Yesterday I was supposed to work from 10-3. My back was feeling kind of stiff when I went in, and then I had some sort of muscle spasm in my lower back. It was so painful; I took some Advil and stuck it out for a couple of hours, but it kept getting worse. I started to have customers ask me what was wrong, and then I tried to give a customer his money back along with his change--thankfully he was honest and called my attention to it--but I knew I wasn't thinking straight with all the pain. So I told my boss I had to go home. I got home and took something else for the pain and put heat on my back and mostly slept the afternoon away. It's still sore this morning, but not like it was yesterday. I'll probably get a few things done but I'm not going to push things though.

The DH was a trooper; he'd spent most of the day out in the snow getting our outdoor lights up, but he also went to the laundromat and got all our laundry done, went to the store for some stuff we needed, and then picked up supper. (Take out fried chicken from a local grocery store). He's just the best!

Last night after the medicine wore off, I made a try at something I've been wanting to do, and began to put my first story up at AO3 (well, not literally my first there, but I didn't put the first one up, Yuletide did that a few years ago which is why I have an account I've never really used myself before). I'm beginning with "Trotter". We'll see how it goes.

Hooray for sweet husbands who step up to help out when we're not at our best. I'm sorry, though, that you had such awful back pain. I used to get days like that when I was working a desk job--my lower back just didn't like all that sitting, I guess. Thankfully these days my back behaves itself better.

Good luck with AO3. I need to get on MPTT before I try AO3 (you know me and uploading to archives--but I do still plan on adding MPTT, I swear!!!), but I'll be interested to hear how your story does there.

Your DH is a jewel.

Ouch, back pain can be so debilitating. I hope you're feeling better!

ouchie on the back! I'm so glad you DH was so helpful and sweet!

As for Archive? I'm sure you'll love it. I get kudos and comments on stuff just about every day, even super old stuff like I wrote in 2002! ;)

So sorry to hear about the back pain! It really takes over, doesn't it? Your DH is a gem!

Back pain is the worst, just so debilitating. Hope you're doing better today!

Ouch, that sounds painful and most comfortable. I hope you're much better by now, with so much good care! *hugs*
Yay for uploading your stuff at the A03! ♥ I've downloaded it and made an ebook right away, as I don't know the story yet.
