Ugh. UGH. *rages at the sky*
Not for the rain. That's fine, that's cool, that's actually helpful. No, my rage is because this time yesterday I was pretty much down to only twinges of pain that would go up half a notch when getting up out of bed or off a chair or something similar. Then sometime last night, while I was snoozing, I felt my back go crunch and then spent the next four hours (more?) in back spasm hell. I found out that Salon Pas patches do nothing for me (or didn't this time) and that I still will whine in my head about how many horrible outcomes I can envision while in agony.
I also learned that just popping the knock off Tylenol helps 900% more than almost anything. I went from not being able to move to being able to lean over and feed the cat with only issues on the getting back up. Then I found my Ben Gay (I'm old, shut it) after looking for it for more than a week now and I'm almost back to relatively no pain. Sooo... back to where I was Sunday? Not quite as good as I was yesterday after work, but not anywhere near as bad as I was at 1am when I was debating whether the ER was a thing I should be considering, should I ever be able to actually move beyond sitting on the side of my bed.
So yay for the setback only being temporary so far. Here's hoping it's not my bed trying to murder me because I don't really have the money to buy a new bed. And also I like my bed, dammit.
I believe I owe a clothing update? Indeed. Well, there are pictures for the Torrid stuff because it's cute, and we'll get to that in a second. I also got two skirts in navy because black was sold out. They're basically the same skirt, only one is shorter than the other and it is far cuter, but I wasn't sure when I ordered if the shorter one would be too short, y'know? Gotta factor in the butt in these things, k? The longer skirt, alas, is that unflattering length that's like mid calf to ankle and is just why, why would you make something that length unless it magically came with boots? Blergh. I'll work with it because it's actually going to work decently for walking the dog at night, especially when it's windy.
In that order, I also snagged two painfully boring t-shirts that are essentially the same damn shirt in different colors. I think technically the necklines are different, but when I look at them, I see a plain shirt that a dude could buy for like, five bucks and get a multipack. Luckily the coupon I had made them both around $5 sooooo... it's just that they're painfully dull. SO DULL.
( Pictures, but not of me. )
It's so number 1 that not even hearing Cass go "oh, I bet it's cute on you but it looked awful on me" could bring it down. Of course it's cute on me and not on you! The universe clearly had to set aside ONE thing for me. Well. Two. I look better in purple hair, but I'm not gonna tell her that. :P
Gotta go make something to eat since it's almost time for Tylenol, round 2. Can't do that on an empty stomach, no.
