How to do a whole lot and nothing

[drwex]

We spent the weekend hiding in the AC. Pygment went out for a couple of very brief shopping runs and we had gamers over on Sunday.

Otherwise we did laundry (5 loads), dishes (2 loads), and cleaned a lot of floors, counters, children, and crap-that-had-been-hanging-out. It's amazing how fast four people can get things messy. This is our life, revel in the excitement.

The really bad part of the weekend was that somehow I managed to throw my back completely out, to the point where I ended up taking Flexoril on Sunday because large doses of NSAIDS weren't touching the pain. As of now I'm feeling better, but still taking the regular pain pills. The Flexoril makes me sleepy and a bit loopy so none of that at work.

Yeah, our life was equally exciting, minus a trip to see "The Dark Knight" on Friday night on the way home from work--It was really excellent and was refreshing to see a movie that was really 2.5 hours long.

Spent the rest of the weekend hiding in the A/C because the "Check Engine", "Brake" and "ABS" light all came on in the car...so we didn't think it was wise to take the car very far.

And I'm feeling very groggy from taking sleep meds too late last night.

So sorry you hurt your back. I would say that it's contagious, but likely *you* didn't try to fly down your front steps. I, too, used flexeril last night. And it makes me loopy. None of that while parenting. And I'm hoping the chiro can help me out in about an hour.

Sending good thoughts your way! *gentle hug*

Thanks, babe. No I didn't go flying down any steps. I think it was just accumulated grievances coupled with trying to cuddle my larger-than-I-think-he-is child in an awkward position.

Ugh, tons of sympathy. I can't drive within 16 hours of Flexoril, but it has its uses.

And it does nothing for pain or inflammation, so take your anti-inflammatories too like a good boy.

*gentle hugs*

Yeah, I'm still using half a Flexoril at bedtime and 2 naprosyn every 12 hours.
