Well, between the stress of the last month, being in a dunk tank on Sunday, and dancing, I have hurt my back. I know, I know, old news right? Nope, it hasn't hurt like this since high school. I took some heavy medication last night to get to sleep and try to relax the pain. It quit working by 3 AM. I was up the rest of the night.
This morning, my concerned mother, who was disgusted at the amount and type of medication I took last night, asked me if I wanted to make an appointment with my doctor today. My totally irrational dancer brain answered, "no way, Ray is in town tonight and tomorrow and I don't want him to tell me I can't go."
So what am I doing to ensure that I can go tonight? I packed my heating pad to take to work. I am leaning on it as I type. I will not move much today or spend any time off of it, other than my education commission meeting. As soon as I am done here. I am going to go rest horizontally at home, until the time comes to go to dance where I can damage myself further and repeat the whole process tomorrow.
Totally irrational, but totally worth it.

horrified and scared are better choices of words as far as what I was feeling....
I know how determined (stubborn) you are.
I only love you.
Break-o mistake-o.
Don't overdo it. It would be a shame to make yourself incapable of doing other important things in life, like picking up grandkids or something.
Good advice from your older brother.
I will not live in fear. Sorry. I have done that too much in the past. I will not do it now.
i think you're dad's right.
making decisions based on measured risk isn't always living in fear.
sometimes, it's just being wise. (proverbs 22:3)
that doesn't make it fun or easy...in fact, if often simply sucks for a while. =/
I wasn't saying to live in fear. I was saying to know your limits. Push those limits but not forever and not past the breaking point.
I know my limits. Just trust me to use the wisdom God gave me and use the talents He gave me as well. I don't need constant reminding. If I am not well, I don't dance. Simple as that.
wow. being a part of this conversation is probably about as fun as chewing ninja stars...
