State of the Ash

[ashinae]

Wow, I don't update often anymore, do I? Does anybody care?

1) Am in rather extraordinary amounts of pain. I hurt my back at my old job, moving stock that I just was not physically strong enough to move (boxes weighing 30, 40, or more pounds, and doing all the shelf-stocking on my own, because I was junior on the stepladder). I've always had trouble with my lower back and my shoulders; this has caused me to now have lots of trouble with my upper back. The more time I spend with this new job of being on my feet all the time, the worse my back has been getting. I visit the chiropractor about twice weekly now. :-/ Am kind of fucked all over with this; nothing got done with WSIB because I didn't really know about it, didn't talk to my parents about how much pain I really was in when management at the last job just didn't seem willing to take an interest in adjusting my schedule to allow me to get the treatment I needed, and of course didn't take the responsibility of filing an accident report with the WSIB in the first place. And now it's been well over six months, and I'm SOL. Woe.

2) nemerl_mush.

3) I've spent the past while "watching" B5 from start to finish. The ending of that show bloody well kills me. I sob my way through "Sleeping in Light". Lochley grows on me the more I watch it; I think I just got annoyed because she wasn't Ivanova, and because of the character she played on Lois and Clark.

4) Am distinctly unhappy with my body again.

5) Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children vid continues. It's taken me many, many hours -- like, three hours for 20 seconds of fairly uncomplicated footage. If it's complicated, it can take much longer. I've run out of how long, exactly, I've been working on it. I have a minute left.

6) There is no six.

7) Apparently there isn't a seven, either. Am very boring.

Yes. Some of us do care.

1) Sorry to hear about the back. Hope you are getting meds in addition to chiropractic help.

2) There is no two.

3) Have just started watching again. Saw the pilot and first 4 episodes over the last 3 nights. Getting hooked again. A good kind of hooked--the story arcs are fantastic.

Yes. Some of us do care.
*HUGS*

1) No, no drugs. Doc won't give me any.

3) That show was all about the story arcs and characters. I can forgive occasionally bad dialogue and awkward acting if the characters and story are interesting and solid. ♥

Sorry about the back pain. Hope you can take care of it -- and not get re-injured -- so it doesn't become chronic.

Am certainly doing what I can for the back. Bought a new chair, too, ergonomic with lumbar support, and am even in the market for a new mattress.

[lannamichaels]

*hugs* I care. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. :(

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

*clings* I'm sick and tired of being icky and tired!

[esteven]

Oh,I am certain there are people who care (including me), so
(((((ashinae))))). I only think you are kept busy by RL and don't want to spam you needlessly.
1)Maybe your chiropractor knows what to do, what sort of excercises to get so that your back does not get worse.
7)You are so not

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Aww *BIG hugs!* I sort of figure that everybody figures that I get busy when I don't post. Truth of the matter is, that it's usually that I'm in a funk and not feeling up to anything and generally feeling sorry for myself! *g*

The next step with the chiropractor is to find out if there are any exercises I can do, because this whole situation is just getting ridiculous now. Woe!

[esteven]

Well, everybody should feel sorry for themselves at some stage (when others don't do it)
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you will be able to work on a couple of excercises. Then all you will net is resolve to do them on a regular basis.
*hopes you are better*

[silverysnow.livejournal.com]

*raises her hand enthusiastic!Hermione-y* I do!

1. I hope your back'll get better very soon. *crosses fingers*
5. Considering from your previous vids, I'm sure the amount of time spent making it will worth a fantastic result in the end. :)
7. Far from it, dear. You'd made me giggle with that.

1) Thank you! It's been giving me trouble since last June; it's been getting steadily worse, unfortunately, but hopefully some well-wishes will give it the positive energies it needs. :)
5) *BLUSH* Thank you!!

Oh, good! I thought it was just me. I'm a total mush. I bawl every time I watch that last ep - and the whole god/king/sacrifice thing with Londo just kills me - well, as a Londo/G'kar slasher, I always hope that there's some alternate universe where G'kar rushes in at the last minute, tears that ugly one-eyed bugger off Londo's shoulder and sweeps him off his feet - and Sheridan has found some way to save Centauri Prime and destroy the Drakh and it's all good.

I'm a romantic. Can you tell? :)
But yeah. I love B5

[ashinae.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I wasn't exaggerating about crying my way through that final ep. *whimper* And oh, the Londo/G'Kar storyline. So tragic and wonderful and *sniff*. ♥ So much love for that show.
