More pain, please!

And now my lower back is spasming badly, my sciatica is flaring, and my legs and feet feel numb. (Also, I have severe PMS and bloating, so I feel terribly fat.)

Yay!

I'm going to do exercises when I get home. This is ridiculous.

Like incense from a different time

I've posted about this before, but I feel it bears repeating, for me anyway.

Vicki's Sun Protection Lotion contains some fancy, exotic, very special essential oils: Jasmine Sambac, Pink Lotus, Helichrysum, Chamomile, Lavender, and Cedarwood. A while back, I had massaged the lotion into my hands and wrists, enough to smell the fragrance strongly every time I raised my hands to my face. And then I spent a few hours in a blissful, tranquil state, in which I relaxed enough to the point where my chronic pain stopped bothering me.
Hypnotic aromatherapy oils, see?
I just did it again. It still works. For back spasms. And sciatica.
I am all tranquil and whee. *giggle* The pain insists, "Um, I'm flaring here, pay attention." And I smile and say, "Screw that, I wanna sing trippy songs from the 1960s."
The pain is still there, no question. But I feel as though I have just taken a painkilling drug.
Who says aromatherapy doesn't work?
Also, my hands are really soft and smooth now. And protected from the sun. Bonus.


*standard disclaimer: if you buy this lotion, you may or may not have the same experience. if you do, fantastic, tell me about it. if you don't, at least you will have a moisturizing sunscreen that smells good.

This Is Good.

One banana. One cup half full of chocolate syrup. Dip banana in chocolate. Eat. Imitate Homer Simpson with a donut. Yes.

Take one pill of Soma. Do stretching exercises with husband. Have kitten lay on chest during curl-ups. Yes. Hehehe.

Thoroughly enjoy Soma-induced muscle relaxation that feels like a non-sexual full body orgasm. Oh yes.

I feel no pain.
Whenever I feel no pain, I need to announce it.
You understand.
