This just sucks...
I never lay out of work, Never. I don't call in sick. But I came home yesterday. Carrying laundry down the stairs can be hazardous to your upright mobility in this house. I smacked my forehead on the cornice over the stairs because I was looking down trying NOT to trip down the stairs over the four cats weaving in and out of my legs. Apparently they believe that if someone comes down the stairs or in the door, they are supposed to be plied with food.
Anyway, I didn't think much of it, until I got to work yesterday and tried to sit up at my computer and raise my hand when I needed assistance. Neck, shoulders, back and eventually my head, locked and loaded. Not pleasant. So, because I have been a good employee and earned time off, I took a sick day. I took 800mg of Ibuprofen and slept flat on the bed, no pillows for three hours. This morning the tughtness is still there, but the pain is gone. I hope this means work will not be what it was yesterday.
I did manage to water everything outside. So the day wasn't a total waste of my time on the planet.
Now it's off to work again. I'm taking the IB with me today.
