so this past monday... jonathan and i decided to spend the day, out riding our bikes - we went over to Oakland to visit our friend Ahmed who has re-opened his cafe called The Red Door (thank you sweet jesus!.... i never thought i would ever taste a veggielicious wrap inside my mouth again!)
we then rode from Oakland to Alameda across the green bridge
and all along the beach - it was one of my favorite rides so far
something about being out the noisey city made me feel back at home - we took a brief pit stop in a park that was lined with palm trees and took in the stillness all around us - yea, i could move to Alameda tomorrow
sucky part is .... all of the pictures i took, wont load up to my computer - fantastic!
sucky part 2 - i threw my back out - i literally, can not bend over - i took 1500mg of painkillers yesterday before work which nearly knocked me on my ass - but i fought though it - and worked my entire shift - after the painkillers wore off, i started rubbing some Arnica Gel all over my entire back - it did NOTHING - and neither did the pain killers - they were some cheap ones from wal-greens
so - today, i have schedule an exit-interview at my school - its at 1pm today - im sitting here in my chair, barely able to lift myself up to go poo trying to figure out how in the hell am i going to get myself all the way down town
when im in extreme pain, i laugh - like ridiculous hard - jonathan knew this morning i was in pain because i couldnt stop laughing - in time, the laugh turns into big sobbing tears falling from my face - it fucking hurts
have you ever thrown out your back before? it seriously feels like i have about 15 pinch nerves in my lower back all acting at once
before jonathan left for work this morning, he handed me some vicodin that i have been stashing away for severe pain - we'll see how i get on with those - i hate hate hate vicodin, it makes me throw up if i take too much, so im going easy
although im basically paralyzed at the moment.... i wouldn't trade it for the sweet smell and sun shine from Monday's ride - it was - BEAUTIFUL
ouch.
this is my life.. right now
