Miscellany
1) Back - doing okay. Did some stuff today that made it tired and achy, but not too bad. Haven't had any more horrible aches. Good!
2) Abby (dog) - bought flea stuff and a clipper set and went to town on her this evening (thus the back issue above). You can tell it's my first time trimming her, but it'll be so much more effective to give her a flea bath now without all that hair to hide in! We're doing a full-on attack on those bastards over the next week or so. First step was trimming her, then she'll get a bath and Chloe (cat) will get sprayed w/direct flea spray, then we'll do a good vacuum everywhere in the house, then Tom will spray all the surfaces w/anti-flea stuff, then they'll both get the back of the neck flea stuff. Let's kill us some fleas, dammit! I'm tired of my babies suffering!
3) Productivity - not so much, but I'm trying not to feel too guilty 'cause of the back crap.
4) Plans:
- Fitness/Health/Activity - June 24th is my follow-up appt w/both the pain center and my regular doctor. If all is well at that point, I'll go back to physical therapy to start strengthening my core again, THEN I'll start exercising again (according to what the PT approves). Yay!
- Studying/Work/School - Tomorrow, I'll finishing correcting my electronic copies of practice reports from this lesson, then start the Mail-Ins (which they've told me I'll be grading w/an answer sheet, so I know what to expect) - I'm hoping to finish those by mid-to-late next week. When I finish this Lesson, I'll be MORE than halfway through the last course - I'm on Lesson 6 of 10 Lessons in this Course, and this is the last Course. WooHoo! I'm HOPING to get a job this summer doing medical transcription for SOMEbody (local, hopefully), and then start SCHOOL in the fall to get my Elementary Education degree. I can't wait to start studying something I actually WANT to do! :)
Okay, that's enough for now. I need to get out of this hot office and away from this sitting position - my back's not too happy w/it.
Hope everybody's having a good week, and come on, Friday!! :)
