I should be at work right now.
I’m not, because I spent all night gulping down pain medicine and trying to find a position in which I could sleep. There’s a knot in my back at my left shoulderblade that hurts like [censored]. There hasn’t been a minute in the last 15 hours in which it hasn’t hurt at all. I occasionally slept through it, when I became too exhausted and when the meds kicked in for a while, but it never lasted long.
There are important things to do. The Kaseya server needs some attention, most importantly. I haven’t even entered my time from yesterday. I hate letting the company down like this. I almost got up and went to work anyway, but finding myself on the verge of tears merely from sitting up in bed put the kaibosh on that idea.
So, I’m going to spend the rest of the day trying to find a comfortable-ish position from which to grit my teeth and endure until this knot goes away. Wish me luck.

Oh no! I wish there was something more I could do than offer my sympathies and hope you are better soon. If you have a heating pad, I definitely recommend using it on the aching parts, even in this weather. If you don’t have a heating pad (or a rice bag you can nuke in the microwave for 2-3 minutes to heat up), a rather wet (not-quite-drippy) towel heated in the microwave to pretty hot and then wrapped in a dry towel & placed against the ache makes a decent substitute.
