Cleaning and Cracking
So! Today was my first chiropractor adjustment... gotta say, it's totally not like all the other times. This chiropractor doesn't believe in crackin' ya bones :) and I'm grateful. Of course, Instead, she slowly realigns things with a small machine that gives a very firm *tap-tap-tap!* sensation. It may sound like something that wouldn't be terrible... but have it going up every vertebra of your spine and... well.
So, according to my x-rays, one of the lower discs in my spine is leaning forward drastically, thus pinching a nerve... which is why I have severe back pain not to mention constant tenseness in my back. Also, my neck is a little more forward than it should be, and my jaw is slanted...so Dr. Lindsey is working on all of these things at once. She also said that I should put a cold pack on my lower back at least once a day to help with the tendernes...and I should sleep with a pillow under my knees. Trouble is... I actually don't have a spare pillow at the moment. Gotta say, after she adjusted me, I felt... strange. Not hurt or anything, just off. Or perhaps what was weird is that I got up feeling distinctly not-off, but when I tried to walk, I kept veering to the side and nearly smacking into walls -..- yeah.. so I was ... uh.. dissorented. Oh yeah, I was so disoriented, I actually forgot my purse there! I was so busy focusing on walking straight, I didn't even remember that I didn't have it! So, we called them up and said we'd swing by tomorrow to get it sometime =..= They were nice about it.
The doctor also gave me a book to read about reversing allergies... which would be awesome. It'd be great to visit with Reiko and not feel suffocated because of Chimera-bear :3 I wubs dat kitteh.
Speaking of Reiko, I haven't heard anything from her or Jim. I'm sure she's busy with recovery and thus keeping everyone else busy but... I expected to get something. I'ma have to call her tomorrow... there's just nothing else for it. I did get a very inappropriate text message one morning from her that had to do with the late Michael Jackson -..- Honestly...
Oh, also, today, I finally got the pictures from the Youth Lock-In up onto FaceBook (I know, I probably annoyed everyone who was following me on Twitter... assuming that that's a great number of people...). Anyway, I made it so "everyone" can see the pictures so, if you want to take a look at them, GO HERE. Comments are adored :)
Before ... when the day was starting... There was a great storm this morning. I mean, the wind made my house jiggle again. And the thunder! It was that ripping thunder that feels like it's in your back yard, tearing up your atmosphere :) I was still tired, and it was 8ish, and I know that I dozed off... unfortunately, I woke up more tired than I had been =..= Hate it when that happens. But, I made breakfast and then slowly started moving things about in the living room - tidying up and all. Then, I let Harvey (my Roomba vacuum) loose in the living room. While he was running, I would periodically venture into the kitchen to see what needed to be tended there. I put Sophie (my dishwasher) on and emptied her, and made sure the countertops were clean as well. So when Harvey finished with the living room (and had recharged and all), I put him to work in my kitchen. I was very happy to see that both living room and kitchen were clean today before I left for the chiropractor's.
When I got back, Alicia was already here. I made hotdogs real quick, with chili, and we each had two while we started watching the second disc of FuruBa. Dad popped over at one point to get himself and Mom a couple of hot dogs too, but over all we sat, ate and watched :) We didn't stop till we'd seen it all too. She's very tempted to buy it, but considering her financial situation, she really shouldn't. The girl actually gets a paycheck (albeit a small one) and she's worse off with her money than I am. Still... at least she can pay her own bills.
So, I haven't gotten any calls from the doctor's office I applied to. But I sent off a fax yesterday to answer an add in the paper. I also have heard that a local business is hiring... I'm just trying not to get discouraged. Oh well.
Hmmm. The second long post in the same week. I must be having a good enough time if I want to let everyone know all this stuff :3 But the pills are kicking in, and I still haven't showered. And I'm actually tired. Still, the day's been long and strange. I feel like I've earned my rest...even if parts of me still feel... off. I mean, I seriously feel fine, but when I try to do something I'm all wobbly and uncoordinated ... this is probably the closest I'll ever get to feeling drunk ^..^ Oh well. I'll write later, Sunshines :)
