I Am a Hot Mess

First, a shout out to my newest discovered reader, Ryan, my classmate.  I have someone who sympathizes with my bitchnmoan.

Second, as they say, I am too old for this $[-]!+.
That means that for the first time in seven months, I went to the gym Tuesday.  I ran two miles in under 14 minutes which I can live with.  Then I decided to do some stuff on the giant exercise ball at Josh's suggestion.  Three sets of pushups and situps.

Next day, sore, yeah okay, sure, whatever.
Thursday- ummmm my stomach hurts.  Like bad.  Like I can't stand up straight.  Feels like a chronic stomach ache.  Pretty sure my abdomen is actually swollen.  Its kinda stiff.  Distractingly sore in class.  Start popping the ibuprofen.  Came home from class and had two ibuprofen, a beer, and a healthy smearing of Icy Hot.  Went to bed with more Icy Hot.  Mmm minty.

Friday- same.  Annoyed.  Uncomfortable.
Today- still can't stand up straight.  Drinking water at Jenny's suggestion.  Clearly inflamed angered muscles.  Ibuprofen.  ND basketball.  Schoolwork.  Blogging.  Most of those aren't helping though.  Found out last night that some beers help- until they add to your filling Greek food dinner (flaming cheese!  "Opa!"- what is this, My Big Fat Greek Wedding?  Who actually SAYS that??") and then your already stiff swollen midsection is stiffer and fuller with food and then drink.  

Back to school work.  Ryan knows what I'm talking about.
