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. </p><p>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!</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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!</p>Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11576629637444934548noreply@blogger.com
