cornerofmadnessand I had no nice fire. So I walk out the door (without the clothes I wanted to donate to the veterans) and get hopeful. There's no rain but it's grey. I'm about 20 miles out of town when a blinding ice storm hits. It is so bad even 18 wheelers are doing 45 mph.
That keeps up for about ten miles before it goes to snow, not nearly as bad but the road is slushy but the closer to Chillicothe I get the less that is and then you have some fools trying to go 70 mph (which is the road speed and it's like dudes, if the truckers aren't going for it, you shouldn't either. Have I mentioned I need 4 new tires because mine are getting baldish.
The nerve block is a procedure that has to be done under flouroscope (basically an x-ray) so you go in, they scrub down your back and you have to lay on your belly face in a hole (like a massage table). They have to get the anaesthetic between your vertebrae with the needle to numb up the nerves (guided by the x-ray and contrast dye) Imagine if you will the size of the needle needed to penetrate skin, fat AND Muscle to get between the bones. Now do this four times per side. Whee.
Off I went to the mall (since I was there) because I wanted to test to see if it worked. The left side feels like someone punched me in the kidneys, however I can bend and squat without pain so this seems to be very hopeful.
I also hit the Mexican restaurant and the coffee shop which was hosting a Billy Graham prayer help con (thankfully in a locked off room) which I only mention because in walks this guy who made me double take. he looked like the villain from Poltergeist 2 if you put about 120 more pounds on him. No lie he even had the damn hat!!
Other than that today was dedicated to writing. I will bbl with maybe a tidbit and a word count. I've made it to the pentultimate chapter of the novel. yay.
38527 / 50000 words. 77% done!
Tidbit : Al watched him walk out before letting out a huge breath. “I never thought I’d be so grateful Robbie is a creep.”
“We always thought he stalked girls. Now we know for sure.” Grace wrinkled her nose. “It feels wrong to benefit from it but we can’t ignore it.”
“No we can’t,” Dan said, spatulating up a slice of pizza onto his plate. “We need a plan. It’s just as well only two of you are going but even then you’ll need to keep out of sight. If whoever is at this house, if we’re right, they will know all of our faces by now.”
“If she’s good, she might even be able to recognize magical signatures,” Howell added, snaring a piece of pizza with his bare fingers.
