Heh.
My tat placement...right ankle & left wrist...were specifically chosen so that I can see them all the time.
My theory has always been, it if costs and is painful, I should be able to enjoy it. Turns out neither of my tattoos did either, but still.
Dear every joint in my body,
I am already aware of the fact that we are going to get a big storm. No need to keep informing me.
No love,
Me
Snowing in DC, but not sticking. On the other hand, we're only supposed to get nuisance amounts of snow.
i'm staying home from work today. It's mostly because my hips are hurting pretty badly, and I need a bit more rest, but also because the roads and sidewalks are really icy, and I don't trust my unstable joints right now to get me there safely.
Seriously!
"Nuisance" is the right word for this snow. Useless and annoying.
I have returned safely from the market. Every other crazy person in my town was also there. No snow yet.
Regarding the effect of the weather on the body, I've been noticing lately that I often get headaches and non-specific body aches when it's raining/going to rain. That's when barometric pressure drops, right?
It's kind of weird working for a New Jersey company when I'm in Virginia. The office is closing early (I get to keep working, of course), they've switched the servers to the Arizona back-ups just in case, my co-workers are battening down their hatches, and I'm all, yeah, it's raining a bit here. Why'n't'ch'all move down South?

I think so, yeah. Did I already post this? I seriously can't remember. The last time I had a weather-induced headache, I finally looked up what the actual mechanism is that causes pain (headache, joint pain) when the weather changes.
Well, when we're having high pressure, it's basically like a consistent all-over pressure on the body, like holding something in. When pressure drops, the body reacts to less pressure by thinking it would be a great idea to try to expand, so sinuses and other tissue apparently are trying to just get the hell OUT of your body.
The pain is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE.
Same mechanism that causes the bends in divers who come up too fast when they've been down longer/deeper over a certain amount of time. Dissolved gasses come out of solution and want to invade all the crevices of your body. Ouchie.
My face/sinuses are Killing Me today. I want to kill them.
