much needed time off

I’m on vacation this week. Pretty much a forced vacation. I booked a 4 day weekend with visions of catching up on homework and possibly getting ahead in a few classes. Then I went grocery shopping. The fall I took on Saturday turned out to be much worse than I’d thought once Sunday rolled around. Muscles in my back, neck and shoulders I didn’t even know I had ached. I’m used to permanent lower back pain from my car accident over a decade ago but this was new. I couldn’t take a full breath for the pain.
So, instead of returning to work today, I’m returning next Monday. At least I might manage catching up in classes while I struggle through the week. Focus is a bit difficult to keep when you’re hopped up no on muscle relaxants.
Still trying to find a bright shiny new position. Until then I need to keep working in the previous position to pay all those not so shiny bills and my tuition and book costs at university.

“Hopped up ‘no’ muscle relaxants…”
Wow…you ARE a hurtbag! Oddly enough, my neck was killing me yesterday too. Sympathy pains perhaps?
Thinking of you…

Ouch. Don’t want to re-experience that pain for anything. I’ve done so much damage to my back over the years I really should leave the house wearing a pillow on all sides of me.
Perhaps a nice massage is in order?
