Had to forego a McFly gig because my back's too bad. It's been hurting like a bitch since yesterday, but today hit a new one, could barely move and stand without wanting to cry. Took a scalding bath with muscle relaxants and it's better, but I'm in for a hard night, knowing how soft are our beds. Also, the gig was one of my birthday presents for
stjarna1984, and I can't even be there to see it with her and
theellibu :(.
In terms of writing, this weekend has also been a big fail. I have many things to write and ideas to write them but it's not enough, I can't actually put words down. I'm in a down phase that isn't helping, either - my hormones are getting balanced by making me all depressed for now. I'm not the best at dealing with it.
The only thing I've done some progress on recently is SCI!Steve. And I'm really not sure it's worth anything. Sigh, have a bit anyway.

Danny smiles, his fingers flexing over a bodyboard. “Hey, Steve. How you doing?”
“Alright. You’re thinking of taking up bodyboarding?”
“What? Oh, Lord no. It’s for my daughter. She’s adamant she wants to learn, and her mother gave her the green light, so I’m the last one resisting.”
“Doesn’t look like you’re resisting much, here.”
“No, it doesn’t, does it? Kono promised she’d teach her, and Grace is just too excited about it, I don’t have the heart to refuse her, you know? I’ll just have to be around to keep her from being eaten by sharks.” Danny looks forlorn for a second, making Steve raise an eyebrow.
“You don’t like the beach?”
Danny grimaces, looking out the window to the ocean. “Don’t like the beach.”
“Everybody likes the beach.”
“I like cities, you know? Skyscrapers, traffic, no jellyfish. I wouldn’t be here, save for -” Danny stops, makes a hand gesture in the air before him, like he’s got so much more to say, but can’t bring himself to. Steve doesn’t blame him.

Oh hon, I've had back problems from time to time (mine's a stress-induced muscle spasm that leaves me bent like a (painful) banana) so you have my sympathy :(
Hope it starts feeling better soon!
