Gawd I felt like an idiot. First I was fifteen minutes late for work just because I couldn't get out of bed on time. Then when I got to work and was putting my purse away in my locker... I tweaked something in my neck and pinched a nerve. I looked like I was walking around all day with a stick up my ass. Could NOT move my neck. So stiff. I spent the next six hours painfully navigating my day and then decided to cut my losses and leave early. Only after filling out a workers comp claim though since, technically speaking, I did injure myself at work. Then I got something to eat and spent a few hours laying in bed at home, resting.
Then I decided to keep with my original plan to go visit my friend Melanie. We had planned for me to spend the night so we could stay up chatting with wine - I figured I would still be up for that even with a bad neck. Then I was to spend the next day with her and her two kids (my pseudo niece and nephew). Wine was good, conversation and catching up was even better. Neck was very sore though.
I was quite saddened by the fact that it was Doug's birthday and I wasn't able to celebrate it with him! His first birthday that we've been together for and I could even give him birthday kisses! I missed him extra much! Oh well, we will have lots more birthdays together and will celebrate his when he gets home.
Tip: never lay down in bed in the middle of the afternoon, fully clothed in black, and crawl under a very sheddy down blanket. See photo for the many sheets of lint roller it took to defeather me!
