Lack of Posting
There is a legitimate reason the updates have been lacking on this blog for the past week. Come last week at about this exact time I started to feel a serious pain in my back. Immediately dismissing my first thought that I was pregnant, I moved on to realizing that moving my fridge and computer tower at the same time was a bad idea. I moved recently from the seventh floor down to the first floor to a single room for various reasons. My refrigerator was the last thing I had left to move. This is one of those small ones that is no taller than say oh, my computer tower. To fit the fridge best in my room it had to go where my computer tower currently was. I picked up the computer tower with one hand and sort of pushed the fridge under after just sitting it down. A little more lifting and adjusting of the two (at the same time) and I was set. In the process of carrying the fridge down (I held it while in the elevator) and adjusting it once it was in the room, I did something very wrong to my back.
I now have a pulled "gardener" muscle, which apparently snakes up inbetween my vertebras in my back and helps hold them together. This means it hurts a lot to stand still or sit with my back not firmly pressed against something. This has resulted in extended times to do the simplest tasks such as homework and folding clothes. There has been little desire to blog or do much of anything else lately, however things are improving. The pain is supposed to last at least another two weeks however, so things won't be improving too fast. On the plus side, I can barely stand in our cafeteria buffet area to get food, so it's like being on a diet for a couple of weeks.

Are you on the first floor of RWJ? If so, what room? I'm always on the first floor of RWJ - but on the noisy side of the building, room 108.
