My back feels somewhat better! I am cautiously optimistic! I'm going to punctuate every sentence with an exclamation point!

No, seriously, I think that massage therapy yesterday + muscle relaxer last night = a good bit of relief. It's still stiff and a bit sore, but nooooothing like it has been for the past few days. Like, I can actually turn my head without yelling obscenities.

Now the question: Do I resume normal activities and plunge head-on into all the things I've not gotten done this week? Or ease back in, lest I reinjure myself? I want to take on the world, because I'll be honest, I've been bored out of my mind and feeling like a complete waste of space this week. But I don't know if that's wise. "Taking it easy" is not exactly my forte' though.

Actually I really want some Chinese food, which is odd, because I'm normally not a fan. But right now, I'd kill for a big order of fried rice. And I know that if I eat Chinese food, I'm probably going to wind up with a migraine due to the MSG and I'll just be all complaining and whiny again. But I'll probably go anyway, because I'm weak and I have no willpower.



I'm just battling with myself...don't mind me...

My Mom makes good msg-free fried rice ;)

That does me a lot of good with your mom being in Knoxville. :-) My mom makes good fried rice, too, but it's not like you'd get in a restaurant.

This will probably gross you out, but we put ketchup on it!

Ew, ketchup.

Mom always puts tons of eggs in it for me. I love fried rice with lotsa eggs.

If you want it local just go in and ask them to make you some fresh, specify that you are ALLERGIC to MSG. I didn't do that last time we went for Chinese, and I should've! They don't have to put the MSG in and usually won't if you ask before the dish is made.

Yeah, apparently when my dad was in Vietnam, they'd eat ketchup on their fried rice. I have no idea how or why, but that was how I grew up eating it. I remember the first time I got it out in a restaurant, I was wondering where the ketchup was.
