Cold Day, Hot soup

Tweet

I had to call in today due to the fact I was practically immobile this morning with back pain, stiffness, and more pain. with my husband's help, it took me half and hour to get out of bed, and I still wasn't able to stand up (my mattress and box spring is on the floor, we don't have a frame yet). So after crawling down the stairs, I was able to stand just to use the bathroom, and lay back down on the comfy sofa. After a trip to StatCare (a little clinic thing that is like an ER, but without the price) my husband picked some meds, and I have been napping on and off all day pretty much. I must say, I hate it. I want to work, I want to be able to do anything I want. But I can't. And it sucks. I do feel better that I did a few hours ago (that may be because of the various meds I'm taking), I'm able to sit in a chair without wanting to slice my spine with a katana. It has been cold and blustery most of the day (almost mirroring my mood), so I guess I must be thankful for the gift of staying in doors. With cold days, hot soup always warms my soul and lifts my spirits. As I'm typing this out, I have munched on a grilled cheese sandwich (a must with hot soup) and one of my all time faves, cream of mushroom soup. I feel warm from my nose all the down to my toes! Will I be able to work tomorrow? I hope. I've been taking it easy, resting, taking meds, and resting some more. I might go in even if I shouldn't. Might be able to do something that can help out. Until then though, I'll be enjoying my hot soup on this cold day...
