But not today...

Today was not my best day. I took Anthony to track practice this morning, then went to the office. From the moment I woke up, I knew there was something going wrong, because my back was bugging me more than it should have when I wake up. Normally, my back doesn't start stiffening up and pinching until I've been up and around about an hour. But not today. I felt it when I got out of bed. I took a nice hot shower, hoping it would help, but no such luck. When I got to my office and to my desk, I was sore as hell. I stayed about an hour before requesting (and granted approval) to go and work from home for the rest of the day. When I got home, I set up in the kitchen, put my pillow behind me on the chair, and took 2 pain pills, not thinking they were going to help. Usually, they do much of nothing. But not today. They hit fast, and they hit hard. Wheeeeee! I don't have an idea of how I made it through the day without my head hitting the keyboard or me hitting the floor. I even stayed on later than usual because there were orders that needed taking care of. Now I'm sitting on the couch, my laptop on my lap (good name for a laptop huh?), watching TV for a little while longer until I start cooking dinner.

Also, I had blood taken yesterday for tests. Called the doctor this morning for the results, and he called me back about 2 hours ago. I was expecting him to find something wrong with me. But not today. Everything came back good. There are no diseases, no infections, and no worries. Now I have to get rid of this back pain.
