For the last twoish days I've felt like someone's stabbed me through the left boob/shoulder and left the sword stuck in me. Normally I'm like "oh look, pain, whatever", but you know, I kinda like breathing deeply without wincing. Waiting for Dr. Kate to call me back to tell me it's nothing, take my pills, and stop stressing so hard. Cause I'm pretty sure that's all it is.

...'sup 56 degrees. Finally. Pity it's gray and damp.

Glad the Order is grinding back into gear this month. I missed playing with everyone.

I go driving with Ernie in an hour and a half ish. Pleased to find that I am not terrified by the prospect anymore and am kinda looking forward to it. Hoping that little snowbank incident is much like my yearly fall off my bike, and now that it's past I can ease up on the "oh shit oh shit we're all going to die" feeling, and actually concentrate on, you know... driving. Stuff like remembering to signal and figuring out when to turn and stuff. Hopefully tonight I won't get mostly asleep flashbacks of being behind the wheel and hitting everything like I did on Sunday before I fell asleep. That wasn't fun.

Still need to make a poly post at some point. Don't really feel like it, as lately I've not been having a good time with it and I'm pretty sure it will just devolve into "I suck and everyone should stay away from me" whining. Might do that anyway.

Back to work.

Your pain could be costochondritis. I get it every so often, but I had it so bad a few years back I had to be physically picked up from a recumbent position. Best thing for it is Aleve, it works like a charm. I think pretty much any NSAID can work for it.

huh. interesting. We'll ignore the fact that when I first saw that word I immediately thought "but I haven't been to Costco in years..."

Hehe. Costcochondritis - a disease that's contracted by exposure to Costco stores, but can remain dormant in your system for years. When the disease reaches full potency, it attacks its host with stabby pains.

weirdly, this post was right next to another on Friends list that mentioned pretty much exactly the same pain. Is there a plague of aches, spreading from the Valley to Chicago?
