The Verdict Is...

So I have a strained trapezius muscle.  The nurse practitioner said the muscle was a huge knot.  That is also why my scalp hurts.  She gave me a muscle relaxer that I take at night that I hate.  It dries out my mouth so bad. It feels like I am recovering from a night of drinking.  I drink water as fast as I can, but it never seems to be enough.  Ice and rest were the rest of instructions.  I am not sure how I did it, but I am going to blame the Insanity workout.  I think I will wait a few months before I try it again.  For now it will be the elliptical and the treadmill for me.

This post is brought to you by the letter B

B is for blah.  That is how I have felt the last few days.  I had one of those morning where I truly questioned why I stay home.  I have no patience, and today Hannah tested me until I ran out of patience.  Some days I just feel like a maid.  I feel like I am constantly cleaning up after others with no compensation.  I don't get holidays or weekends.  I am up early just like others who go to work. Hmm...I sound bitter.  I guess B can also stand for bitter today.

I think part of the problem is I have shoulder and neck pain for the last 2 weeks.  The right side of my face and scalp feel like they are sunburned.  It hurts to brush my hair.  Even my right eye feels funny.  At first I figured it would go away, but it hasn't so I made an appointment to find out what is wrong.  It has been hard to sleep, and it hurts to do certain things. Trying to mop the floors this morning was not fun.  I have no clue what I have done to my body.

Maybe chocolate will make me feel better...
