I got the car 2/3 unburied before I couldn't take any more pain. Of course as the hands warm up, the pain gets much worse. I usually describe it as if someone were trying to rip off the fingernails. This time it felt as someone were doing that while each fingertip was giving birth.
Once the hands warmed up and the pain receded, I remembered that I have pocket warmers. So I pulled a couple of those out and finished the shovelling pain-free. My brain really needs to prioritize some things differently.
How is your headache?
Still there. It's a vicious cycle with muscle tension in my neck. The headache won't let the muscles relax and the headache won't go away until they do. I've never been quite sure what has broken the cycle in the past.
That is a vicious cycle, aurelia. Would a massage or something like that help?
Maybe. But it'd probably take massages on consecutive days to make it last. My knotted muscles are pretty stubborn.
It's not nearly as bad as a migrane.
I hope you feel better soon, in any case.
Have you tried muscle relaxants, aurelia?
God, the end of tonight's OC gave me a goofy smile, which, really, is creepy.
While I do agree that
Jimmy is a pretty crappy dad,
I don't think
he was any better THERE.
I have no idea how one
goes away to grow up,
or how long it takes. That's the flaw in an otherwise ... dubious plan.
I haven't. PMS drugs have that, right?
I need a reminder. How does Jimmy connect to Cohens?
PMS drugs have that, right?
I don't know.
My doctor prescribed me flexoril to knock myself unconscious if the Imitrex doesn't work. It's not a practical drug, since I can't function on it, but it sure beats the crushing pain if I catch the headache before it roots into my brain, while it's still attached to my knotty neck.
How does Jimmy connect to Cohens?
Jimmy used to date Kirsten who then married Sandy. And they used to live next door, before the whole scandal.
