For a fee, I'm happy to be your back door man

Jess and I were talking last night, and realized that our heat situation has killed our suspension of disbelief in "huddling for warmth" stories. Sure, definitely huddle for warmth, but then to segue to having sex? I have a hard time believing that you'd want to pull apart enough to do the deed. Sure, sex would warm you up, but that first few minutes would be brutal. Also, BGE better move their asses. I'm tired of being cold.

Last night, I was very cranky. It went on for a little while before I realized that my shoulders and neck were absolutely killing me. I'm rather good at checking out from my physical state, until it gets bad enough to make itself known. I think it comes from the days when I was in pain management--trying to wait as long as possible to take that pill, because you only had so many a month. I don't miss being treated like a drug seeker every month, but I do miss the occasional percocet when I'm really sore. Once the pandemic eases off a little (so no time soon) I want to go to a neuro and see if they'll give me trigger point injections. I also miss those.

We're supposed to get snow on Sunday. I am not a fan, though at least it's on a day when no one has to go out. I can sit in my office and watch the snow come down while I work. I thought about taking off on Sunday, but I can't do that every D&D weekend, or I'll have no time off at all. Plus, I'll probably be taking a couple days off when BGE comes in to do the meter, and when we get everything hooked up, so I want to save what I have.

2 days to D&D! 3 days to Monster of the Week. I'm very excited about both, and I wish the weekend would just get here already.

I'm much the same; I used to be very sensitive to what was going on in my body, but when I was undergoing chemo, I checked out, because everything was awful all the time, and now, with chronic pain, I've never fully checked back in, unless it's bad enough to rise against the general roar.

This is why "huddle for warmth" stories are usually with people who haven't banged yet, so they have that sexual tension/chemistry to overcome the un-fun part.

Fingers crossed BGE gets their butts out there soon!

It kind of sucks, because by the time the pain registers, it's usually bad enough that the ibuprofen is going to take forever to kick in, assuming it even touches it.

Here's hoping! We've started harassing them, so hopefully it'll be soon.

This seems to be a theme for the gaming group. My heat went out yesterday, too, with no word on when it shall return.
I hadn't planned on LARPing Icewind Dale....

Ugh. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, so you have my sympathy. We at least have some heaters--they don't do that much, but they help a little? I have one under my desk, so at least I'll be semi-warm while we play.
