Current mood: Time to get down to business

Wow, cheeze, am I a whiner. First, let me put in a huge plug for Alieve. When I gave in to the sweet, sweet bliss of pain relief medication, I could actually feel the moment the stuff hit my nervous system. Ahhhhhhhhhhh, what a difference. Note to self: when muscles or bones are hurting, the way you carry yourself to minimize the pain tends to exacerbate, not relieve, the underlying problem. Hence, after you were properly medicated to be mostly pain free (and a bit whee!!!), you were able to move about much more naturally (and less crab- or bear-like) and worked out whatever muscle was knotted up in your back. Thus the lesson, take your meds, fool!

So now, tralalala, all is right with the world. My back is, well, back! And Fedex hath delivereth my missing packages! Albeit 2 weeks later, after swearing up and down that they didn't exist and I must have lost them myself because, noooo, Fedex never makes any mistakes or loses packages and hey, I saw Castaway, so don't give me that! and obviously I'm not at all bitter…anyway, so - happy again. Now, if only this term paper would write itself, then life really would be full of unicorns and sunshine.
