Am having a most distressing amount of stiffness and pain in my back, so can't sit at the computer long. I know exercise is the best thing, but I also know it often gets to hurting more when I'm out walking quickly. I've been having steadily increasing nagging lower back pain from standing all day at work, and that's combined in a killer way with regular monthly cramps, and then yesterday I tweaked it by just twisting a little as I was standing from a crouch. Today I couldn't face walking - I couldn't do my usual pre-walk stretching. Hell, I couldn't even sit on the floor to begin stretching without whimpering. Took 3 Advil (recommended dosage is one) and am feeling a bit dopey, but hope that will keep me drugged enough to stretch and loosen up before work.

Yesterday I discussed with the vet what it was my cat died of, as she had finished her autopsy. Turns out that she probably went into cardiac arrest because her heart was having a hard time pumping blood because her aorta were constricted by huge amounts of fluid in her abdomen, leaked out from her internal organs which were all aggravated and pushed around by lymphatic (?) cancers, which had spread throughout her abdomen. So basically, it all went at once. I guess there's worse ways to go, because really she was only in pain during the very last day. Note to self: next time a cat's belly swells up over a few days, don't bother to take her to the vet, just let her be home and happy for a little longer.

But on a happy note, Paula is delighted to be an only cat. She's wandering around the place singing (yowling) joyously - Ginger used to beat her up when she did that.

Okay, it's taken me at least a half hour to write this much, because I have to keep stopping to stretch. Need breakfast and shower, now.

The shower helped by back, some.:)

So apparently the latest rumor going around about me at work is that I'm a Mormon. Because I was at the strip club a few weeks ago, and ever more people are realizing that I'm actually looking for a woman. *chortle*

addendum: Daegaer does it again... takes a premise that normally everyone loves to hate and makes a good fic out of it. How can male pregnancy fics EVER be good? Features cowed!Crowley and ass-kickin!Aziraphale - yay! :)
