cosmolinguistI hurt my back yesterday in the very old-person way of turning slightly to reach something next to me (in the not-old-person context of an undergrad lecture, admittedly).
As always, being in transient pain makes me admire my friends with chronic pain all the more. I can hardly do anything, I can't concentrate, I'm grumpy and impatient. Heat or painkillers help a little but I'm still not myself and I'm not getting anything done. So of course I had to do work and uni yesterday (this semester is one or the other usually) and it felt very unfair. I'm behind on my reading and should be working on an essay ideally. The only reason I'm keeping myself fed and I'm not behind on laundry is Andrew has been very helpful.
Having had a different kind of distracting and life-impacting pain over the weekend, I am weary of this already.
