Last night as I was heading up to bed it occurred to me that my arms didn’t hurt. At all. I could lift them over my head easily. I kept swinging in them in amazement!
This morning they are sore again but not as sore as they have been recently. Simon and I were discussing why that might be.
The first may be medicine. I took Migraleave yesterday for my headache. It is a combination of paracetamol, Codeine and something for nausea. It’s entirely possible the codeine killed my fibro pain. Too bad you can’t take codeine long term.
The second may be a lessening of stress. You see, our previous landlord had not returned our deposit in over a month, on top of my largest client writing my cheque wrong so money was very very tight for awhile, while I waited for the cheque to be reissued and then clear the bank, and I was in the middle of investigating our rights in terms of the deposit.
I had actually written a letter threatening the landlord with Small Claims Court that would have gone out Thursday, except I was home ill. Karmatically, the cheque from the landlord landed on our doorstep Thursday. That would have been a red faced phone call if I had made it to the post office!
In any event, our money issues have lessened thanks to my cheque clearing, the deposit showing up and Simon getting his pay on Thursday. Then, in a true Nearly Christmas Miracle, I got a letter from Revenue and Customs to tell me they owed me nearly £500 from an overpayment in 2005! Of course, if I owed it to them there’d probably be 6 years of interest on it, but I’ll let it go and receive my payment gratefully!
So whether my pain lessening is medical or circumstance, I think I’ll just enjoy it.
And perhaps try a Migraleave next time my arms are really, really bad.
Either that or rob a bank! 😉
Don’t you just love financial surprises like that? I once called a former landlord and shouted at him down the phone. He heard me out before saying “I’ve already transferred the money, have you checked your account this evening?”
I was very embarassed.
Wow, I have an A-level in English and never knew that ‘karmatically’ was actually a word! Will be nabbing it and using it a lot from now on.
