Ah yeah...

So I have been fighting a raunchy stomach bug since Tuesday night after I got home from practice and making signs at Pork's house. At first I thought it was gas from eating the greasy pizza. I should have known better though as I never have had those awful cramps except when I am preggers.  So I drank Mylanta thinking it would help, well it probably made it worse before I finally realized maybe this is a bug.  By then I was so weak, the thought of even walking into another room was a feat more than I could take. So I called into work, hate doing that! Plus I need the hours. But, I had no choice, I had to drag myself to class later that day as it is a summer course and missing is taboo, because they aren't very long at all. Plus I already have to miss have of my next class on Monday for an Internet Safety thing at our church (More info. coming for that as it is open to the public). Anyways I literally dragged myself there, pale and weak. So anyways after I made it home, I was in bed before 10. It was nice, for a change to be able to fall asleep without sitting there forever. So I woke up at 5:45, unable to fall back asleep, then Ryker awoke at 6:15. So I thought since I was feeling a wee bit better I would take advantage of the day. Well we did our breakfast thing and waited for Gage to wake up so we could go do some shopping. Well Ryker ended up falling back asleep and so did I.  We still got up and around and went and ate lunch at Logan's, just me and the boys. Of course I was not able to eat much as I am a still bit on the yuck side. So we headed to Hobby Lobby where Steven met us. Then to Wal-Mart trying to get any needed items before we leave town tomorrow. It was nice to get out for a bit.

Steven was a dear and made a appointment for a stone massage at the Pink Papaya today and prepaid and everything. So I just got back from that and can I just say, if you have not tried one of those, they are awesome. Especially if you have really sore tired muscles like I do. Of course I had to make her aware of all the bruises all over my body, but she still managed to make it awesome. This is the first massage I have had in 10 months and 8 days. Why the exact amount? That is when I went and had that prenatal massage where I told her that I was ready to go and she so nicely rubbed those magic pressure points that sent me into labor 12 hours later and I swear is what made it last an hour and a half, pushing and everything. I have been a big believer of massages since. 

So we shall see how my muscles react to being treated nicely for a change. I am sure my body is pretty pissed for all the damage it incurs week after week. I finally broke down and told myself to get some new derby pads as the ones I am using have worn out their welcome. Their latest damage is shown below...



Yes those are in different stages of healing. I keep reinjuring them again.

Anyways, tomorrow we leave for Oklahoma to my sisters wedding. Hoping I am completely better before the drive. For those that are around the NWA area, if you have nothing to do this Saturday, be sure and head on down to the Shelter Skelter bout for some nice derby action. Would be my first official game, but alas I have to miss it.
