Ok, my abs hurt.

At least I think it's my abs, although I'm starting to question that. I thought it was my abs Friday after a tough gym workout, and there was a little residual soreness. I thought it was my abs Saturday morning, when I tried to go to yoga class, and could barely even climb out of bed. I still thought it was my abs even yesterday, when I would forget about it for long stretches of time, and then go to stand up and experience the pain.

Today, I'm not quite sure. Normal gym soreness should really *not* last this long, and the pain is really centred a lot higher than usual - somewhere right under the breastbone, right around the ribs. I feel bruised, but there are no markings. It hurts to stand, to breathe, and definitely to move. I can't decide between trying to work it out, which is normally what I would do and which would mean going to dance class tonight, or assuming there's something more going on here, and waiting until it goes away, which could be ages, based on how long it's been so far.

I had a lovely time at the Chicklit book swap last night, despite my paranoia about heading into a room full of people I'd never met.  But starfishchick was there (and picked me and my books up, thank you again, hon), and I got to meet idella, which was great.  And everyone was wonderful - I met an archivist who had gone to school with someone who was working here when I started, so we swapped stories for a while about his sexcapades and general entertainment value.  Plus there was good food, Emmy red carpet mockery at the end of the evening, and, oh yeah, books.  Over 600 of them (Deborah counted), some good, and some very, very bad.  Oy.  But I did pick up a few.

( Books I've read and want to read again )

( Books I've attempted to read, but had to give up because they were too enormous and due back at the library, plus I wasn't entirely sure I was even enjoying them )

( Books by authors I've read, although I haven't read these particular books )

( Books I've been meaning to read )

( Books I picked up on a whim or because I was 'convinced' to take them home in order to get rid of more books )
