Out of Order
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!
I’m going to lie low for a little bit because I have a knot the size of a golf ball where my neck and left shoulder intersect, and the pain is very palpable, very distracting, and is causing me a fair amount of distress. (Not to sound like a namby pamby or anything.) I’ve been kneading my skin raw, applying hot compresses, doing stretchy exercises, and still the angry, bulbous knot won’t resolve itself. Obviously this isn’t your standard “crick in the neck,” and I’m still waiting for the doctor to call me back so I can be a happy camper again (well, as much as I can be, anyway.) Don’t cry for me, Nicaragua.
Till then, I leave you in the capable hands of my fellow green malcontents (see sidebar) for your regular serving of bile and rage. Check out, in particular, 3R Blogging’s post on Christians and the environment. (For the record, I was raised Catholic and still identify myself as Catholic, but I don’t believe in organized religion so I guess that makes me a godless heathen. Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to. Eternal salvation is overrated anyway.)
Oh, download Jill Sobule’s Al Gore-inspired song on global warming, “Manhattan in January” at TedBlog. (While you’re at it, download the Jill Sobule-Jim Boggia duet, “Made Me So Happy,” from iTunes—it’s one of my favorite songs, and is excerpted here.)

Tried over the counter muscle relaxants yet? I hear they work.
Alternatively, a good lavender pressing?

Oh feel better! I get that every now and again and there’s nothing worse than persistant pain. I usually hop myself up on Advil (like 4) or whatever it’s equivalent is in the eco-friendly world. ;-)

[...] Unless I get another major flare-up, expect to see me and my hub-unit there for as long as the Tylenol holds out. Look for the shortest Asian girl in the room and say hi. (And by short I mean 5-foot short, not Tattoo-from-Fantasy-Island short, though there are days I feel that way.) I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow. On my day off! My work ethic holds no bounds. (Boss, are you reading this?) [...]

[...] In case you missed it the first time, be sure to download and listen to Jill Sobule performing “Manhattan in January,” her song about global warming and … well … Manhattan in January—where it’s 61 degrees. In Manhattan. In January. My preacher says “Now don’t you worry, “The scientists have it all wrong.” And so who cares, it’s winter here, And I have my halter top on. [...]
