NBR--Pity Party, Table for One

BrideBuddies · July 2011

So what do you do for a really bad stiff neck? Heat or ice? Can't friggin' turn my head or lean over and I'm literally sick to my stomach.

Felt fine at 4am when the cat brought a LIVE mouse to our bedroom and we had to wait for her to finish killing it so I could toss it in the toilet.

Oh.. and I'm babysitting my neighbor's 5 year old this morning so she can go to the dentist. He's a nice little boy but I'm not mentally prepared to deal with a 5 year old today.

And I'm crampy. Aunt Flo makes a grand entrance this morning.

And, to top it off, I'm turning 44 today. Must be the age thing kicking in. At least hubby says we're going to Red Lobster tonight (which is the closest thing to seafood you can get in this town.)

Grumble grumble grumble.

ewww....waiting for her to finish killing it....ewwww....

Take advil and put a heating pad on the neck. Hope rest of your friday gets better

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (first things first!)

I'd go with the heating pad for your neck. I've used those disposable heating pads and loved them.

An early birthday present from kitty...that was sweet! (Well, kinda gross, but kitty meant well.)

Hope you enjoy your birthday dinner!

I was okay when I thought the mouse was dead.

But I freaked when she put it down and it started running toward the bed...looking for a place to hide. Luckily, she caught it again and finished him off!

Good kitty! She's ancient and arthritic, but still gets those mice outta our house.

heat. Do you have one of those things you can throw in the microwave and put around your neck? Moist heat would be awesome. I had to do that for a stiff neck a while ago. And yes, advil or other anti-inflammatories would be good.

Happy Birthday! On the positive note, when you are 64 you will think "I wish I were 44 right now". So enjoy being 44!

Not sure what to do with the neck issue other than Motrin.

Holy crap. I just realized that the cat caught a mouse LAST YEAR on my birthday, too. What does this mean!!!????

First Happy 44.

Second if you do not have a microwavable heating pad you can make your own with a tube sock (clean and no holes) and rice. Fill the sock with rice, knot the top and put it in the microwave. You might need to do a 30 sec to a minute at a time to get the right temperature the first time without burning the rice.
