I’m so happy that it’s March. March reminds me of spring. The spring equinox is coming up pretty quick. And even though we get snow in March, or we can, I still like it better than February! February is the most awful month for me. Bleh!

I wonder if jobs in New York are more plentiful in March. Or jobs in general. We really need more jobs in this country and a better economy. Our economy is too awful now, hopefully it’ll get better with spring!

It was awful. I was taking 3 Ibuprofen every four hours… I even learned how to spell that darn word. :p

I’m amazed at how well chiropractics work. I went for x-rays too, since they wanted to see, and I guess I’m pretty crooked and messed up. But after only two adjustments I’m already much better, yay!

I also had a massage yesterday. It hurt a bit, but in ways that I wanted and needed it. My muscles are so tight and awful… I better not try any long distance moving because that would probably make me so much worse! So I think if I get occasional massages that will help loosen me up too and get me back in shape.

So far so good!

Ugh. It’s been crackling and bothering me for probably a couple of years now.. and steadily getting worse. The MRI I had on it after my car accident in August of 08 didn’t show any damage at all. So I guess that’s good. But I don’t know what would be causing the pain. I crackle it too much during the day, I know that, but now it’s habit and I don’t know how to stop it.

So Yoga on Wednesday must have done something bad because since then it’s been hurting so bad it’s been affecting my mood and everything I’m doing. Yuck! I hate it. So today I am taking it very easy. Resting my neck on a heating pad all day to hope that it will feel better tomorrow.

Hopefully it won’t kill me so we won’t need any funeral planning… lol, but I don’t think it’s that serious. But I’m having a hard time concentrating on much of anything so I think maybe today I’ll knit and listen to my audio book.

I went last night. The first time after a couple-week break since I’ve been sick, and I didn’t want to go while I was sick. This was only my third time. I like it a lot. However, dangit, it’s a lot of work!

Last night was a Yoga’s Fundamentals Class. We worked on Plank, Lunge, and Warrior Two I think… it might have been Warrior One now I forgot. :) But man, my arms are really feeling it. So are my thighs. And last night I could not hold the postures for as long as anyone else in the class. So I had to drop down before anyone else did. Ugh! I’m kinda embarrassed, but with practice I hope I’ll get better.

Maybe I’ll buy one of their promotional bags, t-shirts or tank tops… I already bought a Yoga Mat. That the dogs thought was something fun to chew on. I hope my husband has saved it from them. :)

So I’m going to keep trying it and see if maybe I can build up some strength and find some peace!

I do think, however, that I really have a high tolerance for pain and discomfort. There should be a pain scale… I bet there is, but it’s hard to say “is it 1 or 10″ because everyone can interpret that scale differently.

I’m on the antibiotics still, Augmentin, just in case I do have an ear infection. Bleh. Those are some huge giant pills. Bigger than any weight loss diet pills I have seen.

So I still think I should rest and take it easy. I rested most of the weekend. And I think I can rest the next couple of weekends as well. Then I can, hopefully, heal up and get better!

I don’t think I’ll ever get one, since I don’t even have a Batchelor’s degree. I do have an Associates Degree and that’s really all I needed to get my programming job. But sometimes I think I should go back and advance my education a little bit.

I’d love to get a Masters of Science in Information Security. My focus has been information systems, which is similar. And going to an accredited, online school would be amazing! Lewis University is also a non-profit, which is another plus to their own resume.

Lewis University is extremely affordable, and also offers a flexible course schedule to help you on your way to your Master’s degree. Hmm… I wonder if I really need a Bachelor’s before I’d get a Masters? LOL I am sure I would! But it’s an idea to play around with!

Yuck! I don’t like it! They hurt more when I do agility which means for a lot of running. I need something to get rid of this joint pain! I hate it! I’m not sure what I should do, except maybe take some Glucosamine. That’ll probably help but I hate spending the money on it and then the pills are so huge, they are hard to take!

Maybe I need to look into it though. Bleh. My neck still hurts too. Maybe it’s all connected, I dunno, I’m tired of getting old. I guess it’ll get worse before it gets better though… :)

Bleh. This last week my left ear has not wanted to equalize at all. It won’t pop. It’s all stuffy. Well, today it’s better, but I went to the doctor and she gave me some antibiotics which I think is helping my poor ear. Ugh. I don’t think I’ve ever had an ear infection before.

Some good news is my weight is going down, even without any diet pills. I’ve finally cracked down and gotten serious about dropping the weight, so that’s good. It’s hard for me when I’m sick, I tend to want to eat junk, which is just bad. Oh well.

I guess not… but I can hope. It’s actually been really warm here. It rained this last weekend, but no snow. The mid-east is getting slammed with snow here in the States, but not us. We are having warmer than normal temperatures and no snow. And although I’m rather done with snow, I prefer it to mud right now. Bleh.

I just am waiting for summer. Where the grass is green, I can get out in the sun, not take adipex because I’m moving more on my own and burning my own calories.

I am just dreaming of summer…

I did agility last weekend, three days. I am feeling better than I did the prior weekend, as I had a nasty cold that really put me in bed for a few days. And, as usual, I can ignore not feeling good when I’m on my feet and playing with my dogs. :) But today I’m feeling it. I have a nasty headache, my ears are not equalized again which totally throws me off, and I’m dread tired. Bleh.

It’ll take me about three days to recover, it usually does. Still makes me think maybe I have Fibromyalgia or something weird like that. I hope not, but who knows. The doctors don’t seem to

Well, maybe all the activity will keep me young, so I don’t need much instant wrinkle remover, but I dunno about that. I just want to go back to sleep!
