I’ve never been good with pain, haven’t had much experience with it either. I’m sick often, but that’s always been more about feeling weak and feverish than about being in pain. So right now, I’m pretty damn uncomfortable, because there’s something wrong with my back (maybe from my first try at yoga — I might have been a bit too enthusiastic and pulled something).

Sitting in class was awful, and then walking around afterwards was even worse. So I’ve been sitting (more like lying) on the couch all afternoon, because I simply couldn’t face going out there again and being in so much pain again. And I couldn’t even spend the time on my laptop, because sitting straight hurts, too. Took painkillers (called my doctor — his wife/assistant told me to take them three times a day), although I don’t like taking painkillers more than once a day, but it’s not helping a lot.

Am I a wimp? I sure as hell am. I am very aware that there are a lot of people that go through life with chronic pains much worse than this — but this is the first time for me, and it’s making me pretty miserable.

Not the most interesting entry in the world — but I just had to get it out, just so I know how ridiculous I am, moaning and whining like this. My apologies. Time to get off the comp anyway.
