For those what celebrate it, happiest of solstices to you.
I am hanging out today with a friend. We plan to go shopping, and then put together a gloriously fancy chicken dinner. Then, we shall play Skylanders until our thumbs stop working.
All in all, a good day shall be had.
I think it ran out four years ago.
Not on my car.
On my body. 😦
I am sitting here, stiffly, painfully, and somewhat embarrassed with a bulged disc in my lower back.
How did I get this?
Competitive rodeo-clowning?
Bar fight with a pack of Dobermans and their poodle overlords?
Crash testing a new rocket sled in the back forty?
Nein.
I got it, DO NOT LAUGH, by sitting for hours in my crappy office chair while I look for a job. I think the Evil Bed might also have played a heinous part in this tragedy.
At any rate, I finally went to the University Health Services – because I had serendipitously gotten an email that said I had a ‘Grace Semester’ left to use their services, post-graduation. The very nice doc gave me Rx for Prednisone, a corticosteroid, to help with the inflammation. She also prescribed generic Norco for the pain. I’m not a huge fan of taking pills or meds, but I am pathetically grateful for these.
Even if I do sit up until 3AM looking up drug interactions, side effects, and the like.
Aw, man.
Still out there looking for a job. Still trying to figure out the consulting writer gigs and opportunities. Still trying to figure out what needs to go in a professional writer portfolio.
Wasn’t there supposed to be a manual for Adulthood? ’cause I never got mine, if so.
The Google image search for it is pretty hysterical, though.
There's a learning curve.
