TnT my back hates me rn
Soooo last night I mentioned how I had to sit in the common room since the roommate is sick.
This ended up being actually dangerous, since I am always finding new and inventive ways of hurting myself.
Basically, there are four pieces of furniture in there: a couch and a chair, both more uncomfortable than any piece of furniture I have ever sat on (the cushions are like actively trying to push you off the seat, and the 'arms' are too skinny and hard for anybody to ever actually rest their arms on comfortably); and a coffee table and an end table. I had been sitting on the couch and resting my feet on the end table, but last night I decided to try the chair instead!
And then because I am incredibly me, I ended up with my computer on the coffee table, hunched over it. For like two hours. When I got up to go to bed, my back went "OH FUCK NO." and I pretty much almost fell over.
When I woke up this morning it really wasn't much better, so I finally took some alieve (tbh I didn't take it last night because I didn't think I actually had any and didn't want to search for it in the dark) and slept through my first class. Or rather, most of my first class. I actually could have gone to half of it, but was so confused when I woke up that I went to my second class instead, except...I actually went to the second half of the FIRST SECTION of my second class, that is, the section I'm not even in, which ended with both me and the teacher very confused when he tried to find my test to hand back to me, but HE was quite sure I was in the first section as well, and it wasn't until after I got out of class and looked at my phone and realized my class didn't start for another HALF HOUR that I realized I had been in the wrong class. Omfg.
So I have another class after 3 and then I am supposed to drive home, only I don't know if I can actually sit up for that long. It's better now, but still...wicked uncomfortable, especially when sitting. Basically I don't want to drive when I'm this distracted by pain, and also this tired because obviously I didn't sleep very well last night (I had the fucking weirdest dreams, lol, and one of them was about Black and White 2, wtf. But I always have weird dreams when I'm in pain). So I called dad and he's going to be in Boston tonight anyways, so he's going to come pick me up around 10-11ish, unless mom wants to come pick me up before then, but I doubt it.
But the worst part is that now I will have to postpone my grocery shopping trip for all the baking I wanted to do until tomorrow. Unless mom picks me up early and wants to go out with me, but IDK if I can remain upright for that long, lol. But, at the rate I am recovering now, I expect to be fully functional by tomorrow. With the help of some ibuprofen.
And since I keep promising to talk about reiki but still haven't, really...I did use some reiki to sooth it, I probably wouldn't have been able to sleep otherwise. It didn't help overmuch, but I was able to relax the muscles (which helped quite a bit immediately afterwards) and, as usual, it put me easily in a meditative state, which helped me basically ignore the pain.
