i might as well change my name to mabel.
so, saturday morning, i realized i had thrown my back out.
you heard me right.
i have NO idea how. and i tried to power through it, but getting on with my day and trying really hard not to drop anything (because i can't bend over. what i end up doing is this sort of modified crane-type thing where i stand on one leg and bend at only one hip, with my other leg behind me for balance. it struck me as rather graceful, until i almost kicked someone in a store because my legs are so damn long i didn't realize my toe extends almost three full feet behind me). but by saturday night, i was curled up in bed with my hot water bottle, as spencer listened to me whimper from the other room.
i called my mom, the x-ray tech, today, and she explained how i probably pinched something in my lumbar and that i basically have to coddle myself until it gets better. easier said than done, seeing as how i have to heft around samples all day at work, whilst wearing heels. granted, i'm a giantess, so i don't wear anything more than kitten heels, but its still enough to strike me off balance every so often.
booo.
we have absolutely no food in the house, either. so tomorrow i have to go to ralps with spence after work. we're working on making our apartment into something that looks as though "real" people live there- you know, not students. we've been watching an awful lot of HGTV. this is also partially because we do not have real cable, and it is one of the few channels that comes in clearly. we bought a bookcase from ikea and laid it on its side for a tv stand. its pretty. we also bought a wisk and a stuffed rat. we have a nice collection of small, grey fuzzy friends growing on our desk. we have the rat, a small triceratops, and a small grey sheep. we also have the monkey my mom got me for christmas (we get a stuffie every year) and the bear alyse got me for my birthday sophomore year.
i really. really. miss boston. tyler's trying to get us to visit (really, he's trying to get spence to visit, but come with the package). i have to swing getting there for graduation, even though i technically don't have vacation or sick days until june. its also going to be mildly awkward because tyler is now dating an emerson grad (wlp class of '06) who is much, much cooler than me. and hangs out with people who would never have even acknowledged my presence when i was in school. which sucks. will high school antics never leave us alone??
anyhoo, my lovey is supposed to be home from work any moment now. it makes me happy. but he's gonna be all sweaty, which is kinda gross. we need to get him a car.
