Frustration.

I promise: someday I will write about happy lovely things. That is just not the place I find myself right now. I woke up this morning in excruciating pain. I can't move my head backwards or look to the sides. I had some muscle tension yesterday, but nothing that would have caused this. Anyway, when my boss got into work this morning I asked if I could make a quick massage appointment sometime between 8am-9:30am since I have to attentively take notes for 2 hours which will be incredibly difficult given that I have a horrible headache teamed with excruciating neck/back pain that makes my left arm go numb on occasion. She said NO. I am in enough pain that if my colleagues had not been ill this week I would have called in sick. I realize we are short staffed, but some type of accomodation or compassion would be great. So, I am icing my neck and back. However, all I can do is look straight ahead at the computer. I can't look down to edit the document I really need to edit. I can't turn to see who is trying to sneak up behind me. This is going to be a challenging day.

So of course, because I am limited in what I can physically do I am blogging and reading my horoscope: You can feel the tension building at work today, yet you cannot figure out how to resolve it. Oddly, you aren't overly concerned about what may happen because you believe that whatever occurs will be better than being stuck where you are. Your intuition is correct; dynamic change is in the air and you will finally be free to follow your bliss. How does Google know? Well, about the first part. Regarding the latter, I keep on hoping dynamic change will find me...but it never seems to float in my direction. But don't you worry, I am seeking it out myself!

Okay, I hate to end posts so negatively. On a happy note. I made an amazing cranberry-apple-ginger pie last night that I can't wait to try at a social this afternoon. The smell of fresh pie reminds me of my grandma's house in the forest and the stories she always told while making her pies. In addition, I am attending a good old fashion kegger tonight. :) Something about old familiars around the holidays is comforting.
