The Nasty Tricks Life Pulls

Your Plan: Finish the review of the season finale, keep working on the new chapter, do some chores, sneak in some Civilization VI.

Life's Plan: Grow a boil on you, leave you in absolute agony for 90% of the day, then finally give you relief only when blood and puss is oozing out of you.

The Verdict: Life sucks, but it also wins every time.

I had a...something, I don't know what...at the base of my back for 3 days, right above my tailbone. Absolute agony to walk, stand, or really do anything other than lie on my stomach.

Then at work, someone for unrelated reasons and mostly as a joke, without knowing how much pain I had been in, kicked me in the ass and caused the whatever to pop. Worst pain of my life. I nearly blacked out. Also some blood and no small amount of pus. But funnily enough, within half an hour the pain was basically gone, I could walk again, and all it really ended up costing me was a pair of boxer shorts that I just threw out rather than bothering to try and wash.

My lesson from that...sometimes you really do just need a swift kick up the ass.

Ouch, that has to hurt! On the bright side, at least now you can do those plans without the boil bothering you.

Ugh, so sorry to hear that, dude. Boils suck. Especially if you have to lance it yourself.

[ROBOT B9]

Sorry to hear that. I've had to deal with it myself and it's always a goddamn pain.

sounds awful. Good luck with that.

And how does one sneak in Civ? It sneaks YOU in, with it's quiet whispers of "Just a few minutes. Just a couple more turns." That vile serpent that is Civ.

Oh, ouch! Hope you feel better.
