Aleve does not work for me.

So I woke up Monday from a busy weekend to a warm morning. My window faces East, and I greeted the sun with a big streeeeeeeeetch. And I pinched/pulled/tweaked something in my neck and back. I was planning on being productive that day, maybe doing some cooking, a bike ride. Instead, I was down all day, then most of yesterday. Aleve did not work at all. All the warnings kind of freaked me out, too. You’re supposed to drink an entire glass of water and call your doctor if you feel like the pill is stuck in your throat. Ick. I took four Advil with dinner yesterday before band practice. Four is the same dosage I know I can take safely, from what they gave me when I had a tooth accident fixed once. Anyway, those huge blue pills didn’t do anything and just got me weirded out.

Or maybe it’s just the first time I actually bothered to read drug warnings.

It still hurts today, but I can keep my head up straight and was just in a good mood anyway. Took three walks, went shopping made a batch of burritos, did some birthday shopping for the Mrs. and took care of a job application. Much better.

I did have a good weekend, too, with a lot of good food. I will get some photos going soon, mostly at Flickr.
