Work today? Not so much...

So, I decided to develop pins and needles (only mildly! But enough to be annoying) yesterday and my back was rather painful this morning, so I gave up and called in sick. Saw the doctor this morning who doesn't think anything is seriously wrong with my back (um, buh?) but called me a couple of hours later to suggest that I got for blood-tests because the pins and needles is a little worrying. I'm hoping that it will clear up over the weekend, but I have the form and will go for the tests this afternoon. Honestly, if this doesn't start clearing up soon I'll start insisting on scans just to put my mind at rest!

She did give me some new, even stronger, painkillers. Because of course masking the pain is much more important than finding a root cause for it.

If I'm not able to get into work on Monday, Da Boss is going to try to rig some things up so that I can do some work from home so that at least they won't have to declare me sick too much.

So what am I doing today? Fixing a bug in Haven Reviews that didn't become apparent until search bots starting crawling the place. At least I've got it set up to email me with details of errors so that I had the information available to fix it quickly :-) Still, it's interesting to note how quickly it has started to be crawled since it went live.

I need amusement. I may not be able to sit up for very long, but damnit I'm going to find good fics to read while I can sit up :-)

A little bouncey thing

In the midst of doom and despair (*snort*) I have fun treats to enjoy :-)

Amazon sent me a lovely parcel today. I now have a new Doctor Who audio book starring Peter Davidson (my favourite old school Who) and naominovik's Temeraire to gloat over. First page of the novel reads really well and, as I love her writing style from her fanfic, I should be very happy when I have time to bury myself in it.

The Radio Times has the first Doctor Who Watch article. Let the count-down to the new series begin! I'm gonna be so darned excited when it finally gets here *g*

Also, tomorrow I get to go on steam trains with terrylbirch *nods* It will be wonderful and I will have lots of fun.

Wow, finding squeeable things ain't so hard after all!
