Leaked: Stupid People Tricks – a Letter to Jules

I am friggin’ sick, and decided it would be BRILLIANT to get up and shower, vote, run some errands, then GO TO THE PARK AND HIKE 2 MILES ………. *snork* Honest to God Jules, some days I am a certifiable Idiot. I was running a fever, hurt all over, have an ear infection and EVERY lymph node on the right side of my neck AND HEAD is swollen and super-super-sore …… but I popped a 2nd set of Excedrins and thought, ‘Gosh, it’s so pretty out, I’ll go for a little hike…’

Next thing I knew, I was 1 mile out from the car and my back was spasmed up TIGHT in a knot. Oh – my – God.

So there I am, laying a mile back in the woods, in the middle of the week well after tourist season (read: NO HIKERS ANYWHERE) and I can’t sit, stand, let alone walk because my left superior (lower) trapezius is tied into a granny knot.

*sigggghhhhhhhhh*

OK so, an ambulance is out of the question ($$), the rescue squad is also out of the question (I would be extremely uber-embarrassed), there was no one to haul my sorry ass OUT of the woods, so ……. I sucked it up and hauled my OWN ass outta the woods. :-P After laying on the ground (amidst the leaves and bugs and things) didn’t help relax out the spasm, I rolled over and used a tree to slowly unravel myself on/up… then really really really slowly hobbled in teeny tiny Oh-My-God-My-Back-Is-Shot-And-I-Can’t-Breathe steps. I also vagalled down several times on the journey back, very very nearly passed out several times, and every time I went to check my pulse I didn’t have one. (And as you might expect I was really short of breath too – pain and really low blood pressure tend to do that to a person). :-P LOL!!

OK, so, no more hiking for me until I am feeling way better. “It’s safe to work out when you’re sick” — *snork* Who makes that sh*t up anyway?!?!?!?! They should be shot.

Some stories are just the best the first time they were told. I forgot to mention that I was picking bugs and beetles out of my hair all night. Yeck!! ##
