Legally Altered

Since hurting my back about a week and a half ago (see below), I'd been in pretty much constant pain until... I went to a walk-in clinic that handles worker's comp. They prescribed pain pills and muscle relaxers, both of which have been doing their parts to ameliorate my back pain. Alternating heat and ice packs, too, of course. But I'll be damned if that shit doesn't still hurt. Legal, paid-for drugs are great and all, but at this point I just want the whole mess to go away.

Doesn't help that business has been slow at both the restaurants where I work. So even if I could find someone to pick up a shift so I can take a whole day to rest (I've been skipping out on some crucial comedy shows to stay home and rest basically every night), even if that were possible, I can't afford to take off work. Bills won't pay themselves, muchless saving up for some more classes at the UCBT.

Add to all that: I'm coming down with a wicked-ass cold. Not entirely sure what medicine I can and can't take with the prescription meds. Ungh. Hope it's busy at work today! Ha.
