*snark snark*
Aug. 6th, 2002 10:06 amI was gonna title today's entry "Yesterday's experiment...failed" until I saw Kenji's most recent post. Great minds think alike, or make Excel references, or something.
So anyway, the short version since I can't seem to keep from bitching if I talk much today--ended up being able to only work a half day yesterday. Spent the evening using a heating pad on my legs, then switching back to ice when my Dad suggested it might help more with the swelling. The Naproxen really did a number on my stomach all day. Today, basically the same--dunno if I'll get through all of a workday or not. I brought both my bag of ice and heating pad, but they don't seem to do horribly much, and I'm still just worn out in general.
I'm tired, sore, stiff, gimpy, slow-to-nearly-immobile, irritable, cranky, annoyed, aggravated, and impatient at the lack of more improvement. I know recovery's inevitably slow going, but I guess I'm just fried and frustrated, and wanting everything to be back to normal *now*. Picture it as me being basically little more than a petulant child right now, having one giant mental temper tantrum in my head. Unfortunately it is bleeding out on others a bit--I was *somewhat* right to be upset at James for another instance in his bad habit of procrastination this morning, but really let him have it more than necessary. I let my stress spark getting angry, and blew it out of proportion.
Guess all there is to do is get through hour by hour. I'll work what I can, and go home when I need. I'll use the ice and the heating pad, and keep taking the Naproxen and just deal with it making my stomach hurt sometimes (while making me painfully hungry other times). I'll rest, but go to my lesson tonight, and just keep hoping that I won't be too tired to get back on AIM soon, or to practice on Unmei (only one practice this entire last week, luckily I practiced extra long Saturday, but still...), or simply to keep from sleeping during the day (which now results in having trouble sleeping at night).
Okay, I'm blah. I'm whining, bitching, snarking, all that. I'll get back to being patient about everything soon, I promise. It's just a pessimistic, down, extremely frustrated, snarky, worn-down-my-last-nerve day today. I'll just get through today, and try again tomorrow. :p

My advice. Have fun and make everyone run after you.. They will feel like they're helping out! ^_~
Take care and many many gingerly soft huggles.

Date: 2002-08-07 06:08 am (UTC)I'm definitely trying to take it easy--even as much stuff as I still do, I'm getting a lot (too much it feels like at time) of rest on the couch time. ^^
*extrahugs* Hope things are treating you well!

You take care and more hugs!
