jennythereaderI spent this afternoon and evening at some friends' housewarming party. Their new place is quite nice, and I think will be even nicer after they're done with everything they have planned.
The party was... not bad. The first hour or so was a little uncomfortable, because there weren't a ton of people who I knew well there yet. That got better as the evening wore on.
What didn't get better were my knees. I spent too much time standing early in the evening, and by 8 or so I could barely stand up anymore. I made my goodbyes, hobbled to the car, and headed home.
It's a long drive even when I'm not in horrific pain, and it seemed even longer than usual tonight. I learned that Motrin does seem to work, but it takes about an hour to kick in. By the time I was home things had settled down to a dull burning which I think I'll be able to fall asleep with. At the worst point I was contemplating taking one of the Lortabs left over from when I had my gallbladder removed.
Sleep soon.
