Oh no...heavens, NOTHING like what was going on Last Year at this time!
I fell down the stairs today.
Fortunately not all 13 of them. Only about the bottom 1/2...ouch. And unlike a seasoned faller who would know to not to fight the feeling, I reached out, grabbed the banister and promptly twisted my body into landing in a contorted heap at the base of the steps.
And they were the indoor, not the outdoor, steps, so it was all my doing and not to be blamed on some random showing of ice.
I somehow managed to drive myself to the chiropractor, where for the second time in two weeks he had me in tears popping me into place. But I am prescribed ice therapy, "as much as I can" tonight as my left shoulder and the base of my neck is completely swollen (dude, no wonder it hurts so bad!) and to, um, 'pop' back in tomorrow so he can torture me a bit more into place.
So I will sit and give thanks for laptops as my neck ices and I plan the rest of the week's classes.
Side note updates:
My weekend away to Georgia was lovely. My girlfriend and I had not seen each other in about 4 years, and we desperately needed some catch-up time. Watched some old movies, one newer flick and did some shopping. Swapped class ideas and voila! We could have technically written that weekend off for taxes.
My mother is up to old antics again. The Christmas Letter included a lovely guilt trip blatantly directed at this Mama Llama about what a crappy daughter I am to keep her grandchildren at such a distance. She has also rejected the name that my daughter, the first grandchild of the family, gave to her. My sister and her husband are angry with her about this as well, and it makes it very hard to even make the efforts to pick up the phone. I'm getting tired of it. I guess the webcam I bought her for Christmas went over like a lead balloon. Can't say I don't make an effort. I just need to smart up and stop making the efforts...
...if she weren't my mother, it would be so easy.
As far as my Rocking Resolution list goes, I am doing well so far. Granted, we're only a week into the New Year, but still...
And with that I go back to the ice.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your fall. I hope you're better soon.
ResponderEliminarChristmas guilt is for the birds. Live your life as you know best, and don't sweat it. Only you know all you have been through. No one else has walked your shoes. Don't feel judged.
Oh, and Happy New Year!!
Sorry to hear about your injuries. I did that once myself and broke my foot.
ResponderEliminarGlad to have you back from your vacation. Hope you heal quickly!
Ouch!
ResponderEliminarRon recommends Margaritas to help ease the pain...

ResponderEliminarThis is when we REALLY need each other, isn't it?
((gentle hugs))
Yikes! I'm so sorryaboutthe fall. But glad for your time with your friend. And the ugly things I'm thinking about your mother's letter I'll keep to myself.
ResponderEliminarMy chiropractor has popped me into shape two days in a row, and will be seeing me at least once more this week. I did a doozie but I'm in good hands. Feeling better, and thanks for the well-wishes!
