Last night I was internent-less for a couple hours. After some troubleshooting the computer geek boyfriend and I decided there was nothing I could do on my end and that the problem was with the internet company. And all of a sudden, I found myself with far more time than I expected last night.

I cleaned my apartment, I watched Law and Order, I went to bed early. Do I really waste this much time on the computer every day?? I might have to start turning off the internet at night because the free free time was fabulous.

Spent a good part of last night hunched over on the couch, computer in my lap, reading cases for my paper. Knew it wasn't the smartest thing in the world but didn't think I'd pay so dearly.

Woke up this morning with a distinct feeling of WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH MY BACK?! In my groggy-ness I remember feeling like any position I laid in left me in severe pain. As I began to wake up I thought I had a stiff neck - no biggie.

And then I tried to get up.

I couldn't even sit up straight in bed. It took all the energy and pain tolerance I had to reach the phone which was sitting on the dresser about a foot away... just rolling onto my side hurt something fierce.

When I was finally able to grab the phone I dialed the boyfriend's number and was barely able to mutter "Hon... my back reaaaaaaaaally hurts...." before I was overcome by dizzyness. I told him I had to put the phone down because I was about to pass out. Next thing I new I woke up and my ears were ringing and I was covered in cold sweat and the cell phone was flipped open next to me and my back hurt SO bad and I was like what the HELL just happened?

The pain was THAT bad.

My wonderful mother came and picked me up and took me to the doctor where I was told to take lots of ibuprofen and use a heating pad. It took me half an hour just to get out of bed because any movement at all hurt like the devil, but now that I'm up and mobile I'm feeling a little better.... which I suppose isn't saying much because it still feels like someone is jabbing a knife in between my shoulder blades...
