I stayed home Friday for the snow. It wasn't terrible, but with the forecasters not being able to make up their mind about how much we were getting (and if any of it might be ice), I figured better safe than stuck at work trying to get home if it turned unexpectedly messy ( Read more... )

I saw a new family doctor on Friday because my physical therapy/chiro visits weren't helping my back spasms enough yet. My new doc is BF friendly (which I was worried about). She had x-rays done (and said to compliment my chiro for great work on adjustments) and then hesitated about any meds because the baby is only 2.5 months. She said if baby ( Read more... )

Boss confirmed yesterday that we will close the office for the last week of the year, so I will be off work from December 23rd until January 2nd ( Read more... )
