Feeling a moment slip away...
Exhaustion and agony--it's a toss up at this point.
I pulled my back out while at work on Thursday, most likely from me being the only one to climb all over the helo that day. The knot that has taken up residence along my shoulder blade is about baseball size. Brian tried his best to kneed the darn thing out when he got here on Friday, but didn't have any luck. Add that on top of traveling for two days, half of which I was on the back of a crotch-rocket with a backpack on, and you can see why I'm in a bit of pain.
The trip wasn't bad though. We took the train up to LA and then got on a bus to take us to Bakersfield and finally finished up the rest of the journey up to Modesto on the train again. We stayed at Brian's best friends' place and then left to return shortly after breakfast on Sunday. We did our best to stop every 50 miles, and my backside (in all senses of that word) really appreciated it. We did drive around Hollywood for a little while and that was pretty enjoyable since I'd never been there, and the mountains that we drove through before that were gorgeous, even if the weather was extremely cold. I think we finally got back to my place around 7 or 8pm, and then went and grabbed some Panda Express and watched Grey's Anatomy--a great way to end :)
As for my back now, well, I was gratefully given some Advil at work and that seemed to help. I'm really crossing my fingers that it's at least tolerable tomorrow because I'd really rather not have to go to Medical for this.
Tomorrow night I have class, Thursday I have my PC board with a possible mock board on Wednesday, and Friday I have watch. I've got laundry to do, homework to ignore, and boys to pursue--life can't be busier ;)
