An Exceptionally Bad Start (tm)

[sid]

Cookies - 0. None in the house.
High chloresterol foods consumed - all of them. Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches, mmm.
Alcohol units - what's wrong with whiskey and Diet Coke for breakfast?
Trips to the infirmary - Not even going to attempt getting in a car.

Somewhere around, oh, 2009, I spectacularly fucked up my back. I have no recollection of doing this, and, no, I wasn't plastered. Maybe it was the struggle to get the bubbly opened? My trick knee went out in my sleep once - spectacularly. So I presume this might have happened in my sleep, too.

2009: the Year of Sleeping Dangerously. And very little, too. Like only 4 hours on Jan. 1st, but I did better last night.

So it's Aleve and ice packs, and whiskey and Diet Coke (for medicinal purposes, as well as for breakfast.) But the whiskey is nearly gone, and then we'll find out if my back is up to shaking cocktails. Medicinal cocktails.

Reading the January Dr. Jackson's Diary to distract self. We miss you, Anais.

I haven't tried writing.  Is suffering good for writing?  I should test that.

Mm, depends on what you're writing.

[sid]

I thought I'd try writing a gloomy Russian novel. ;-)

[melayneseahawk.livejournal.com]

Oh, but that involves commitment. Those bastards are long.

(My grandmother has a joke that you read Russian novels in a particular order: middle first, then beginning, then end; otherwise, you have no idea what's going on.)

[sid]

I think I slogged through Dr. Zhivago once, but I'd already seen the movie, which undoubtedly helped a great deal!

I hear ya. I've had my knee get wonky in my sleep, too. Very weird. I keep wondering if I'm secretly going dancing in my sleep. Maybe that's when another personality takes over and I become Carmelita Spinoza, Party Girl!

I just wish she didn't make me suffer through the swollen joints.

[sid]

Ai! Carmelita!! *click of castanets*

:-D

[tejas.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!

[amnellwyvern.livejournal.com]

Ow. Hopefully your back feels better soon. *gently squishes*

[sid]

Me, too. I've been in pain almost the entire year!

Oh, wait. LOL

[theemdash]

Are you reading DJD? I couldn't tell. XD

[sid]

Just thought I'd mention it to avoid any copyright infringements!

So while I'm at it I'll mention raspberry yoghurt, the Pottymouth Generator and telepathy. :-)

[theemdash]

*snort* Not-Monkeys, man, not-fucking-monkeys.

(I have 195 jillion icons and I didn't reupload any DJD icons?! What is wrong with me?)

[sid]

No not-monkeys in January, though. I also restrained myself from mentioning rope soup and pink jellybeans and guacamole and MFD and... and so on.

[lolmac]

Well, damn! 2009 had better improve from here on out for you! My sympathies.

[sid]

There's no way but up? *crosses fingers*

Thanks!

Suffering is VERY good for writing. Suffering, angst, dismay...the entire Seven Deadly Sins...I highly recommend it. That's pretty much the how and why I became a writer. I couldn't talk about my suffering, but I could make up characters and write about it.

Hope you feel better! Big hugs from out here!

The last time I attempted opening a bottle of bubbly on my own I took out a light fixture and ended up with an odd bruise on my thigh. I don't do it anymore...to say the least.

[sid]

It took the efforts of three of us to get the first bottle open.

(We'd already finished pouring out the second bottle by the time the first cork was popped!)

{{{{{{{sid}}}}}}}} feel better soon.......


*whispers*...don't read the bit about the Not-Monkey and the blotter if your back is still bad....*snerk*....


Deeds xx

[sid]

Thanks. :-)

I stopped with January, so I'm safe from Not-Monkeys. *g*

[lavenderlocks.livejournal.com]

You poor old trout! *gently hugs*

Hope the pain eases soon.

[sid]

I'm about to pop another couple of Aleve, and the ice pack should be ready again soon. :-)

[lunachickk.livejournal.com]

That must have been one hell of a dream!
Oh you poor thing!
Mabi just gave me the perfect icon for this post though. lol

Feel better!

[sid]

LOL!

I don't think it's contagious!

Will work on that whole feeling better thing. You and me both, okay?

[jackluvsdaniel.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry about your back *hugs gently* I hope you feel better quickly. Yay for medicinal cocktails ;)

[sid]

I feel pretty good at the moment, but that's the Aleve and alcohol talking. *g*

Hopefully tomorrow will see some improvement.

Offers gentle hug.
Fancy some betaing in not-too-distant? J/D stranded. New territory for the new year?
*another gentle hug*

[sid]

If I can sit at the computer, I can beta, right? :-)
