Somehow yesterday I hurt my back. At first I thought it was some sort of leftover "feminine" cramping but as I sat on the floor trying to put Rob's CD collection into alphabetical order, I could tell the pain was getting worse and worse, so I crawled over to the couch and tried to find a comfy way to lie down.

It's now 24 hours after the first onslaught of pain and it's dissipating. I'm using a little thermal heating pad that you stick to your body and the heat feels really nice and comfy. Hopefully its loosened up the muscle enough that I won't have to spend another night dodging cats on the couch. I was afraid to go upstairs last night because, what if I couldn't get back down? :/ So I lay on the couch and Maggie and Mittens kept trying to shove me off of it, taking turns to see who could leap onto my hip exactly where it was the most excrutiatingly painful.

Anyway, sorry Sister Mine, but my gifts are coming late as I wasn't able to finish wrapping anything to get it to the post office yesterday. Today's not looking good either as I'm not sure I want to try out my recovery by driving a stick shift down the road. But I looooove you guys!

Reallocation is going much more smoothly than I expected. It had a rough, rough start; apparently the GM in charge of reallocation didn't realize if players used that command before all the new stuff was rolled live that they'd actually be sent to our previous reallocation system and end up messed up. Fortunately, only a handful of players were caught in this, but still... it's something to remind ourselves if we do this again someday.

Sorry to hear Broos is all stuffy. :( How can he enjoy Two Towers through a cold? All that fighting will reverberate through his sinuses. On the other hand, it'll give him the ultimate in surround sound, eh? :)
