Things it hurts to do right now

By Amanda Downum, age 29 and 1/3

1. Move my head
2. Yawn
3. Sneeze
4. Nod
5. Sit in a moving car
6. Bend
7. Stand up
8. Look up, look down...did I mention moving my head?
9. Anything else involving parts located above my ribs

Be nice to your spine, boys and girls. It's mean when you piss it off.

Bitching helps

Having complained on LJ, my back feels so much better today. Now it's like a normal post-workout soreness, instead of something that replaced all my neck muscles with rebar.

And the nice instally people came today, and replaced my crappy old sink and leaking garbage disposal with Shiny Sink and the Badger 9. Shiny Sink is shiny! Shiny Sink doesn't leak! Shiny Sink has a hose attachment that extends more than four inches from its hosey lair. Shiny Sink is deep enough to bathe a tiny dog in.

Next on the home improvement list: replacing the awful wood-paneled station wagon microwave that came with the house.

Sale update

I've (belatedly, sorry) shipped everything whose payment has cleared, I believe. I'm waiting now for one echeck to clear, and another physical check to arrive. And my bloodstone and pretty labradorite coins came in the mail, so I'll make something with them soon.
