badgerbagI spent yesterday mostly in bed and then slowly moving around the house. Laid in the sun, cooked some chicken in the crockpot, read several books, and played glitch. I was crazed with pain from the sciatica but took baths instead of painkiller. I could not face unpacking. Actually in the morning I got all dressed and ready to go swim, but then realized I was in too much pain to cope so went back to bed. Ice packs on low back, hip, and ankles. I have not yet unpacked my suitcase from WisCon. Several days behind where I meant to be... Tues. was for unpacking, Wed. for crashing, Thurs. was meant to be swimming and errands!!
Looked at the Arduino starter book. I read Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord and Report to the Men's Club by Carol Emshwiller, both excellent.
This morning things are a lot better. I swept the floor and tidied up a bit and started laundry. I'm scared to screw up the sciatica again -- it is buzzing and aching. Back to the orthopedist on Monday! Should be some MRI results. I need help with this so bad. It gets unbearable.
Also I have cramps and spent yesterday feeling very low and sluggish.
I am missing a lot of Moomin's end of school year things. My plan is to get somehow to his dance performance on Saturday. (HOW!? maybe train + taxi on the other end. Then get a ride to train station. Will be v. exhausting. Dread!) Then next Thurs. will take the train down there with my mom for his last day of school, which is Field Day, and I guess train back up with him after school. (Fun but yeah exhausting again.)
I am worrying how can I work when I'm like this.... I am still aiming for the beginning of July to start work again. But I wonder if maybe I need to extend it another month. Or do half time at first. August might be more realistic. I wish I were swimming more but the sciatica has set me back a lot.
