Ow.

At some point yesterday evening, I did something evil to my lower back & butt. There is a shooting pain down the left side of my back, from just below my left kidney to six inches below my waist. Aspirin & laying flat on a hot pad all of last night helped a great deal but the pain is still there so I've opted to work from home today: driving is not a good idea currently, I want to be able to drop everything if this gets any worse.

I'm still a little mystified about what I did to make my body rebel in such a fashion. The only insult to my metabolism in the past few days was a conference call yesterday which offended my sense of the value of my time, and a very large chocolate ice cream, chocolate chips, chocolate brownie & chocolate syrup delight known as "chocolate devotion" at Cold Stone Creamery Sunday evening. While the decadence of it all may have had some negative metabolic karma, it tasted heavenly enough to offset even this current inconvenience even as I'm immobilized in my computer room. I regret nothing.

In any case, I can still keep up with my regular appointments and scheduled work from here and I'm sure the others on my team won't hesitate to page/e-mail/IM me as needed. With a little luck, I might catch up on some writing some much-needed documentation for two projects as well as laundry. Lemons, lemonade.

Birthday Parade!

Two birthdays today: [livejournal.com profile] trevd who I believe is turning 29 in Vancouver, BC, and my youngest niece, Ashley who celebrates her first birthday in Mississauga, Ontario.

I'd cheer harder but my back is still killing me. Let's just agree that I'm cheering inside. :-)
