Ooops

Okay, it's been a while. 6 whole days. Not that I haven't thought about writing something. Really, I totally have. On several occassions. But alas, fatigue gets the better.

So, here it is, June 18 - can you believe the year is half over?? It was JUST New Year's! Sheesh.

I had re-exam #3 with Active Life yesterday. It's been a painful month, so naturally I thought there wouldn't be much improvement. Turns out, pain is actually a good indicator that things are getting better! Yay! Who knew?

Results: weight differential left to right - even. hips - even. shoulders - even. range of motions - all passes. posture - huge leap forward - getting much better. My neck is still crooked, so over the next month, we're going to do what sounds like a very painful procedure a handful of times to correct that. Not looking forward to that! haha

Overall - it's been a decent week. I worked all my scheduled days, not leaving early once till today. The job was just too much today. I've been relaxing in the bed all day, giving my back a break from doing anything. It's working - no pain! yay! Now it's time to get up and do a few things around the apartment before bedtime. And call my mom.

Here are a couple pics: One is a bed I made at The Palazzo - it turned out so pretty and perfect I just had to take a picture of it! The other is of a book I just finished reading - great story!

The Odd Joys of Living Alone

Here I sit, trying to make a grocery list. This list is a little different than usual for 2 reasons:

1. I'm trying to be more mindful of waste, therefore trying to make a "conservative" list. I want a variety, but do not want to waste food like I've been doing for so long.
2. Even in trying to be mindful of waste, it just dawned on me that for the first time in 6 years, the entire refrigerator is MINE. I don't have to share fridge space with ANYONE. That is: Seriously. Weird.

I've been in this place for 6 nights. And I'm coming to the conclusion that I do not want a roommate. I like having the space. I like being spread out. I like not having to be 100% fully dressed at all times in case someone else walks through the common area. I like not having to close the bathroom door when I pee thank you very much! Sheesh! :o)

(See? I wasn't kidding when I titled this "Odd...")

Yup. It's fun. And refreshing. And an incredible adventure I'm enjoying, and looking forward to more of! Yay!
