I have broken my ass.
I don’t mean I danced it off. I don’t mean I’ve been working it off. I don’t mean I’ve busted my butt to accomplish something. No metaphors here.
I have broken my ass. And I don’t know how.
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a persistent tailbone ache. If I sit a certain way, particularly when working at home on the computer, it’s mighty uncomfortable. I went to the movies this weekend, and had to keep shifting my weight. Driving my car has moments of twinge.
Now most people bruise their tailbones because they are doing something creative and naked, and something goes wrong (or very right, depending on your take of things). I can guarantee you that not only is this not the case in my situation, but that I can barely remember the last time my tailbone was actually in any real danger.
I have not fallen. I have not backed into anything. No one has tried to beat me senseless either with a 2x4, or with their wit in weeks.
Dee thinks I have a secret life. If I do, it’s news to me. Perhaps, my ass is having a better time than I realize. Although I do try to keep it with me as often as possible, so I’d like to think I’d notice something like that. Then again, I’ve been very distracted lately.
No, I think that I’ve sat on it for so long, that it has finally had enough. I have this visual of my ever expanding cheeks angrily trying to strangle my tailbone. Seriously, as they get bigger, they are actually growing inward. And now the tailbone is striking back! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that I’ve reached a stage in life where my bones are actually bruising from inactivity. Careful kids, sitting on the couch can be bum-deadly!
Swell. I was worried that it would take years to get to this level of decrepitude.
Now I have to figure out how to explain to work that rather than propping myself upright while feigning interest, I will spend the next few weeks supine. I’m sure people can just step over me.

Los Angeles-- Where Dating comes to Die. No one dates in Los Angeles. Ok, no one that isn't a supermodel or actress or 21 or blonde. But I haven't given up entirely-- at least not this week.

As I must stand by my rule that fermented beverages and computers don't mix, I must refrain from expounding on my "double life" theory...but Kate's Bum, if you're reading, we're still on for Bar Marmont!!
LMAO! My bum will totally meet you there. The rest of me just wants some ice cream and a nap. :)
Wow. I thought I'd gain weight sitting at a desk day in and day out, but never did I think I'd get injured. Thank you for giving me a (slightly unbelievable) excuse to quit my job! I'm sure I'll get some strange looks from HR, but at this point I don't really care.
Oh, and a tip: when you're watching TV at home, LAY DOWN on your couch. Can't bruise your butt that way, and it's sooo much more relaxing not to have to hold yourself upright. It's been working for me for years!
Considering recent posts on this blog, I can't help but wonder if this is related to some sort of bleaching accident.
danielletbd--
I think this blog should be listed as a public service announcement with all the helpful ways I have of getting people out of work! :)
You would not believe this, but I also got injured tonight just laying down. Seriously.
helen--
LMAO!!! No, this is more of an ache than a burn. ;)
LMAO ~ pun intended. You are such a tiny little thing that you're butt cheeks could spread and still not constitute anything large. I think you've got missing time on your hands.....they're stealing you when you're asleep and doing heaven's knows what. I think setting up the video with remote is in order.
