I managed to hurt my back, and I don't know how. What I can tell you is that I am miserable. I have been dosing with ibuprofen today, I've icy-hotted, I've attempted to use my lacrosse ball, I've tried stretching.
I need a muscle relaxer, or something to loosen everything up. But it's not good.
My former employer did their July 4th Massacre early this year. They got rid of four trainers. I was one of eight - that leaves them three. Three trainers. That's not enough. Also it's not my problem.
But of course I worry - for the ones they let go, and the ones left behind. Again, still not my problem.
I got a good look at the evaluations from the three week train-a-thon - I got good feedback. I got called calm, soft-spoken, organized, prepared, knowledgeable. I don't feel like I'm any of those things, at least, not inherently. But it felt good that someone else does.
I have a ton of things to do between now and July. It makes it a hell of a lot harder because my brain is laser focused on back pain. But I have a party to throw on 7/1. And that means a keg, and I also need to have some parts for my UTV delivered. Fuses. Fuse pullers. Ignition switch. That's it and that's all.
But really, I just want to black out and wake up with my back OK.
I am also having some elbow problems. When I fell two weeks ago, I apparently injured my bursa, resulting in a condition called Popeye's Elbow. Basically a knot on the end of my elbow that hurts like a mofo if I bang it or rest on it, or put pressure on it.
And honestly, I just want to eat a bunch of s'mores.
And pet my dog, and sleep, and get a massage.
And a pedicure.
And maybe a cold beer.

Also, I know back pain very, very well. I wish I could suggest a remedy for it.
