Just another manic Monday
Why oh why do Mondays have to suck so much?
Okay, so it's not that bad, it could totally be lots worse. But still. Mondays should be banned. (Seriously. How awesome would it be to have a four-day work/school-week and three-day weekends all the time? I think people would totally be more productive and less stressed.)
My back is hurting today. :( It got steadily worse all day, so I was desperate for some Advil when I got back from work. Then I sat down with my lovely heating pad and my back felt better ... until I got up and moved around a bit and then it started hurting again.
At least it's just aching and not spazzing. That's good. But I have to be very careful so as not to trigger a full spaz.
I'm thinking it's stress-related, since previous episodes with my back have been at least stress-aided if not stress-induced. Which upsets me. I know I waxed angsty about my stressing last week, but I thought I'd calmed down since then. I hate it when I think I've calmed down and then my body goes and pulls stress symptoms on me.
I also hate that I have a little-old-lady back. I'm only 24! (For those not in the know, I did some damage to my back in high school. I'm pretty sure it started with a very minor car accident, and then was complicated by my running. That's also when my running days went down the drain. That was not a good year. Then at Bryn Mawr, I had two or three incidents where I sprained my back and couldn't move for a couple days. The not-moving inevitably stressed me out more since I couldn't get any homework or work done, and the stressing didn't help me get better, so it was all one lovely vicious circle.)
Also, I'm annoyed with the relabeling I have to do at work. As I've said before, it's fairly interesting since I get to peek at the negatives, which are mostly of Byzantine art and archaeology stuff. But I have to do the actual relabeling by hand. Which was all fine and dandy until I decided that I have really got to start writing again.
I write by hand. Pen and paper, baby. I'm old school like that. I know typing is faster and easier to rearrange and stuff, but that's not how I work. I'm much more comfortable with pen and paper. Me and my stories and characters, we've got a pen and paper system. (When my stories and characters are on speaking terms with me, that is.) (Crazy writer? Yeah...)
But now when I have some free time and want to write something, my hand is already all tired from labeling negatives. *sigh* Whatever. I'll manage somehow. Just don't mess with my left hand, 'cause it'll be really strong from all this writing. Or something.
I need to stop talking crazy now....
