Dangit!

*sigh*

First week of grad school: ridiculously busy and stressful. Life should calm down a bit now that I've gotten started in my job, but it's going to be hard, and intense, and really really wonderful. Everyone's super nice - the other grads and all the faculty, it's a very supportive environment (I went to a PARTY last night! And was only about 5/6ths as awkward as I usually am! \o/).

So: life is very good!

*sigh*

Except, me being me, I could not let THAT continue for very long. So I went grocery shopping! Not a bad thing in and of itself. But then I bought soda, and I bought two 24-packs of soda because they were on an awesome sale, and then I carried them both inside at the same time, and didn't put them down to unlock my door, and then lumbered up the narrow staircase with them. Aaaand I pulled a muscle.

*sigh*

It hurts a lot. And that's saying something - I went an entire semester with a slipped disk, where I had to lie down on the floor for most of my classes because sitting hurt too badly. And this shit HURTS.

I've never been more grateful for silk sheets. I had to slide myself out of bed. I'mma pretend it was performance art.

I'm going to go watch "Blind Dating" because Chris Pine makes me happy, and take more painkillers and muscle relaxers and when I hurt less, I'mma get up and make myself an ice pack.

Note to self: in the future, be less stupid.

*sigh*
