The Good and the Bad

The bad first...because bad is never fun. My back is KILLING me. I don't know why. I imagine it is because of the sudden coldness is settling into my bones. I had back surgery when I was 16 and from time to time I have issues with muscle cramping and stiffness. It's never fun. But if I remember correctly it's usually this time of year. But it makes me walk like this / . Literally, I walk with my body crooked. I don't know why, its the muscles reactions to my back hurting, but I look retarded. Sooooo-- in a few minutes--when my employee comes back from lunch, I am leaving to go home. I am going to go home, take a muscle relaxer, and put on my handy dandy, make me feel better machine.


I just hook the electrodes on my back, and in a day or two, I should be feeling much better. That little beauty works wonders for my back or neck or any muscles that are giving me a fit! It has really helped since I bought it!

Today, I also have an eye doctor appointment! I am really excited! I got into a car accident shortly after I got home from my honeymoon. I know, I know. March was really a GREAT month in the beginning, the latter, probably one of the worsts. Anyway in the course of rolling (I promise I'll tell that story too one day) I lost my glasses. And subsequently have not seen well in quite a few months. So today, I am going for my appointment! JC Penney optical (I know what you are thinking JC Penney vision? That's right, I got a killer deal) is giving me the eye appointment for free and 40% off of frames and lenses! Yay! And no, I don't like contacts much. They really bother my eyes and yes, I did try and wear them for about nine months before I gave up on them.

And last, but absolutely the greatest!!...I was looking around my reader in all of my back misery and I came upon a post from Mamasphere with all kinds of awards! And one of them was for ME! Little ol' me! My very FIRST award! I could not be more excited!!!
