shapeofthings | And I think it's gonna be... all right...

Last night I knocked myself out with codeine and valium. Not getting a decent night's sleep for a week was doing my head in. I was tired, grumpy, snappy and had the attention span of a gnat. I was also well and truly sick of being in pain. So I tried something different last night - instead of the hot water bottles I've been using I put my sausage heat pack under my back, right under the troublesome vertebrae that's been the cause of this malarky, and by Jove I think it did something!

I woke up this morning feeling a world of difference. My back is still a little tender and movement is still a bit restricted, but it feels different.It could be the lingering effects of codeine, but it's been more than 10 hrs so I think not. I think my new sleeping arrangement shifted something and perhaps now my back will start to heal and life can get back to normal. Happy thoughts indeed!

Pansies from a few years back. I didn't get a chance to plant them this year, which is probably a good thing considering the crazy weather.
