a day.
its been a day.
i actually have something what insurance would call physically wrong with me! i don't have to take any drugs.. well, i could take some ibuprofen, but when my dr suggested that i said "NO MORE DRUGS!!!" i've got a repetitive stress injury in my left shoulder. caused by? my cellphone? my backpack? typing? who knows.. all i know is that it hurts not all the time and i have full range of motion. it mainly hurts when i drive, sometimes when i type.. occasionally when i'm in bed. *and* its not psychosomatic.. its been confirmed by *2* different kinds of professionals. an lmt and an md! unfortunately both have had to hurt me while dealing with it, and with the md i was not relaxed on a table with nice smells and nice music playing so that i could relax through the pain. but its not a big deal. and the prescription is to strengthen my rhombiods (back muscles), and stretch them too. also, to ice my shoulder. and, though she didn't say it, to continue with the massage therapy. it was interesting to look at dear dr c's (see, i give her a hard time when i'm at her office, and i'm not sure how much she believes me that i do adore her as much as i do, so i'll be referring to her as "dear dr. c" more than usual these days) muscle book and which muscles that are bothering me.
tommorrow -- tuesday -- is an hour long orientation at the relief nursery, and then over for a visit with c and r, who i haven't seen in forever. wed is my first shift with the babies. concerned about the shoulder, and the weakness that has continued to follow me. not sure how i'll be able to do it, holding those babies.. but its 3 hours, and i'll pull it off some how. i can't wait. i'm a bit nervous. i'm used to being on my own and / or the lead.. i'm not used to being an assistant. i'm going to tell the lead teacher and that if i cross any boundaries that i shouldn't, to let me know. but i shouldn't have to worry as this will be my first experience with children at risk, and i don't know much about them. i just want to love them and help them.
wednesday ends with a massage. one thing i *can* say is that i have successfully turned *yet* another person on to alix olson. and she's only heard half the cd :) now, if only she'll get to carolyn gage. i'm a bit more interested about what she'll think about carolyn gage than alix olson... cause everyone seems to adore alix. but carolyn, no one has read her.. for some reason its easier to turn people on to sound than word. but i'm also about to send carolyn off to two others who i hope will appreciate her at least half as much as i do. i know there are a lot of people out there who appreciate carolyn, just not enough in my circle of people.
oh, and one last thing.. i might be taking on a small web project for someone interesting. for me it really is the subject matter. give me boring subject matter and my passion for the work goes out the window. so, i'm excited about it. actually, i might be taking on two projects if i can convince the other person to let me. i've told her i've got the design in my head and that it could help her out if its all done properly and such. so.. two easy small projects, subject matter that i enjoy a lot, always helps the mood. and the greatest thing is that through both or just the one, i'll be able to give back to someone who has given me so much.
and on that note, its bedtime, or attempted bed time.
btw, i'm tired of 9-11.
