my flare up seems to be cooperating,or is at least responding to muscle relaxers and anti inflammatories. this is good. i look forward to being able to roll over in bed tonight, even if there isn't anyone there but a cat who wants to nom my hair. I also missed a really great party tonight because i can't drive, ride my bike, or walk more than a few blocks in this amount of pain. FMS can kiss my ass. OTOH, been wearing exactly the same jammies for over 24 hours now and i'm totally ok with that. Changing shirts would just be too dangerous. Glad i called in sick, somehow i doubt my coworkers would have appreciated unshowered and unbra-d me in my scooby doo/bat jammie pants and shlumpy cardigan.

eta: and i have also discovered that i can decorate eggs on muscle relaxers and narcotics far better than on a half glass of wine. apparently booze makes my hands shaky, but not flexeril, naprosyn, or oxycodone. go figure. at least i was able to do *something* today other than moan and whine to myself.

I made it out tonight for three hours, whioh is four more than I thought. I'm glad I made it out, but my cold has me wiped. 2 drinks and in by 11:15 -- wow, I am...hmm, less say way more settled.

Barb, library day sounds good.

Woo, I get to see amych fence tomorrow! You may all begin dying of jealousy.

That does sound very cool, Steph.

Erin O, I hope your flareup subsides soon.

I managed to force myself to power through the depression. It helped that my siblings buggered off somewhere else. I've spent my time cataloging the plants I bought at Annie's Annuals when I was in the Bay Area. I'm looking forward to another hot bath to try to get the involuntary muscle contractions to lessen.

Have a wonderful hot bath, Spidra - I'm sorry for the suck.

Barb, I'm glad you had a good day.

So, leaving soon the handle that budget. My question is: yes, I'm excited about my new job, but why can't I stay home and watch Wonderfalls?

Having one of those 'where's that truck that ran over me?' days. Possibly because I helped The Girl build a wardrobe and then wandered round Ikea yesterday. Was mistake. I always knew Ikea was evil.

erin_o, here's hoping your flare sorts itself out soon. FMS sucks.

Spidra, sorry about the sucky day. I hope today's better.

Yay great job, Shir! But sorry about not being able to stay home and watch the telly. Where's that technology allowing us to be in two places at once? It needs inventing.

Have a less tired/headachey day today, smonster.

I woke up in lots of pain this morning, but thankfully prescription strength naproxen seems to have worked all day--I managed to take dance lessons all day (though I pooped out about ten minutes before the end of the last one and went to take a nap). And then went to the evening dance from 830 til 1am (though I didn't dance every dance). An had enough energy to enjoy making out with a cute girl. Yay!! Stopped in at the afterparty, but classes start again at 10am so am off to sleep...class all day tomorrow, maybe a date, and dancing at night. Wheee!

Sorry you woke up in pain, meara, but yay prescriptions!

Heh. Pain is a rather expected price for all this dancing! I'm just hoping to make it to the end--last year I was soooo done by Sunday night. And I have work to do on Monday and can't sleep all day like I'm sure I'll want to!

How does the universe gets away with most of our wants and needs, I do not know, let me tell you that.

Dude, where's my teleporter?
