My LARP is, for all practical purposes, done.
Character sheets have been continuity-checked, mailed to players, and printed. Contingencies and items and abilities and badges have been printed. Bluesheets have been continuity-checked, and will be printed today. Props are all but one bought or made and sitting in a big box. We're almost completely ready.
And I have today off from work. I could, theoretically, spend the day actually tidying the house. Washing dishes, doing laundry, sweeping and vacuuming, and all that jazz. Or I could go to the bank and the library. Maybe do the grocery shopping that we need if we ever want to stop eating takeout. I could finish entering books into LibraryThing, pay bills, start working on learning the beadwork necessary for my next crafting project....
Or at least, I could if I weren't on strict bedrest for a serious back injury.
About a month ago, I slipped on the ice at a friend's party and wrenched my back. Being all smart and medically proficient and knowledgeable, I decided that the best way to deal with this was to ignore it and pretend it didn't happen. Over time, it started to feel better - until I decided to go back to my yoga class late last week, and apparently twisted something into a very, very, very bad place. Since then, standing has been difficult, sitting for more than ten minutes impossible, and almost everything has been excruciatingly painful.
Yesterday, the clinic I was working at took one look at the way I was moving and, as soon as there was an opening, marched me over to the chiropractor who works in the same office complex. She took some X-rays (which haven't been developed yet), poked me here and there until I could at least lie down with some vague comfort, and recommended that I spend as much time as humanly possible lying on my side pumped full of muscle relaxants.
So instead of being productive, I get to spend today lying down. At least I'll be too gorped from the meds to be bored..... I hope.
At least the game is more or less ready. With any luck, I'll be able to actually stand up through the whole thing.
