I'm bad about this... which may also be a good thing.

So I keep being bad about updating this here blog. I just realized, however, that the reason for this may be because my head has been pretty decent to me during the past few weeks (!!!). This is especially a relief because of my current back injury/sprain/whatever they are calling it... if my head was also really being a jerk and causing me pain, I would really lose it. Lose what, I am not sure. It would certainly be lost, though.

Yesterday, I had an MRI for my back injury to see what the heck is goin' on in there... physical therapy and "taking it easy while still kinda working" hasn't been doing it, so I just kinda said, "okay, let's do this." When the technicians were asking me if I had ever had an MRI before, I laughed. Like, out loud. Like, LOL. Oh dear. Anyways, I told them that I had my share of MRIs and MRAs and CT-Scans and all that jazz for my headaches, so I was what one may call "an old pro." I then joked that since it had been a while since my last MRI of the head, maybe I could just slide into the MRI tube further once they were done looking at my back just so we could check out my head, just for kicks. I don't think that the technicians really realized I was joking, because they didn't laugh. Oops. I thought it was funny.

I also just had another headache doctor visit, which meant I had to sit on the train for 3.5-4ish hours back and forth... my back wasn't a huge fan of sitting for that long, but I survived. I just felt like my 93 year old great-aunt when I tried to stand up, was all. My doctor was really excited about my headache progress, and we're going to try a little medication tweaking. Hopefully that won't throw me off. Oh, and we talked about my sleep study results! I was expecting some kind of crazy results, but basically it just seems like I snored a little bit and didn't reach a very deep REM sleep. I already could predict the snoring - my boyfriend told me the night before that doctor visit that "Thomas the Tank engine came through during the night." Oops!! If the snoring wakes me/bothers me I can go back to the sleep study people to talk about options to fix it, but it doesn't affect me at all during the night... only poor boyfriend! Poor guy. I did sweetly remind him that we have a futon in the next room if he ever is bothered by the train... hehehe. I mean, I'm sorry sweetheart. My bad.

P.S. Had my first IKEA experience over the weekend... I needed a desk very badly, and neither of us had ever been. Boyfriend kept referring to IKEA as "lego land" because of the blue and yellow outside and the general box-y-ness (yeah, that's not a word!) of the building. I kept cracking up about the way we were all following the arrows on the floor so that people didn't walk into each other, and also about the random food that was offered in the cafeteria... a shrimp and egg sandwich for basically $2.99? Very interesting. My desk's name is Jonas, our shoerack's name is Fran, and the bookshelf that is giving us trouble which will probably have to be returned/exchanged is Flarke . I've been pestering Boyfriend and referring to those items by their Swedish product names; "Can you put my laptop back on Jonas when you're done? Thanks!"
P.P.S. "My Name is Jonas" is a song by Weezer, and is even one of the songs in Guitar Hero, which I also have a love for...
