Today's update

[severity_softly]

So I got up and ate old soup for breakfast. Expired five years ago, but it tasted fine, and so far, I'm alive. The smell and appearance test before consuming is working wonders so far. Last night I had seven year expired potatoes and spaghetti and meatballs. I was surprised the pasta was okay, but it was, so so far it seems like it's the Chef Boyardee that's gone all weird. I'll try opening one more can of that, and all of it is garbage if the third can of the stuff is bad.

Anyway, I got a package in the mail yesterday from mcgarrygirl78, and I just wanted to say publicly that I can't love this girl enough. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met online, and I hope someday I'll actually get to meet her in RL. That would kick some major ass.

So today I am home from work. I hurt my back yesterday and spent several hours in a suite laying down because it hurt so much. Plus side is that I got paid to sleep on our super comfortable beds. A steady diet of Ibuprofen and rest seems to have really helped, though. I probably could have gone back to work today, but I didn't think bending over repeatedly to the printer and cleaning would go over well with my body.

Instead, I am going to the movies and out to eat with carolinecrane. We had plans to do that after I got out of work today anyway, and sitting in a chair and watching a movie/eating isn't too taxing. Let's all just cross our fingers that I don't get caught out by one of my workmates, or worse, the owners.

(Also, randomly, the number of messages I have in my LJ inbox equals my birth year.)

It's been a long while since I've been out to the movies and to eat with a good friend, I need to rectify that.

Glad your back is feeling better....ibruprofen and rest sound like a good plan to me.

Knoxville or bust.....it probably wont be hard to get there eventually. I would love to hang out, it would probably be epic : )

Maybe me and Steph can set a novel in Philly and you could be our tour guide! We do have a few people ahead of you there, but once we start selling our novels, we'd have the money to do it! ;) It's not a bad drive between Kville and Philly, though. Gmaps says 10 hours. If there's anything worth seeing in the middle, that would be a good day trip! Of course, this is assuming I ever have money. lol

Rest, yes, ibuprofen, yes, and I hope you didn't get caught by a workmate/owner..but then again..what would they be doing at the movies/not at work! Hope you feel better soon and I'm glad to hear that the food experiment is going well.

*hugs*

*G* Well, they do have days off too. ;) But I think I got away clean.

You would think I would realize that some people have days off during the week...like I do! I grew up in a household in which both parents worked Monday-Friday. But sometimes my brain just gets a vapor lock. Hope your back is better!
