The past few weeks my back has been giving me absolute hell.  Didn't realize how bad it was until I left the chiropracter this morning and could actually stand up straight.  Ahhh, the absence of pain!  Of course it won't last long, unfortunatly.  The doctor told me I need to try and find another job, or try to cut my hours back to below 20.  I would love to do that, but Walmart is not being very cooperative.  Sigh.  And I really don't want to quit becuase I just got health insurance. 
But - pain free is also nice, and I really don't want to screw my back up anymore.  Decisions decisions.  Can't I just crawl under a rock and hide from the world?

*sneaks down 'cause your post made me cry and there's no comment button on it*

I'm really sorry, sweetheart :( I've been seriously self-involved girl for the last few weeks and haven't spent much time on lj commenting, but there's really no excuse for abandoning a friend like that...

*tentative hugs* Forgive me, sweetie? :(

*Hugs back tightly* There's nothing to forgive.
I disabled comments becuase I don't want people to think that I'm being all drama queen. And it's all right, sweety, I know your life has been really hectic lately. I totally understand. That's why I posted the last entry. It seems all I've been able to do the past few entries has been to bitch and complain about my life, and seriously, nobody wants to see that all the time. So I thought since nobody has commented, nobody is reading. And that's all right, too. If I post a story, I'll do it on a com. I just... don't know where my life is right now, and I can't really deal with more pain. I don't want to alienate anybody, but at the same time, I don't want people to hang around becuase they feel guilty.
Anyway, thanks for the comment.
*Hugs you again*

You need health assurance as well, dear. Have you told Walmart what the Doctor said? I'm surprised they aren't cooperating more if you have.

I did tell them, and even gave them a doctor's note telling them not to work me over 20 hours, and they didn't change a thing. Sigh. I just don't know if it's worth it trying to stick it out or if I should just call it quits and try to get insurance through the school.

*hugs* I've been reading, but my comment rate has fallen into a little miserable pool of nothing. And I don't really have any advice for the back, except maybe to try investing in a pair of really good shoes. It sounds weird, but it helped me immensely when I gave up on my old pair and bought some new ones. Then again I wear sneakers until they fall apart...

notthatI'vebeenwritingmuch but whinging lately myself...

I wasn't trying to single anyone out, sweety, I know how real life can gang up on a person. I do want to get a pair of really good shoes, becuase I think that will help, but I have to save up for that and it will be at least another couple of weeks.
Sorry I haven't commented on anything for you, sweety. I'll try harder.

Won't wallmart be more cooperative if you have the advice from your doctor to back you up? And you're right, you need a health insurance. I hope you'll find a solution soon! *hugs*

I gave Walmart a note from my doctor, telling them not to work me more than 20 hours, and if they could to work me less, which is perfect, but they still insist on giving me more hours and expecting me to seven to eight hour shifts. It just kills my back, and I really have to sit down and think about whether the insurance is worth the pain. I just don't know anymore.

Hi, Pip. Regarding your post about unfriending, I have to admit that I haven't been commenting much in your LJ because you've pretty much stopped commenting in mine. For me, LJ is an interactive community, where we talk with and respond to one another (at least once in awhile). When communication is a one-way street, I tend to get discouraged, and drift away. You (or anyone) are certainly welcome to unfriend *me*, as well, if they don't feel we have anything in common anymore.

*gentle back rubs*

*random cuddles*

I'm sorry, Shirebound. I have been a crap friend in not responding to your journals. I haven't really been responding to anyone, though, since I rarely get on LJ anymore except for a few minutes after class and after work, except to whine it seems, sigh. I will try harder, becuase I do value you as a friend, and I would hate to lose you. I do still love LoTRs, even if it isn't my life anymore, and I do like reading what you have to say. I'll try harder.
*Hugs*
