Yep, I'm stressed. My body told me so this morning when I rolled over on my side and got a massive muscle spasm in my neck, shoulders and almost all the way down to my lower back. I yelped at Brian (it was about 7:30 AM, I think) and he promptly told me to take Alleve (I don't usually take any drugs unless completely necessary). I need to stop worrying about my own (and other's) shit so much!
I complied and painfully laid down again in bed on my back. About 5 minutes later the cat climbed up on my end table to drink the remaining water out of the cup that I didn't take with the Alleve and I tensed up immediately (in my back) thinking "shit, stop the cat or he'll knock over the cup and water will get everywhere". Laughing about it I said to Brian "ok, I know I'm stressed now . . . I just fucked up my back simply from rolling over and now I'm anxious because the cat is drinking from that cup . . .could you please move it so he can't get to it?"
So today I'll be on the couch with newspapers, books and homework until we go out later. Here's hoping I'll be able to drive since B really doesn't do well dealing with my car or driving in Boston.
Grrr.
