Whatsagoinon??
How's everyone's week going so far? Happy Hump Day! This has been a pretty crazy week for me so far. I'm batting 2/3 on injuries this week so far.
So last night I'm working on the ceiling in our guestroom. I needed H to squeeze some more caulk for me and he walked in the house (he was outside installing his new radio). I think "oh, run down and have him do it real fast". The next part is a blur. I remember coming off the ladder and the next thing I know I'm falling down our incredibly steep, carpeted stairs. I fell about 1/2 way down, finally stopping when I ping-ponged off the walls 4 times. I was so freaked out I was gonna break my neck. Luckily I'm just super sore, have some bruises, and about 5 patches of carpet burn on my arms/elbows. Those burn in the shower, fyi. hehe
Other than that, am very much looking forward to my eye exam on Thurs. I haven't had one in over 7 years and I'm also getting new glasses. I can't wait to be able to see again! Fri H & I are getting massages together which I desperately need. My shoulders take the brunt of my stress and they hurt pretty badly right now.
I hope that the work day goes by quickly today. I am ready to go home and try to get some more stuff done. Have a good Hump Day everyone!
Re: Whatsagoinon??
Ouch! Glad you're not hospitalized. I hope the bruising and bumps don't ruin your massage experience. I can see where it would be helpful in some ways, but I'd be afraid I'd be going 'ow, don't touch that bruise' the whole time.
I honestly thought I broke my left arm. When I finally stopped tumbling and realized what happened, it hurt sooo bad; not like anything I've ever felt before. I thought about the bruises w/ the massage; I hope they don't hurt, either. I'm a pretty tough girl but that sucked! The plethora of carpet burns are in such a crappy spot, too. H is always telling me "You have to be more careful, baby". Its a joke between us b/c I end up with the most random, ridiculous injuries and like last night, I have absolutely no idea how that happened!
O no! that sounds terrible!!! I hope ur okay! Thats y I let my DH do everything
. HAHA. I
My day is going okay I suppose its hump day so that means one day closer to Friday!
Happy Hump Day!! This week is going by pretty quickly, which I am thankful for! Tomorrow is my Friday because I am taking Friday off and the kid and I are flying out to Louisiana.
Yay! I am looking forward to getting out of dodge. The weather is supposed to be 72-75 degrees there this weekend! Woo hoo! Side note: I was going to rent a convertible because it is a mother/daughter weekend and it is supposed to be nice weather HOWEVER, apparently the town I am flying into doesn't have convertibles. Not one of the rental car companies (neither at the airport nor in town) "have convertibles in their fleet." How odd!! I even asked one of the guys I talked to if convertibles were illegal. He laughed at me. I find it so bizarre. Anywho, we will be getting a compact car now. 
I plan on getting home and getting some house stuff taken care of tonight, wish me luck!
@Lovely--Ouch!!! I hope you start healing soon and feel better than ever!
Ouch ouch ouch!!! That sounds like something I would do. I hope you heal quickly!! I'm sure massage therapists know how to work with/around bruises. You may need to reassure them that H doesn't beat you, though.
I'm a bit meh this week. I realized I miss H more than I thought I would. Last week wasn't so bad; I was so busy with work that I didn't have time to miss him. Plus, honestly, it was nice not feeling guilty about neglecting him with work/running, and being able to leave dishes in the sink without getting crap about it.
This week, though, I just want him here! He's my support and it's not the same just having him on the phone, and I'm going to continue to feel meh until I get him back again.
(He comes back Friday. Yay!)
And I'm in the injured club. The weekend off from running did me no good, not when we spent it WALKING all over the place. Running is just not happening at the moment and it takes a LOT of pain for me to say that! I'm on a strict regimen of aleve/ice/foam rolling in hopes that I can still do a 10k this weekend, but I'm going to the free injury clinic at the running store tomorrow (here's hoping - I have to extricate myself from a client's house early to make it there) and I'm prepared to do whatever they tell me.
Circuit training class was awesome this morning, though. I had to modify some of the exercises (NO plyometrics!) but most of them I could do without aggravating anything.
And my plan for the evening involves picking up some fish after work (I never cook it because H is allergic - so the fumes irritate him, and I feel bad eating it in front of him, as he used to love it) and enjoying a long post-dinner bath with a glass of chocolate wine. That oughta make some things better!
Oh no lovey that sounds awful. Glad you are ok.
My week has been pretty good. Trying to get settled in the new house and get some things done. Also been busy at work lately. DH's birthday is Friday so I am trying to plan that as well.
