Yawn.... CRICK....OUCH... %^)(&@%!!! Time to get elbow-GREASED up...

Some days I feel like I am living in a haunted house. Ever since I was a kid every joint in my body has popped, cracked, snapped or creaked. I am assured this is normal but at times like this I wonder if I am an extra in the Mummy and not a 30 year old human...

2 days ago it happened. I was at the computer and something caught my eye from the other corner if the room. When I turned to look - CRINK - uh oh, "was that my neck?" I thought to myself. "Let's hope not" I prayed as I turned my head back from the window where some indigent child was shreaking as she drank her breakfast of blue kool-aid and Fritos (a normal occurance in my hood).

Of course I soon realized, my neck was STIFF (and not in a good way) and tense. Damn it! I did it again. Everyone in a while this happens and I end up suffering until I can get a chiropractic appt. Of course this always seems to happen on a weekend.

I thought things were getting better as I dutifully took my 600 mg of ibuprofen, with plenty of food to avoid burning a hole in my stomach... and then I made the bed. Somewhere between fluffing the pillows, febreezing and smoothing wrinkles, I felt another scrrrrrrrrrunch in my neck. This time the shooting pains, super tightness and numbed throbbing were there to remind me... yesterday's neck pain was nothing.

Boo has been gracious with rubbing Icy-Hot on me every couple of hours. So now I am in pain on the 1st day of class which is 6 hours long. THANKFULLY I got the last chiro appt at 6:20pm today and that usually does the trick. I can't wait to hug my chiropractor and get fixed up - it usually does the trick!

Until then I hope my classmates don't think I've been secretly wacking off during bathroom breaks.

Icy-Hot smells just like HOT! Elbow Grease...
