I am not sure what the bloody hell happened Monday evening but I awoke at 3am and heard a creepy "click" come from inside me (in my neck, apparently) and I suddenly couldn't move. Needless to say, Kelly Tuesday was not the day of fun it was supposed to be. I couldn't get my hair cut, go grocery shopping, goto lunch, goto the girls school to read for Maggie's class, walk the dog, goto the gym... NOTHING! Suck, suck and more suck was had to be sure! Nothing but a sucky mass of suckness! So, my neighbor gave me some darvoset which really worked quite nicely. And yes, I am fully aware that one should not take prescription drugs from their neighbor but my fucking neck really fucking hurt and I would have accepted a pipe of crack if it offered relief from the pain.
Update: today (Thursday) my neck seems to have "popped back" into shape (no crack pipe required). I'm still gonna visit my (new) chiropractor but it is mostly just out of curiosity at this point.
So then there was Wednesday... nice morning and all until our bathroom pipes came crashing through the kitchen ceiling. Stugots! Or as Annie would say, Mon Dieu! Since then, our plumber (yes, we have a plumber... remember the bathroom toilet fiasco?) came and repaired the pipes and our construction/painter dude (yes, we have one of them too... remember the water damage in the living room ceiling from the ice storm of '02... or the wall damage from the October storm of '06?) anyhoo, he will be here Saturday to fix our ceiling. I just thank God that we didn't have to involve our roof/siding guy this time because he is just really expensive!
So, I was all irritated and everything... especially considering that David had a little something to do with the pipe incident but that is neither here nor there. I meditated. I finally meditated a little. I spoke with Stacey and she says that I did not just fall asleep a bit, I actually meditated (in her professional opinion). I thought I fell asleep because I was attempting to meditate and then I was at the grocery store and forgot to buy potatoes (I was only metaphorically at the grocery store) so when I "woke up" I thought I'd had a dream but man... I have never felt so refreshed or so "light". It was awesome. I don't even care about the ceiling at all. And just as an aside... it turns out that I really did forget to buy potatoes at the grocery store (crazy). "Serenity Now", eh? Ahhh... I will try this another time soon and see if it works again. Kudos to Space-face for lettin' me know I got my meditation on!
Oh... here's the photo of the ceiling:
By the way... that grayish thing to the right of the exposed pipe is our bathtub. Neat, huh?
