I'm sorry you're having a hard time, Suzi. Hugs. I'm glad it's a bit better today.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Naps are good. I was just about to take one but ltc already seems to be waking up from hers.

Thanks, Pix. I feel like I've done a bunch of things this morning - updated my hair color, showered, worked a half day, and have been able to walk without a crutch or relying on walls for support. Things I can't do yet - bend over/squat without pain.
I've submitted my timesheet for the week. I have a new class starting on Monday, so my plan for the afternoon is to nap and start reading my text book. I may not remember the details, but hopefully I'll remember the big picture stuff.

hip deep in pie
I threw out my back on Wednesday bending down to empty out the dehumidifier, (I didn't even pick it up!) and for some reason, I only got muscle relaxants tonight. What was I thinking?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I have a stability ball at my desk at work. 1) It cost $25 which is wayyyyyyy cheaper than a good office chair that would be comfortable as well as commodious enough for my delicate posterior; 2) I can take breaks to do stretches for the benefit of my piriformis; 3) wiggling around on it while working seems to prevent a boatload, or should I say buttload, of stiff-and-sore-ness when I get up. I highly recommend sitting on stability balls while working.
One drawback is in humidity, it can get kind of sweaty in a way that fabric upholstery does not.
ETA Sue, Suzi, everybody in pain, I wish you ease and improvement.
I am having not-quite coping. I'm having my second period since I started taking lexapro three and a half weeks ago. I can say that it is champion of toning down the PMS rage/anxiety (not quite coping is dead brilliant comparatively) that I've had with my cycles the last year-ish. Hasn't touched the deep resentment at having another period in less than a month when I was not expecting it for a couple of months, oddly enough.

Thrive to spite them
I'm at my nephew's swim meet. First one I've been to this year. I forgot to bring ear buds to listen to music. It's already too much noise.
I can't leave. Well I could but I don't think I could find parking we were late and it was already tricky.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I hope everyone's doing as well as can be this morning.
Andi, they make stability ball covers, so you don't have to stick to them: [link]
Peanut woke up at 5, and I managed to get her back down, but now I'm up. Usually that would be okay, since I work Saturday mornings, but I took this Saturday off. Ah, well. more time to screw around on the interwebs.

Happy screwing around, juliana.
It did not occur to me that I could make a cover for it. Hmmm...
askye, I wish relief and tolerance.

Our wings are not tired.
My current working setup is a big comfy chair with my computer on a side table and keyboard and mouse on a laptop board. I am using the ball from my stability chair loose as a footstool. It works great because of the soft bounce factor.

Soooo, I think Tom and I will run away from Columbus when we are there for a week over Xmas (12/24-31.) Since I am procrastinating, I have starting planning the trip, and I think we'll head to Cincinnati for a few days, 12/28-31.
So, Teppy, flea, Hil - where's a fun neighborhood to stay in that has cool restaurants and breweries and such?
