ouch

I hurt my back. How? I don't know. I just know that I woke up this morning to pain. I took some Aleve but it doesn't seem to be helping. At this point I should mention that normally I can take Aleve for everything from a headache to losing a limb and it works it's glorious magic on me to make me better. Not today. So, I'm going to suffer my way through the day (woe is me!), get off early and go to Cole's 1st school conference. Yay!

By the by, it's hellaciously foggy out. Like, pea soup foggy. I can barely see the Burger King across the plaza. It wasn't this way when I came in to work an hour ago. Weird.

Also, my manager isn't in today! Whee! She's off at various meeting this morning and won't be back until later this afternoon. Did I mention that I'll be leaving early? Because I will be. Soooooo - good news all around.

I feel boring this morning. I'll gather my thoughts and return at a later date.

PS - Isn't this such a pretty icon? Ahhhh! Look at my alien guy! Now, that's funny!

Edit
I'm on my second cup of extremely hot tea. I have this theory, see, that if I drink enough hot tea I'll raise my body temp and be able to counteract the fog with the intense waves of heat/energy I'm putting out. Ha! I said "putting out". Well, it's funny if you're me. Anyway. So far, it doesn't seem to be working, but I still have high hopes.
