Comfortably Numbed

Let's see, Monday I finally got to the store and bought Scotty new pants.  He really needed them.  Then because the pants store just happened to be right next to Smash Burger I decided to try & remedy my bad burger vibe from Saturday.  I had a beehive burger & a PB&J shake with smash fries.  All were infinitely delish.

Tuesday was not a good day for me.  I had my 2nd appointment with the pain specialist.  It shouldn't have been bad, but I have some seriously powerful negative memories of pain clinics and injections, all of which ended in me being blamed for them not being able to successfully treat the pain.  I had a full on anxiety attack, but only after the injection portion of the appointment was over.  Turns out I can take pain a lot better than I can overcome my own fears.  But then it was over & Scotty took me to Joe's.  The world is a much happier place when there's fried crawfish and plum sauce.

Today I got to go to work with Scotty so I could work on setting up a couple computers we got from surplus for Mom & Leisa.  The internet at the college is much faster than at our house.  Thank goodness I have Scotty as a resource to make miracles happen.  When we get done with this project we should all be upgraded to Win7 and have decent machines customized just how we want them....I hope.


Tomorrow we have a lunch date with Christopher Dominguez...otherwise fondly known as The Brat.  I'm really looking forward to seeing him again and getting to visit.  It has been such a long time, too long.

Tonight I'm trying out a new pain treatment for muscle spasms (my back didn't appreciate sitting at a desk to mess with the pc's).  It's a lidocain patch applied topically.  Scotty & I had a bit of a learning curve figuring out how to apply them.  I'm hoping they work cuz I now have A LOT of them.

I'm off to think happy thoughts and a liberal application of kitty snugs.
