impyUgh. 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.
Anyway, if I were to rank my purchases from worst to best:
9. Long skirt - It's just not cute and will likely never be out in public unless I'm dog walking.
8. Blue shirt- Because blue is not as awesome as black.
7. Black shirt- Because black is slightly better than blue in this case.
6. This:
It cracks me up and I don't know why. Seriously, each time I even THINK about it, I smirk something fierce. Alas, it looks kind of awful on me as this is just not a style I can pull off. Which is a shame since I bought another shirt in the same style.
5. This one:
Looks worse on me, actually, but I enjoy the sentiment so much that it ranks higher. I also would feel less weird wearing this in public. Possibly because I wouldn't smirk every time I remembered what I was wearing. Possibly not.
4. Sailor Moon:
Of course this is the one item to run small. OF COURSE IT IS. So I'll have to be forever careful about not drying this one in the dryer. Woe. But it's cute and I like how it looks with my skirt sooooooo here we are. Oh, and this was also the shirt where the little plastic tag that holds the price tag was sewn INTO the collar of the shirt. Who does that?
3. Shorter blue skirt. Only higher than Sailor Moon because SM runs smaller than anticipated and I still think the Crystal art is a little tragic.
2. Meow:
Super cute. SUPER CUTE. I will wear the hell out of this. A+, would recommend to anyone and everyone. It's probably the item that will get the most use but it's not number one because...
1. Of this:
This is the most comfortable dress I believe I have ever worn as an adult and it looks pretty friggin' awesome on me. It's so comfy that I immediately wished I had somewhere to wear it because damn.
If I hadn't regressed back to "I'm dyiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggg", I'd be wearing this today just to be cute. For me. Indeed.
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.
