Dear Life: Bite Me!

Published on March 10, 2007 By MasonM In Blogging

Ok, I'm in a very foul mood this morning. I admit it. My back is hurting and spasming something awful. Too long in the bed I suppose. I woke around 5:00 local time this morning, took my pain pills and muscle relaxers, and then dozed again for a couple more hours. I was hoping that by the time I was ready to get out of the bed they would have started working and make getting up easier.

Yeah, right.

I managed to get up, get dressed (that was fun), and shuffle over to the restaurant to fill my coffee mug. I didn't sit at the counter for coffee as I had been doing as I simply wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. I brought my coffee back to my room and proceeded to try and sit here to surf the net a bit. Even with a pillow behind my back to prop me up a bit more I already can barely stand sitting in this chair and this pisses me off even more.

Yeah, it's gonna be a great day.

I know it is miserable when no matter what you try you cannot get comfortable. I pray your pain eases soon and you can get back on the road.

I'm keeping track of your trials Mason.

Sorry your back is hurting. Hope it gets better today.

Thanks LW. I saw it. I'm just not too sure I would be able to get back up off the floor at the moment. I was doing something similar earlier lying on the couch and elevating my legs in that manner using the arm of the couch. Not quite as hard as the floor, but it's a pretty firm couch.

Hope the back gets better soon. I'd suggest that perhaps the coffee was missing some ingredients (Irish style), but you probably wouldn't want to mix too much alcohol with the meds.

If there is a bright side, it is that you are no longer a Network Admin. Good luck with the back. See you at 2:00am (3:00am I guess).

Thanks. Yeah I'm taking it very easy on the booze right now. Just a couple here and there to help relax me.

Yeah, no time zone issues to deal with. Good luck, I hope everything is properly patched. I installed the new locale file in my desktop box last time I was home, and installed it in my laptop a few days ago so I'm good to go.
