Ouch...BIG TIME!

My life seems to be in total disarray lately....

Work is stressful, I know everyone has that problem, and I know everyone says "come on! You work in a supermarket, what stress?" Somedays I wish I was just a cashier in the store, not responsible for all the computer price changes - signage - scale maintance - and shelf tags. Was a great job 15 or 20 years ago, when only 3000 items went on and off sale a week, but now its 6000 MINIMUM, but usually 7000-8000 items a week! Its just upsurd!

Not only am I trained to do all this and I KNOW I AM DAMN GOOD at it, but then you throw in the fact that I'm just a freaking babysitter to the department managers and vendors to do their end of the work. Glorified babysitter, with NO glory!

And now ontop of it, I threw out my back yesterday morning.....worse in years! I called my chiropractor who can "fix me" in usually 2 visits, only to find out she is out of the country on vacation til Sunday night. So pretty much I'm on my own "literally" to fix myself. I can't even remember the last time I felt so bad.

I have a phone at every location in the apartment where I can either sit or lie down. EVERY LOCATION!
Afew years back I threw my back out like this and I couldnt get myself up off the toilet....STOP LAUGHING! It hurt like hell. I had to bang on the wall of the bathroom for over 30 minutes before my Mom came downstairs to see what the hell was going on. Imagine her surprise! I think my Dad was away or something cause she had to call my brother at work and the two of them had to lift me up. Embarassing!

Poor Callie doesnt know what to make of all this. I've been home from work 2 days now and wont be going back til Friday- if I'm lucky! I'm spending alot of time just walking as best I can, but she is starving for some attention from me and has almost knocked me off balance 4 times! When I lie down in bed to relax and ice she jumps on and off me- more pain. More yelling. I feel bad. And she just doesnt know what to make of the fact that I'm from one end of the kitchen to the other on my hands and knees in order to fill her food bowls and/or scoop the poop!

And because she has seperation anxiety STILL with me, this is what I have to look out for as I get off my couch!

Oh yes, there is Noooooo place else to lie and nap is there Callie?

Pathetic life huh? I know.
God, thats only the beginning! But all I can type out now, I can't sit here any longer!
Check back in a day or so if you'd like to hear more!
