MAJOR pain

My life for the last week or so has involved being in MAJOR pain. Very limited range of motion in my neck and pain that would shoot down to my fingers and lower back. Today I had my first visit with an accupuncturist. She used accupuncture as well as cupping (1st photo-just an example from Google images) and a type of Chinese massage. The massage was the only part that was painful. I feel better but there is still work to be done. She told me that my body was spasming in lots of areas, which led to the intense pain of working it out during the massage. While I am still in pain, it's not like it was and I am so thankful! It's hard to do my job, which involves crawling around on the floor AND being in and out of the car all day AND carrying lots of heavy things, while in pain. There's a reason that this stuff has been around so long!

 

Another FAB breakfast at the Doo Wop Diner!

Craftiness

 

This was a clearance vinal place mat @ target for less than a dollar. I traced a bib that i had, cut it and sewed around the edge. It's just waiting for velcro @ the top. We have a bunch in my office and i'm going to swipe some.

Fresh Bread

 

 

 

 

Tonight I made bread (FROM SCRATCH!) for the 1st time!
1. Dough rising on the radiator
2. Kitchen staples
3. Right out of the oven
4. The first piece with some butter!

Yummy!

 

 

At home thanks to the weather. Actually it's easier driving today than yesterday. I was totally shocked to learn that our agency closed. Of course I didn't knew this until after spending 2 hours with a family this morning. Oh well, we had a great time playing. =)
Grilled cheese, cottage cheese and pineapple, and seltzer from my soda stream!

 

 

 

 

My job envolves driving most of the day. Here's a glimpse into what its been like.

Fabulousness

 

 

 

 

Celery + fresh ground honey peanut butter + dried cranberries = amazing goodness. I call them fire ants on a log. Totally recommend. =)

snow, snow, and more snow

It seems like it just never stops! Another snow storm. It snowed all day and tomorrow will be more with ice and freezing rain. Super. Here's a photo of downtown Boston today.
