Back to work (which I should be clear, I like) this morning. But I was sick on our vacation, and once that finally worked its way through my system, I started having back pain. This is a regular irregular thing for me (once every year or two), and I think I'm working my way into the tail end of it now, the worst spasms days behind me. But, it still sucks.
And the timing's meant that my Christmas vacation has felt, well, distinctly disappointing. The Caribbean was gorgeous, but I spent too much time inside my room, dealing with the consequences of other people's hygiene. And then it was done. And now this.
I really wish I could get a week off - a full, proper week off - without my body acting up in some way. Last week I'd planned to work on some projects, and I did, but it's hard to focus with little jolts of pain when you sit too long, or stand too long, or have the audacity to try to move.
We'll see how the day goes at work. I've got back pills, if needed (only taken one so far the last few days), plus a heating pad, plus cold packs. I really need this to be done. I've got a thing I'm reading at tomorrow night, and while I don't expect to be 100%, I'm hoping maybe I can be close enough to, you know, actually enjoy it.
