Yep, folks, it's dead. One side of it blew out last week; couldn't understand why. Then Kris came by, took it apart, and saw that part of it had become scratched because of overuse, meaning the keyboard has become essentially useless.
Also today, I battled through 2 hours of Spanish homework this morning, gave myself a tension headache, almost got to class late because of it, and found out the assignment was due on Monday. Ha!
Tomorrow is my day off. I'm sleeping in, taking it easy, going to do nothing because I have no clue when Dad and Anna are showing up to whisk me away, back to the insanity.
The fic's getting good reviews. I was particularly proud of it this time-one of my better ones.
My knee is worse today thanks to me daring to take a step last night, but apparently I took it the wrong direction because it was sore all day today again. I'm going to have to be pretty careful not to aggravate this thing.
I still have to finish my Wellness homework, do that thing for that thing, drop my steroids down to three, pack, organize, and pack some more.
The plan I have for surviving Sunday's onslaught of family, party, questions, family, and Grandma Koshak is to dope myself on ibuprofen and pray to God the sun shines. I can survive anything-I lived through Thanksgiving, didn't I?
If I could just take a Vicodin and disappear from sight until this all blows over, I would, but Mum needs me and there's nowhere to vanish to in the church basement.
Surprisingly (and confusing as hell) though my fingers have slowed up and there's a definite warmth going through them the prednisone is holding things down...for the moment. Wait till I drop the pills down a notch-the last time I went to three I felt it within the day.
I am really quite comfortable as long as I stay within a normal range of movement and don't try anything stupid. The day before yesterday I dropped a piece of paper out of my stuff and had to bend out of the desk to pick it up, and I definitely felt every single muscle of my back fighting me all the way.
It's like it's lurking, just beneath the surface, and if I push it just that much too far I feel it there, right beneath the skin. At the moment it's very, very subtle, but no doubt this thing's going to come out at some point and let's hope it's not Sunday.
Ta,
Bec
