Hate you, leg muscles! HAAAAATE JOO!!

[candyland]

This is, what, the umpteenth time that I've been woken up at four o'clock in the morning by a muscle in my leg cramping up? GRR! This time it's my right leg, mid-calf. I swear I didn't even move this time, it just happened while I was lying there, half-awake. I vaguely remember curling up and pushing on the offending part of my leg...and the pain went away. Until I pulled my hand back. Then the hurtings came back D:

So now I'm half-limping, but it's already better than it was this morning, when I could barely put any weight on that leg. Once I'm up and walking around, I'll be fine soon enough. It's just annoying, ya know? And it keeps happening, and I don't know why!

Next couple of nights are going to be a little bit busy. I was wiped out yesterday, so I didn't go to the store. That was probably a mistake, if only because I really need laundry quarters. Maybe I'll bounce over there today, before the music banquet...I'll be gone for a good chunk of the evening, around dinnertime, for the banquet.

My parents gave me the second season of Numb3rs for Valentine's Day. I'm finally getting around to watching it XD I have all three seasons on DVD, and eagerly want more. I do love that show. The last episode I watched was really awesome--it involved a psychic, and...well, my complete and total adoration of any and all things supernatural is not a secret ^_~ But yeah--I hate math, and yet I love sitting there and letting them talk nerdy to me 8D

And on summerwrite...I broke twenty-five thousand words *faints* BROKE IT ALONG WITH MY BRAIN!!

It'd be kind of awesome if I could make 30K by Thursday, as Thursday marks the end of week two/the beginning of week three on the challenge. To achieve that, I'd have to crank out approximately 1666 words for the next three days. It's not impossible... *stares at various plunnies* I think I can do it~ But if not...oh well *shrug*

SUMMERWRITE STATUS:

Aww, sorry for your owwies, dear. Leg cramps are horrible, especially in the middle of the night when they always happen.

You should be the official summerwrite cheerleader, for reals! ^_^

I just wish I knew if there was a reason that it was happening, ya know? So if there was, I could do something to prevent it. Someone suggested dehydration...

Ehehe...more like I need cheerleaders XD lwyn has been keeping me on track and on task and up with my minimum word count every night. Probably the only reason I'm this far ahead.

how many times do I have to tell you not to say that about me... *glare*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I SPEAK ONLY THE TRUTH! *invokes glare!immunity*

Congratulations on the 25, 000 word break! I really hope your legs/back will be ok. It almost sounds like you need a chiropractor and those can be pricey. D:

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Thank you! \o/

I can't afford a chiropractor right now v_v Will just have to suffer through it, I suppose~ *shrug*

[lwyn.livejournal.com]

Leg cramping sucks. It could be stress or like you said dehydration or something :/ If you have time, I'd talk to your doctor, pain like that could be a blockage of some kind *has watched too many medical shows* ^^; I'm sure I'm over thinking XD

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

0.0 I really hope it's not a blockage... *whimpers* I dunno, these things happen *just* infrequently enough to keep it from being a major problem, but they're still happening a lot more than it ever has before v_v

Ack at cramps waking you up early :(! I've heard drinking a lot of water can help, sometimes? I hope they work themselves out soon...

But ACK (that's a good 'ack') at the sheer volume of writing you've managed in just two weeks! That's insane in the best possible way! Congratulations!

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Someone suggest that it was dehydration... :S But I usually drink a lot of Kool-Aid and stuff before bed, since that's when I'm at my computer working on stuff and I need to have something to drink...

Hee! Thank you! :D Might churn out a few more Layton fics in the course of this... \o/

Eat bananas!!

And yay on the summerwrite and DVD's to watch :3

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Most of the suggestions are either to drink fluids or eat bananas XD I appreciate the suggestions, though. Maybe I will look for bananas when I go to the store next.

Augh, leg and foot cramps happened to me a lot, and I'm now paranoid that they'll keep on happening. It freaking hurts X( But! I have learned that when I go to sleep, sleeping on my side for too long or in a position where I'm putting weight on top of a leg, is a no no, because it sort of... doesn't let the blood flow as well? So I tend to sleep on my stomach mostly la la la. I hope you stop having them 8(b

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

D:!! *hugs the m0ny* They do hurt!

Hmm...that's an interesting thought XD I do sleep on my side sometimes...but I know that on a couple of these nights when I've gotten 'em, I've been laying on my back...

*squish* Thanks~ :D

Maybe you pulled a tendon or a muscle or something... It happens to me sometimes, too...Bad circulation can also result in cramps... Uhm, drink some vitamins...and magnesium is also good for muscle cramps. *hugs*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure--it's a day later now, and there's a very small ache when I walk, but otherwise, it's okay now. Feels like a pulled muscle should hurt longer... :S

*hugs* Thanks, lady! *makes note to get some bananas* XD

[whitetigergp.livejournal.com]

Try eating bananas. I think your leg cramps are from a lack of potassium.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Awesome advice~ Thank you! :D

[spirit-sage-333.livejournal.com]

I think it's a lack of other important things. I can cure that if youll let me complete my evil plan! Also is there some slash about the ghost hunters im unaware of? :P

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

...I think I can go out on a limb and guess which Evil Plan you mean *laugh* And no, there's no slash. But it's fun to joke about it! :D That's pretty much the only reason I couldn't resist these two icons \o/

i used to get leg muscle cramps all the time too!! I suggest drinking more water (not kool-aid, the sugar defeats the purpose), and next time you're at a walmart, look in the vitamin supplement isle for potassium. That ended up being my problem. I dont like bananas, but I take a potassium vitamin every other day or so.
