lost, but not forgotten?
yes, i've been missing...maybe you noticed, maybe not.
the last week of my life has been very, very long, and not too much fun. it all started with last Sunday...
i was working, and i wanted to leave early. so i asked if i could since they've been trying to keep hours down. they said maybe, and i told them i really wanted to watch the steelers-colts game. so they said they'd try. then after lunch, my lower back started hurting really badly, but i couldn't try to leave because they would have thought i was lying (which i wasn't) just so i could leave early. i did eventually get to leave early. so i watched the game. it was exciting. i really wanted the Colts to win, but i think the Steelers played a great game. so now i'm for the Steelers - all the way!
however, back to my aching back. it kept gettin worse. i couldn't get up from sitting, i wasn't comfortable sitting, and i couldn't sleep. it got so bad on Monday night that my parents had to pull me up out of a chair because it hurt so bad for me to move. i should have gone to the emergency room, but i knew all they were gonna do was give me a pain shot and tell me to see my doctor. mom couldn't get me into the doctor on Tuesday, so we went on Wednesday. by then, it was actually a lot better, but it was still there. i found out i have sacroiliac joint arthritis on my left side. i was happy that they knew exactly what it was, but i was sad to know i have arthritis at my age. so i was given some medicine to take and permission off of work through the weekend. i have been off all week, and it has actually been kinda boring. i spent most of my days sitting in the chair with a pillow and heat pad on my back watching tv. there wasn't a lot i could do. i slept a lot, and i sleep a lot more due to my medicine. i got some great pain pills. i took a whole one, and i just sat in the chair frozen. my parents were laughing at me cuz they said i looked and acted stoned. so i may have to take the inflammatory medicine for the rest of my life, but hopefully not. we'll see how things go.

however, on to some better news. my new healthy eating plan is still going very well. i lost 4 lbs. in the first week. i was pretty excited because that was just with changing my eating habits and no exercise, so imagine what i could do if i started a healthy exercise plan too. i'm pretty proud of myself. :)

i miss school. i know i've graduated, but i miss sitting in class, doing homework, and stressing about school. maybe i'll become a professional student, lol.
