The painful thread

[aggieAXO]

I am dealing with shin splints. I hate those

[kddani]

My body just feels dried out from the extreme cold outside and dry dry heat inside. No amount of lotion and moisturizer is helping. Dry and itchy skin. My sinuses are terribly dry, every time I blow my nose (I have minor allergies year round) I get a small nosebleed. Hopefully the humidifier I bought today will help somewhat.

I know it sounds a little gross, but a tiny bit of Vasoline in each nostril will help your nose from drying out and stop it from bleeding. Learned that trick last year in Sedona.

My head hurts. A lot.

Not me, thank goodness but at last nights UGA-SC basketball game, Mike Mercer (UGA) dislocated his knee. They popped it back into place and put an aircast on it. Looks like he'll be out for the season.

Dear Asshat:

Thank you for cutting me off and brake-checking me on the highway two weeks ago.

I have had several happy fun trips to the chiropractor as a result. It is not fun to hear your own bones go *crunch*. My neck is still stiff. Whiplash is not good.

Incidentally, leaving the scene of the accident - not cool. Telling the cops I cut you off instead of the other way around - definitely not cool. Uh, which one of us has the smashed-up car?? YOUR car is intact. (I hit the brakes. I didn't hit the asshat's car. I did hit the guard rail...)

Hmm, wonder if I can sue the asshat for a shiny new car??

Thanks to a lovely "stress fracture" on my right foot, I am home for the next 2 days with a boot. Hurts like H*ll to walk and I'm supposed to keep it up and iced to get the swelling down.

DH has gotten much entertainment in watching me walk with the boot---I considered hitting him while swinging leg off of the couch--OOPS,..sorry about that.

The hall to my bathroom never looked so long....

I can't walk on my foot this morning. Like I need any more aches and pains.
