On how blow drying your hair can be super-dangerous.

Sorry for not blogging yesterday, guys, but I was rendered unable to move or think rationally for several hours after what seems to be a pinched nerve in my back took over my body.

Basically, I was blow drying my hair when I literally dropped the brush and dryer and fell to the ground yelling "Owwwwwwwwww!" super loud and to no avail. Also, note to self, house cats are entirely useless when it comes to, like, calling for help or lifting you safely into your bed. Lassie would've killed it, and so in the Collies vs Tabby Cat battle, collies shall receive one point for this round.

Anyway, after repeatedly saying "ow" and trying to move at all didn't work, CB swept in all Superman-like and brought bagels, coffee, and heating packs and saved my life. Or at least preempted the caffeine headache I would've surely suffered otherwise, which is basically the same thing.

Moral of the story: I'm getting super-old, you guys. And possibly carry stress in my back? Either way, my Sherpa duties have been retired for the time being until I can sit or lay or stand without contorting into a position only Cirque de Sole-types could understand.

However, I'll be back tomorrow for the wrapup, so stop by then. Happy Thursday!

    But I hear ya on getting old...30 years old and my knees creak when I squat and stand up (which out of context, I realize that looks kinda dirty...I'm talking about in my exercise class).

  6. That's where I carry my stress too. It's been bad this week and I feel like I'm giving people the stink eye because I can't turn my head all the way to look at someone behind me!!

  7. Oh dear! Now I can add hair-drying to the list of dangerous activities! I have a nerve in my neck that pinches every so often. It's a leftover from co-sleeping with my daughter in the crook of my arm when she was an infant. I recommend massages as often as needed to keep things in line...
