What's mildly irritating you today?

Ditto.
Can't do the sunshine though.

I have horrid phlegm in my throat again.
I coughed every time I turned over last night. I knew I did, but Mum helpfully pointed it out this morning anyway.

My legs ache, yet I barely walked today - lifts.
I was cold earlier. That's big news. I had to put on a long sleeved top - in March!
And I couldn't eat my lunch! Am thinking about having it for tea, but it's 19.20 already and I still don't fancy it. All very strange for me.

Also I pulled something in my shoulder today, while cleaning on the last day of term. Meant I got to sit out 30 mins in the staffroom with ice on my shoulder while painkillers kicked in. But it was pretty boring, and I'd rather have been cleaning. Luckily, the news passed along the TA grapevine and plenty of people dropped by to check I was okay. I could have sat still in class, but my class teacher was at near-boiling point, so I sat it out.

Hurting now. Time for more painkillers

Patient has been doing business with me for ten years. He has sunglasses, wants his old clear lenses tinted to have a second pair of sunglasses, so there's no urgency. Drops them off on Monday. I tell him they'll take about a week, and I'll call him as soon as they come in. He calls yesterday and asks if they've come in. I tell him no, that I'll call him as soon as they arrive. He tells me that he's going out - if they come in late Friday, leave a message and he come in on Saturday to pick them up, but if he doesn't get a message, he'll know they aren't in. Ok. Got it. Good plan. He just called to see if they came in.

I went outside to play with the dogs, and got bitten half to death by sandflies. I don't know if they exist in other parts of the world, but in my world, the leave incredibly itchy, huge welts on my skin.

I think I'm going to just slice my skin off.

Oww Ali. Calamine any good?

[Aliantha]

Nothing much is any use Dana. Mostly you just have to put up with it. If I take phenergan it helps, but it's best to avoid that sort of stuff for me at the moment of course.

I was just having a bitch though. It'll be ok.

After riding my bike 2.5 miles, I stopped for a drink of water and was immediately treated to a muscle spasm in my right calf.

No time, I was too busy lying on the sidewalk screaming.

Srsly, I had to go uphill almost all the way to get to the point where I stopped, so I was able coast most of the way back home. It's still giving me a bit of a twinge.

Eat a banana, drink pickle brine

Just read this and remembered. Muscle spasm (for me) passed off the same afternoon.
I think my shoulder was just protesting about being a cleaner!

But the cough that set it off is the one I'm still being treated for.
And it's still bloody irritating. To me and Mum.

[DanaC]

I'm still getting twinges in my back. Nowhere near as bad, but every so often it twangs and ooof, hurts.

Pilates.

No, it's not irritating me..... for your back, D.

[Aliantha]

Yep, pilates will help improve your core strength and protect your back from further injury.
