternoon.
