I've got family down in Hokitika. Or am I thinking the wrong Christchurch?
That's entirely the right Christchurch - but I had to look it up. I'm not familiar enough with the area to know what's where. :)

Still present but have had back issues for the past two weeks ..
Ahh, that sucks to hear dude. Back problems are the worst.
I've had recurring back issues on and off for the last two years. I put on
so much weight.
I finally got better recently and I've been able to start weight training again, feels amazing to have my mobility and core strength back.
Best of luck to your recovery! Can't pray (not religious) but sending good/healing vibes your way. :)
Actual Extended Absence Stuff
I'm flat out right now, not sure how regularly I'll be able to get onto this game for the next 4-5 days or so.
I've got my last day at the office getting my clients ready for me to be on leave. I'm in IT, I'm the top-level "get this guy in case of emergency" person. All my clients are in logistics in the busiest time of year, so... Yeah. Busy.
Then I've got all the house/prep shit for a two day road trip with three humans and two border collies, and the yard is already overflowing. So on top of everything else, I need to beat it back into submission so the month while I'm away doesn't get utterly ridiculous, don't want the neighbors hating me. Full days' effort right there, easy.
Then up at the crack of dawn on Sunday to kick off the two day road trip itself.
I'll have a laptop with me and I'll be keen to get online when I can. But family and dog and driving and sleep time comes first.
Should be back to regular-ish posting once I'm set up in Christchurch and back to a normal routine, which should be sometime after Tuesday 22nd Dec NZ time. :)
