I gotta tell ya, Dearies...it's just not easy being me sometimes.
My stupid lower back muscles all got together when I was sleeping and decided to REVOLT. I thought I was getting a little better yesterday, but the pain level has ratcheted up from a level seven to a HOLEY SCHMOLEY, and I am one big fat weepy miserable little cow..
I promised myself that if it wasn't substantially better by tomorrow I would call my PCP (that's Primary Care Physician in insurance speak), but methinks I might do that this afternoon instead.
Thank you for all of your tips and suggestions. I am ridiculously limited as to the things I can take/do because of BellyBean, but it does make me feel a bit better knowing that I am not the only human person on the planet who has pulled a muscle before.
Needless to say, there has been no stitching or diamond painting progress to report. Here's where we left things on the Cotton & Twine June project:
And here's what I've been doing all morning/afternoon:
The selection was serendipitous, since I googled "Shakespeare at Notre Dame" and discovered that there is quite a program/department of Shakespeare studies there. I knew that there was something called Actors From The London Stage, and I kind of knew that performances were common on campus, but little did I realize that there is quite an advanced Shakespeare Program at Notre Dame! AND...in August, they have a Shakespeare Festival and this year's performance selection is King Lear! If all goes according to plan, I'll get to see it the last weekend of August!
So that's the report from the friendly confines of CS2 today. I hope that your corner of the world is exactly what you need it to be!
Hope you will be on the mend soon! I feel your pain! At age 66 my German Shepherd became a speed bump and I landed face down...yikes...for 16 days, but who's counting, my ribs expressed how angry they were. And you know the rest, can't get comfortable, can't sleep n can't just generally enjoy life. But all good now so keep the faith, you'll be back to you real soon!
ReplyDeleteOh my dear Spinster....so so sorry you're in pain. Yes...definitely time to reach out to your PCP. Sending you comfortable thoughts. Keep us posted. King Lear! I'm impressed. I've never read or seen KL. When I was finishing my BA I considered taking a class devoted to Billy Shakespeare, but picked something else instead. Here on the Palos Verdes Peninsula they host "Shakespeare in the Park" throughout the summer. Usually two plays are chosen. I've never been, but know many people that have gone & enjoyed it. xoxo 😘 m
ReplyDeleteBetween your back and my knee, we make a great pair, Coni. I hope your PCP is able to do something for you. My knee gets another few days before I make the call. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Dr has some answers and help. Keep us posted Coni.
