averygoodun42Bad period is bad. Nothing compared to someone with endometriosis, but not fun at all. My uterus and lower back are in cahoots, however. The nasty little conspirators.
I was giving myself a tummy rub this morning and came across a whole city of trigger points in my uterine region. Nasty, nasty trigger points that made it feel like I was stabbing myself in the back while pushing on my front. It's actually rather amazing that, for the most part, my periods are rather meh, as my sacrum and uterus have been the center of messed-up-ness in my body for a long, long time. I remember feeling much worse than this, eons ago, when my sister gave me a massage focusing on my sacrum. I think I would be feeling as ill as I had then if I had worked on more than one trigger point today, however.
I'm hoping, however, that I am feeling this cruddy because I have released something. I'm also hoping the painkillers will help my body calm the fuck down soon, though. Nothing will be gained if my body freaks out over the release.
In better news, my snot is no longer a radioactive color - the first time in a month. So the antibiotics must be working. Yay! I'm not "better" yet, but I'm definitely on my way, now. When the unrelated cramps ease up, I think I will actually be better.
Outside of health stuffs, things are going decently. Geoff saved the morning today, after Page told him how excited he was about the Easter Bunny visiting last night, by going to the effort I wasn't willing to expend. Which is only fair, as I expend a heck of a lot more energy at Christmas-time than he does. (I care about Christmas, while Easter is kinda meh without the candy involved.)
Anyway, Page enjoyed the hunt for eggs this morning, although he did express dissatisfaction over the Easter Bunny's choice of egg contents (Page's own legos from off the floor). But the hunt itself was a pleasure for him, so that was fun. So yay for Good Dads!
But now I am going to go lie down on the couch and watch/listen to some show. And maybe even go back to sleep. That would be nice. Especially as I bet that would ease my pain considerably. :-)
Oh, and one other good thing: my crocuses are blooming in the back yard. Cheerful little things, they are. I'm really looking forward to the daffodils, though they'll be another couple of weeks at least. And maybe tomorrow I'll be able to get into the garden to start the spring clean up. I am positive that would help on so many levels.
ETA: Interesting. I just noticed that LJ is automatically adding a mood. I assume they're using a program that rates the quality of the majority of the words, but sheesh, presumptive much? I wasn't and am not actually "annoyed". In pain, yes (that would be: crappy, sick, ill, distressed, drained, exhausted, irritated, listless, nauseated, uncomfortable), and yes, I am complaining about it (bitchy, discontent), but my overall mood is just fine, thanks. "Grateful" would be just as valid as "annoyed". So would contemplative, pensive, hopeful, devious, and complacent. And, yes, I am aware that some of those are seemingly mutually exclusive.
And, of course, now that I've discovered this programmed assumption, I AM annoyed. But still not enough to list it as my primary mood.
ETA 2: Oh, god are pain killers wonderful things! So are heating pads, hot, sweet drinks and dark (dark; 87%) chocolate. *nods*
