Journeys of Jack Tripper

My back is basically broken. I concluded that my back pain was what has been keeping me up nights, so I slapped on some generic Icy Hot on the side that hurt and it threw the entire other side of my back & neck out of alignment. So now, instead of a little soreness on my right shoulder blade, I now can't turn my head, tilt it, or anything. I dunno what I did to myself, but I'm just a smidge concerned. "Go see a chiropractor" is not the advice I need, heh.

Meanwhile, someone I really liked passed away suddenly yesterday, and I'm kind of mixed up about that. These sort of things take a while to sink in for me. the cat won't leave me alone, and I accidentally confused Icy Hot for hair gel due to my overall-being-out-of-it.

But I've been slowly getting here for weeks. I guess it shouldn't be any surprise. With that in mind, I'm not going out tonight, and not drinking here at home. Avoiding caffeine too. Time for a detox mission.

My parents sent me a $50 gift card to j.crew for my birthday, but I'm not certain they have anything there for less than $50. I'll go investigate on Friday.
