dragonlady7I am in pain. It's low-grade pain, but it's affecting me a lot. I don't know why. Maybe I'm stressed-out. Maybe it's that everyone around me is stressed-out. I feel like I'm perfectly happy, but I'm cranky and edgy, and I can't stand or sit without something hurting.
I fell at practice on Tuesday, and got either a deep-tissue bruise or a muscle spasm or something, right in the middle of my right glute, to put it delicately. It responded positively to the application of a heating pad, so I'm assuming it's some sort of spasm.
Limping around at work aggravated a long-term low-grade weirdness, for want of a better word, in my other hip-- the left hip has been bothering me when I move it certain ways, or when I don't move it enough or move it too much. I don't know what. But that's suddenly kicked up from ignorably-intermittent to constant. (It's also shifted slightly; now it feels like the piriformus muscle, however you spell that, the location of which I am intimately familiar with from the famous Ice-Speed-Skating-Coach-Now-We-Can't-Walk incident of last season.)
Sitting hurts. Standing hurts. Leaning over hurts. Lying down hurts. None of it is severe, nothing unendurable. But it's constant, and doesn't go away; I can't stretch it out, I can't walk it off, I can't make it go away.
Work is busy, but not money-busy-- scans, scans, printing, scanning, questions, and lots of fuss, but not camera sales (which =$). I wouldn't mind, but it's just a bit hectic. And when I'm hurting and cranky, even a little hectic-ness makes me very cranky.
Plus it seems like the entire politics of my nation have taken a sharp anti-humanist hike-- is it that I'm reading more feminist blogs, or something? I don't know, but suddenly it's illegal to kill babies but legal to kill mothers, apparently, and there's all kinds of what can only be described as utter bullshit being debated, all over pop culture and politics. Things like how rape is only rape if it's violent and by a stranger, and even then often the victim is to blame anyway-- down to less-crucial but still disgusting things like "Is bisexuality real?" Fuck you. I am all for measured debate-- I love an enthusiastic debate over cocktails-- but not when the question is Are you a human even though you have a vagina?
Just for once I'd like to take that one as read, thanks.
