Don't step on a crack or you'll fall and break your back

Which I did this past Friday.  We're getting old, or at least I am.  Let me tell you, don't pull a back muscle or irritate your sciatic nerve or whatever it was I did whilst trying to put on my PJ pants.  (To an already slightly irritated back, however it initially got slightly irritated earlier that day is a mystery to me.) It was basically along the lines of "I've fallen and I can't get up."  Crawling to the bathroom cause I couldn't stand.  Sleeping on the futon downstairs with my legs propped up tossing back Sean's old Percocet from his surgery last spring to knock me out. He was a saint this weekend.

I'm somewhat better now - at least I can move around mostly like a normal human being. Enough that I think I can go back to work tomorrow. I think this is a sign that I need to take up yoga.  I normally have a pretty strong back, but you dancing/cheerleading ladies know that I've never been one for flexibility. Perhaps I should work on that.

In happier news, I did get my permanent job in early January!  Hooray for health insurance and stability. Always feel good. Plus I get to go to the dentist this week for the first time in 1 1/2 to 2 years.  I think this is the first time ever that I've actually been excited to go to the dentist.

Miss you all and can't wait to see you in April for Court's wedding!  Even if it's just for a day, it's been too long.

Love,
Lishka

P.S. Monica, I'm waiting for that picture of you all cute and pregnant. :)

  1. Goodness Alicia, take care of yourself! Sciatic pain is absolutely awful. I just fell down the stairs a couple days ago and still have not regained feeling in my left leg. We are getting old. No doubt about it.
    I'm still working on that picture. My Mom took one this weekend during her visit, so I'm hoping she will email it to me...she sucks with technology though so that might be another week or five...at which case I might just be sending it along with a picture of the new addition! :)

  2. Alicia - My Mom just posted a couple pictures on her facebook page from her visit a couple days ago. I think she tagged me in them...
