The terrible thing about have such a weird and constantly fluctuating work schedule is some days I just feel like I shouldn’t have to go in when I actually do. My job doesn’t really have “sick days” either, or at least I wouldn’t be able to take a day with a clear conscience unless I was actually dying or would be a danger to the kids.
My back actually hurts quite a bit today, enough that I know lifting to baby onto the changing table is going to be difficult, but not impossible. And I wonder if the weather has something to do with it or if I’ve just overworked the muscles and that’s why I’m so tight and sore. It could also be that all of the NSAIDS and pain relievers have finally completely worked their way out of my system. I’m contemplating taking simple Aleeve today, but I’m worried that I’ll get dizzy and have tightness in my chest again and I don’t want to take that risk when I have to drive through this slush and take care of children.
If anyone has pain reliever advice that isn’t ibuprofen (allergic) I’ll gladly take it.
But Tia is coming over tomorrow, and I don’t plan on doing anything productive and that sounds like a great plan.
