My Achey Breaky Bitter Moody Geeky Heart(less) Condition...
I woke up this morning at 6:27am. Not bad. But not good either since my carpool pals tend to pick me up at around 6:20am. I txt'd said pals and told 'em to head along without me. I got out of bed, pulled myself together and headed outside to my car. And it was at that moment that I really let myself feel as shitty as I've been wanting to feel for the last 72 hours and captured it with my cell phone (see photo - "sadness - is a clown")...
See, I tweaked my shoulder at the bar on Monday and it hurt - bad. If you're on Twitter you already know this and are over my whining. So, bad shoulder goes along with bad small of back. I slept poorly and woke up on Tuesday in a cranky, stiff world populated only by me and my moody frustrations. On the drive to work I felt a dull, recurring pain in my left side. Nice. That pain stayed with me throughout the day and into the evening. I emailed Mom the nurse to see if I should go into full on panic mode. Why is my body rejecting me as I approach 35?
Well, Mom says it might be Diverticulitis (joy!) which runs on her side of the family. Basically she said to see if it passes as episodes tend to do (unless they require medication of course). Luckily I'm feelin' fine today so that's a plus.
My shoulder is still a mess and I don't know how much back-related pain you've had to deal with before but when you strain or pinch something you sorta move with kid gloves on. And in so doing you tend to just make everything all the more stiff and achy. So, to get around all of this I went ahead and made an appointment to get my back brutally hand raped by a professional thug a massage this evening by someone who has rather skillfully helped me out in the past. Now that is something that might just turn this week around.
So I just gotta get into some kind of working condition before the weekend when I'll need to be set should the apartment be ready to move into. Otherwise it'll just be a weekend of packing and prepping so the task is as pain free for dems that help me as possible.
In other news - I watched Munich last night. I thought it was pretty damn good (but wow - longish?)
In other, other news... I've been making some Friends list changes. They're mostly due to me getting buried in posts and just trying to keep around the LJs that I really dig on. So you might see yourself removed only to see yourself added back (if I just can't live without knowing what your favorite hotdog condiment is or which character from Alf you are most like). I'm also on the lookout for new must-read LJs. So if you know of someone who is geek like me and somewhat articulate feel free to pimp them. I'm also a fan of reading journals that frustrate the hell out of me (I'm an LJ sadist - really, some of the folks on my Friends list make me want to smack puppies with lead pipes, their douche scores are so high) so if you have someone like that you adore you can message me as you see fit too.
My 4th of July Holiday weekend was lovely, thank you. Hope yours was as well.
Based on Kevin Smith's claim of it being "epic" and
e_ticket giving it a solid YES as well, I'm seriously thinking about a 12:01am 7/17 viewing of the new Batman flick. It's playing in IMAX here... Anyone else interested?
