Gratitude & Pants

I wanted to take a moment to publicly thank my friends for all their help during my incapacitation. Everyone really stepped up to help me, even when I didn't remember much.

You see, I hit a moment where I thought my friends had left me to fend for myself. I had a house to pack and nobody was coming to help me.

This is the problem when people tell you something when you are stoned out of your mind. I had conversations with several friends, all of whom offered their help. The problem, I completely forgot they offered. Seriously, I had no idea; no recollection of the conversation whatsoever.

In the end it all worked out and now I am drug free...for the most part.

The most memorable time for me (I do remember some things) was when I answered the door to send Princess off with Rooster X to Freckle's house for her son's (Blue Eyed Boy) 6th birthday party.

As I opened the door, Princess says to Rooster X, "Mommy put her pants on all by herself!!!" I learned later that Rooster X was kind enough to share this exciting news with all my friends at the birthday party.

I thought you all might like to share in the excitement. Yes, I put my pants on all by myself!

Going For the Drugs

Everyone around me knows that I am the all natural girl. I choose homeopathy and naturopathy over alopathic medicine all the time.

There are exceptions.

When I can't fall asleep (which isn't often) I take a Benadryl and within 30 minutes I'm out. Zzzzzzz.....

When my back acts up (as it often does) I go for the Ibuprofen and the chiropractor. A massage couldn't hurt either.

When my back completely locks up, sending me into body wrenching spasms, I go for the drugs. I believe that our bodies have the ability to heal. If the body can't relax, it can't heal. The muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatory allow the body to relax and repair itself.

Here I lay, all drugged up, posting for my dear readers. I hope you aren't getting tired of all this back pain drama. There isn't much else happening in my life at the moment and this is about as exciting as it gets.
