Weak
I hurt my back somehow and couldn't stay at work. It hurt this morning and got worse, so by the time I reached my office I was clenching my teeth to keep from crying, which didn't even work. I was so pitiful -- cringing in agony at my desk as I typed out an email that I was going home after collecting a few things. I still had some muscle relaxer medication from the previous bout of back drama, so I'm taking that to tide me over until my doctor gets back to her office tomorrow and can tell me what else to do. (Probably what I already am doing: resting.) This situation really sucks. I have way too much going on at work right now to be missing a day, but of course what can I do when I'm practically sobbing in agony? Ugh. I hate feeling like my body has betrayed me. Although, I think I brought this on by slacking on exercise during the Olympics and then starting up again yesterday with some core-strengthening exercises that must have tweaked the sensitive muscles. AND also brought it on by switching from my backpack to a shoulder bag. (I'd previously stopped using the shoulder bag because it was aggravating the back issues... as switching back to it has illustrated.)
Blah. I hope everyone else is having a better Wednesday than me!
