severe back pain right now. It's been a slight problem for a few days, but just flared up for no reason. It's something I get every so often for no apparent reason. Usually lasts no more than a week (a week of paure agony!) Been dealing with this for a few yeasr, think it is due to a back injury I had - pulled something / slipped something while streatchin my muscles, then decided to bend down to pick up something off the floor - then back just spasmed... I usually get a recurrence at least once a year.  Just took a LOT of DHC and Codine (don't worry I'm used to that dose) just waiting for it to kick-in. the pain doesn't go away, but it does numb enough that I can cope. right now just breathing is making me want to scream! So I can definitely say I'm maaking GAAAAARRRGGHH noises quite regularly and loudly!  SS |

So I can definitely say I'm maaking GAAAAARRRGGHH noises quite regularly and loudly! :'( SS Hope you get well soon! I know that sort of back pain; if for some reason I can't do any sports for a while (like now, grrr!) my back hurts once in a while too. I take pain medication, then I start dancing. Not a joke! It gets better or I pass out from pain... either way I'm fine! My GAAAH!!!: I've been in my new job for about a week now and the trend of my new colleagues scaring the cr*p out of me continues. When I come to work, they're already sitting at their desks, when I leave nine hours later, they're still there. Always working. They don't take a lunch break (as opposed to me). They don't talk about anything not work-related. I swear, they're not human!!! My working days seem to be very long... and the week is even longer... *sigh* When I come come, it's so late and I'm so exhausted from my day, I can't even think about doing something creative or fun. I have no time for sports - even though I really wanted a job so I could become a member at the local fitness club, but now I know, when I come home at half past seven, I'm too knackered. And I cannot write stories anymore, my head feels like it's been stuffed with a down cushion. Tomorrow morning it's back into the treadmill. I dread my day.  P.S. If it were not for some Steampunk events (like the Surrey Convivial) to look forward to, I'd go bonkers! Seriously! P.P.S. Yes, I keep looking for another job. |

Today's gahhhhhhh: The Honor Thread. Some pretty stupid sh!t has been said - completely unworthy of comment. This is a world forum full of assorted and possible conflicting cultures, and some of the comments can be construed (subjectively of course) to be a bit insulting. Have you no honor??  and ... my shoulder and arm are still feel as though someone has torn it from my body and beat me with it. I'm starting to reconsider my personal ban on painkillers (another gahh in itself). Good tidings to all who seem to be inflicted with similar maladies. |

The nastiest case of hangover ever--a sign that I really need to quit doing crazy @#%^ like this.
Combined with a massive nose bleed. I basically sneezed really hard and *blam* there was blood all over the place.
And my head itches because I shaved it.

Today I woke up feeling like I'd died and then been microwaved back to living temperature.
Going to miss counselling today and my counsellor is away next week and so no session for 2 weeks. Joy.

Back still hurting, but not as bad. At least I can walk upright now. Sleeping was.....difficult. Still, I guess I don't have much to complain about. The husband of a friend of my mother has recently been diagnosed with Cancer - for the third time in five years, previously had Kidney and Colon cancers. To top it all, EACH HAS BEEN UNRELATED TO THE LAST! He now has Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The thing is, this bloke eats healthy, is not overweight, NEVER smoked, rarely drinks, and was even a professional footballer. It's not like you could see this coming. And last night he was rushed to hospital after having a serious heart attack. They removed three blood clots, but the stent they used during the procedure, means that he now can't go through with either his chemo or radiotherapy treatments until it's removed. Wonderfull. The poor bloke was due to retire from work at the end of this month too. Some retirement! So yeah, I got nothing to complain about... SS |

Functional Capacity Evaluation today. If I am rated at anything HIGHER than 36% off my game, I'm permanently disabled.
Right now, I can lift my arm to just over parallel with the ground, and can lift around 5lbs.
Am quite nervous about the whole ordeal.

Wishing I could turn my emotions off. I have so much swirling around in my head that it's giving me a terrible headache and I'm not sleeping well. The bad part is I can't find the source. I just want this to stop, want the world to just go away for a while. I can't even find the words to describe my state of mind.

I know that Supernatural is riddled with cult references, and I love Weird Science, was just telling my lady that we ought to have an 80's cult movie marathon party (after watching Jumping Jack Flash and Can't Buy Me Love) but I could not remember where Dean's line came from. |

If you wanna have a long 80's movie party you've gotta have something truly weird for the die-hard crazies who stay to the end... at that point it doesn't really matter what the film is it just needs to be VERY 1980's and plot should be optional...therefore you should get a copy of Liquid Sky... Equal parts WTF, rubbish and cool...

Slipped on the ice/water combination covering the car-park at work today (despite the hiking boots).
Left leg went left, right leg went right, severe injury prevented by grabbing my car door handle.
Unfortunatly the seat of my trousers had worn thin and couldn't cope with the manoevre, so life suddenly became very draughty around the nether regions.
I spent the rest of the day ( 6 hours) sitting down at my desk, zooming about on a wheeled office chair or sidling around the outside of the rooms with my back to the wall!

Our friend's oldest daughter is staying with us for awhile. Why is the GAH... Two months back I created a behavioral profile of somebody who was causing issues in my fiance's life. (different person from the one I have been talking about recently) Needless to say my predictions I drew based upon it were confirmed and I was further able to build more on. Her friend's daughter feels safer with us. On one hand it is upsetting me that anything I had predicted was right. I had him right here in front of me (literally from where I type) I wish I had done something then. Hopefully this monster gets handled legally. Her mom is in touch with the authorities. What is sad about the victims I know about is that they have all been victims before, it has to be something in his M.O. |

Found out wife keeping me out of loop re sons apparent ocd. Apparently been to counselling several times without telling me then threw it all out when I decided to do something about the situation myself. Now not sure what else I don't know about or have not been told and a 20 year marriage appears to be straining - to the point of rupture. Dammit .

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

Well, the truth about how I feel about someone my family doesn't approve of is now out in the open, and I'm now on shaky ground with my family because of it. I feel better not having to hide things from them anymore, but at the same time, their judgmental nature both saddens and disappoints me. They just can't accept that people can change. Just because a person made one mistake (using drugs in this case) that led to a series of bad decisions doesn't mean they won't be able to pull themselves out of it if they really and truly try. I am trying to be there for the girl I have loved from a distance for 10 years and watched powerless as her life spiraled downward. Now she is honestly making an effort to put things right and I plan on being there to help her. I am the ONLY person left in her life who actually cares whether she lives or dies, and d@^#&t, this time I'm not going to sit back and let her fall! She's never asked me for help before because she does not want her life to screw up mine. She's hesitant to accept my help now because she says she doesn't want to lose me as a friend, and everyone she gets close to always leaves. I'm not really giving her a choice this time. I've lost too many friends through the years to everything from simple arguments to car accidents and cancer. This girl has ALWAYS been there for me as emotional support, sometimes without even realizing the difference she was making in my life and I never had the courage before to step in and help when I knew she needed it. She knows how I feel about her, and has finally reached the point where she is actually willing to ask me for help. I'm NOT going to walk out of her life just because my family doesn't approve of her.
