currently..

working ten or so hour days - work is insane. but i'm taking advantage of their desire to pay me overtime.:) or something like that.

watching babylon 5. highly edited first season. Sir is overseeing it. :) watched the prequel on sunday, two episodes last night, and one tonight.

i was *supposed* to be getting birthday stuff done.. sigh. but no. ah, well - the bought present will have to do. i shall make things..later. :) random gifts!

my body is fucked up - muscles are achy/tight/whatnot. but hey, what's new? at least i have a heatable flax/rice pillow thing, and it helps!

nursey advice

As a nurse, I realize I'm partial to pharmaceuticals, but..... if *I* were you, I'd take an anti-inflammatory medication to make the muscles feel less achey.
(aleve twice a day, or ibuprofen 3-4 times a day)

If you must work overtime, make sure you take extra good care of yourself. Eat well, drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids, and get as much sleep as possible. Failure to do so will inevitably result in an illness of some sort.

aha! :) i should have asked you! yeah - i'm actually prescribed advil/ibuprofen for anti-inflammatory for my knees, i bet it would be good to take for my neck, too! thank you for the reminder!

and i'm getting occasional pains where i think my left kidney is- i should be drinking more water, yes?:) (i know, how non-descriptive is *that*? )

the above was me, too. i am trying to eat and sleep well - from theatre, i know that if i don't, i can't keep up the pace at all. and i do *not* want to get sick!

It's always good to drink a lot of water, but it's possible your left side hurts because you're straining your back.

I'm not sure what type of work you do, but if you're sitting and/or leaning over very much, it can cause a pain similar to kidney pain.

Take the ibuprofen and sleep on your side with a body pillow. (bend your knees and lop one over the pillow) This will put your spine in a more relaxed position, and hopefully relieve the discomfort.

Been too long since we've all gotten together. Maybe sometime this weekend ...

I'd be all over the sore neck if I were there. Hope you work it out soon.

Did you finally hunt down the elusive flax pillow? Babylon 5 is a good series. It's also one of Tim's favorites. Have you finished reading Harry Potter 6 or have you been too busy? I still haven't gotten it; I think my cousin is sending me a copy to read :D I did finsih Book 5 over the weekend. I miss you. Sorry that work is insane. Hugs, Robyn

I loved Babylon 5. It had it's weaknesses, but the strengths more than made up for them.

I loved hanging out with you guys this weekend! Let's do that again soon.

Oh, and what is the website you and Redwitch were talking about, with the daily organization tips?

Oops...I used "it's" when I used "its". I hate it when I do that!

Organization tips? I could use that too!
