I completely screwed up my back. I am not going anywhere for some days.
Getting up and sitting down or getting up and lying down has to happen very slowly and carefully and ice is my new friend.
Also, the Dr. Who finale is unbelievably cool, and Clara *is* bigger on the inside.

No matter how bad the pain and muscle tension are, and no matter how many times the doctor says it's okay, DO NOT take tramadol and metaxalone together.
Not unless you want to wake up in the middle of the night to an hour-long episode of convulsions and muscle spasms, and then spend the next day throwing up everything you try to eat.
This is the opposite of better. As much as it terrifies me, it may be time to get a referral to someone who can do something more aggressive than PT or acupuncture to try to fix this. I don't want intraspinal injections, and I want my neck fused even less, but... even I have to admit I can't live like this.
It was Fleet Week recently and Armed Forces Day. But like we need a reason for the Village People. :)
I'm up WAY too early on a weekend.

Because I am sick, I get to rest today. I get to ohhhh and ahhhh at all the Dr. Who loot on Thinkgeek, lie in bed and read, and maybe do a little art. It is heaven. Maybe I will listen to the Karen's Yoga Nidra CD and take a short, quiet walk in the sun this afternoon. And naps...I will take naps.
Last night I dreamt of the ocean: ocean liners driving forward through daunting waves almost as tall as they themselves, driven by a stalwart captain. I also saw glistening, translucent beaches beckoning for exploration and play.
Too, I hovered over a deep pool with dozens of SCUBA divers swarming like fish.
I wonder what it is about.

What I am really looking forward to:
* Setting up MY OWN gym in the attic
* Replacing my squat cage
* Putting up these posters:

So, as I've mentioned here before, I'm contemplating starting a blog for my more religious/spiritual/mystical poetry and prose; this idea was somewhat sparked by Del Tashlin, who in a recent post where he (amongst other things) asked people to
Tell your story. Tell your story even if you’re still figuring it all out. Admit you don’t have a God phone. Write a blog that’s all about how hard it is for you to meditate. Write about how it makes you feel when you feel chosen by some other path, especially if that path makes you feel lonely, different, radioactive, frustrated, depressed. Talk openly about how all this talk of spirit work makes you feel lesser because you weren’t chosen for that. Create a Tumblr for people who don’t hear the Gods, and encourage each other to create and stick to devotional work in spite of that.
I don't have a godphone. I suck at meditation. And I'm definitely still figuring it all out. That being said, I think that I (occasionally) write stuff that is worth sharing, that might be better in a blog. I'm not abandoning my LJ, though.
But what to name it? I think that names are really important. Although I have some ideas about it already, I'm always in favor of crowdsourcing things a bit (especially in creative/spiritual/magickal work*). So, without further ado, I present a poll:
Poll #1914062
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 8
What should I name my blog?
| "The Words Swim, Waiting" |
   5 (71.4%) |
| "Poetry Declares It Differently" |
| 1 (14.3%) |
| "Of Imagination All Compact" |
| 0 (0.0%) |
| "Merely A Thought And A Quest" |
| 1 (14.3%) |
| Something else (put your suggestion in the text box) |
| 0 (0.0%) |

Well, I am sick. Sinus infection, muscle aches, and super low energy.
I am going to stay home tomorrow and rest. Then I hope to feel good enough to start driving on Sunday.
Michael says this often happens after I turn in grades. He may be right. Stress, probably. I think I need more rest and fun.
For a week or so, Cindy Lauper has been colonizing my head. Now we're all constantly singing "Girls Just Want To Have Fun." Even Trent.
