mental/physical health day
Jan. 7th, 2008 03:08 pmI woke up with my legs immovable and a pinched nerve sending my neck from skull to shoulder blades into spasm. It was excruciating. Fuck this, I said, and called in to work.
Then I lay abed like a lazy thing, in very careful positions, until 10:30.
It was decadent.
I got up, sat like a lump on the couch, drank a half a gallon of water, played with the Internet.
Then I washed all the dirty dishes while I reheated leftovers for lunch.
Then I did four loads of laundry, and folded all the clean clothes I'd just sort of left hanging around after my *last* laundry orgy.
Then I went out, it being 60 degrees out, and completely re-did the compost heap, which I'd been meaning to do in November.
Then I did a great deal of other yard work I had not gotten to in the fall.
Then I did more laundry.
Then I did some sewing. Still not done with those insulated curtains. Soon.
But now I'm tired and cranky and in pain again, and beyond that, I have bad cramps. Oh well.
But!
There were a zillion photographers at the bout, apparently, and now there exists a photo! of me! playing derby! and looking like I'm accomplishing something! and also not looking fat and awkward! OMG!
l-r Fetishly Divine, Dewey Decimator, Tuesday Hula, me.
I'm in the previous photo too. Yay! I exist! I'm not just making this up!!
I should go do yet more laundry but I don't know if I have it in me.

Date: 2008-01-07 09:29 pm (UTC)If you want to shoot pictures we don't mind, but we do ask that you not sell them. That's pretty much our only requirement. We do also really appreciate it if you share them with us, because we're always looking for photos of ourselves!!
I'm head of PR so if you give me your contact info I'll put you on the list of photographers. I don't know how formal it is but we like to know who's there, especially if you've got like a big pro-quality camera rig.
If you've just got a normal point-and-shoot camera then I don't think it matters at all, everyone has those. We're not super strict. We just, again, don't want people selling photos of us.
The next one's February 2. Tix available online etc. http://qcrg.net/WebModules/Event/Events.aspx?eid=3
The one you missed was a real nailbiter!!
