Sorry, faithful readers (all... 3? of you? whatever!), for I have let you down during the past month. Lots has been going on, and I have sadly neglected to make any postings here on my lonely blog.[SIDEBAR: I had to explain what a blog was the other day to a family friend... that was a good time.]Anyways, I really do hope that everyone has been able to enjoy themselves during this snowy season - if it happens to snow where you live. Otherwise, I hope you have had good weather and been in good health. Now I'm sounding like one of the old ladies that I met at the hair salon the other day when I was down in Florida.
YES, I was lucky enough to be able to take a trip to Boca Raton, Florida, home of the "early-bird special" and crazy drivers. My mom treated my boyfriend and I to a few days down there, which was MUCH needed due to the craziness that he and I have experienced lately - not between us, but in all other aspects of life!
Of course work had been keeping me busy and from updating on this here bloggy blog, but then almost 2 weeks ago, I had a physical incident with one of my residents and have been on worker's comp. Everything/everyone was okay, and I bonked my head a few times and thought that my back was just a little sore from the stress of the situation. I was checked out by a doctor and sent home to rest, but when I returned to work and after a longgggg day on duty, I could tell that my back was actually worse than I had realized. Basically, I am going to be starting physical therapy on Jan. 2nd which I am looking forward to but at the same time am dreading!! I will hopefully be back on "light duty" which is just desk work soon, as it's hard to not be there.
At the same time as all of this (YES, and still having headaches - but they have been very mild, KNOCK ON WOOD/PLASTIC/HEAD/ETC.), we are in the process of moving. YEAH! I couldn't be more excited to get out of the building we're in right now. Too many issues (as noted in an entry from the summer where I had to CRY ACTUAL TEARS to get the carpet and linoleum replaced) and whatnot that I will not miss. My boyfriend got a new job, and we will be moving closer to his job and my commute won't be so bad anymore either. Of course though, packing with "back sprain/spasms" is not quite as easy as one may predict it could be, so I have been doing a lot of directing and list-writing and whatnot. My parents are being super nice and coming up with me tomorrow to help me pack the kitchen stuff and my stuff from the bedroom.
So, I feel badly that I haven't been catching up with all of my headache pals, but I really do hope that if you have been celebrating any holiday this month, I hope it was enjoyable. I also wish you a happy and healthy and headache-free/manageable new year!
