It's my Friday, yay!

Ended up going home early last night.  I forced myself to eat and felt a bit better, then curled up on the couch with the Olympics, a cup of tea, and some gluten free ginger snaps.  Then I took a muscle relaxent and crashed.  That seems to have done the trick, as I feel so much better today.  I think when my back starts acting up, like it has been, then it causes my stomach muscles to tense, and downward spiral is acheived. 

I'll take another tonight before bed, since I can already feel my back going out of wack, and take it easy tomorrow. My goal is to not miss anymore work this pay period.  Fingers crossed! 

Rodney hurt his paw somehow, not sure what happened.  He's limping a bit, but it doesn't seem to hurt if I touch it, so I may have to take him in to the vet if it doesn't get better. Sigh.  Poor kitty. He just can't catch a break. 

Had a lovely chat with pennin_ink last night.  I love being a beta and getting the creative juices flowing. Now if I can just apply that to myself, that would be lovely. I miss writing, but every time I sit down it feels like my brain goes blank and everything comes out crap. 

Another side effect of beinga beta is that, whenever I read a story that has potential, I want to put my beta hat on and work with them.  There's a lot of authors out there that have good ideas, but their writing leaves a bit to be desired.   I just read one such story and I wanted to sink my teeth into it, but I know that's not appreciated by a lot of people.   Still... so much potential, I hope they find a good beta soon. 

Anyway, at work now, and hopefully the day will go swiftly.  I can't remember if I have an appointment at worksource tomorrow or not, I'll have to call, but I'm kind of hoping I don't so I can just relax and put in applications from home. 

The one job I really want hasn't contacted me  yet, so I'm stil keeping my fingers crossed, but losing hope.   Oh, well.  I know something will come my way, I just have to keep searching. 

Take care all!

Actually, that makes sense. I know that when my back is compromised, the nerves that connect to my stomach are triggered. My osteopath explained this to me last year and it made sense. But have the docs check you out for those other things anyway, yeah?

Yeah, I think part of the problem is I haven't been going to the gym, so my stomach and my back muscles have gone a bit. Also, with my back acting up, I've noticed my knee is acting up, too, so I feel like a giant domino, lol.

I am taking stuff for IBS, but I think I'm going to ask to be tested for endometriosis, just so I know for certain. It would certainly be easier to cope if I know what I'm coping with.

Glad you're feeling better! And yes, definitely, knowing what the problem is makes it a LOT easier to treat. Then you can go after the cause instead of only the symptoms, or decide whether or not to.

Yes, exactly. That, and when you know what's wrong, you're not dealing with the endless, "Is it this?" game.
