whiski_sour | I'd like to start all over, if possible

I've managed to hurt myself.

I was on the floor at work, cleaning the baseplates for the costume jewelry (they get nasty in a hurry), and went to stand up and there was this twangPAIN in my lower back. I promptly went back down to my knees. After a few minutes I figured that I could either spend the rest of my shift on the floor, yell for help, or grit my teeth and pray I didn't piss myself when I stood up.

I was rather pleased that I managed to stand up without soiling myself, though I cursed a lot (and then thanked laws that the old lady on the other side didn't hear me).

And, thus ended the productivity on my shift as I was having trouble walking and couldn't bend over at all (found out that I can get the safe open with my foot, heh). No more cleaning for me (I always seem to hurt myself cleaning...it's a sign, I tell you).

Luckily, this all happened about 2:30 and my shift ended at four and I still had a break and it's Sunday and Morey doesn't expect me to work on Sundays (actually, he doesn't expect me to work at all).

I came home after work, slapped some Icy Hot on my back, ate, and then laid down for a couple of hours. It took me about fifteen minutes to get back up. Roll one way...nope, not going...roll the other way...okay, okay...WAIT! WAIT!...Start over.

I put on more Icy Hot and a heat pack and laid down again. This time it only took me about ten minutes to get up. After that I got smart and moved my computer chair in my room. It's easier to get up that way.

I further placated myself with more A-Team marathon. It helps take away the pain. Really.

butterflyflames, I hope Ian had a good birthday today. Tell him I said happy birthday and that his card is going to be late because Aunt Chesh is poor and had to wait until payday to get some cash to stick in it.

This heat pack is making me all sweaty.
