Things have been on a pretty even keel the past few days. No work hiccups. No personal life hiccups. One medical hiccup, but I'll elaborate in a second.

I start my first day working in the second store. I'll alternate days between the "big city" store and my original, more rural one. Even with a new set of people to get to know I'm anticipating good things!

I don't know what I did during the night, but I woke up with my pinched nerve pain and numbness dialed way, way up. I could barely move it without pain. It still manifested the same way and in the same positions, but it was much more acute.

I've been taking cyclobenzaprine with naproxen for the pain, and while they both work, they work too well. I'm normally up around 6am, but today I woke up at 7:45am and I went to bed before 10pm. Sent a message to my primary doc to see if he had any recommendations for a happy medium. Here's hoping!
