Stupid Tammy Tricks...

Whew... Another week gone. I'm so glad it's Friday again.

This has been one tough week. Because of what's going on with my boss and her husband, the end of the month progress reports and parent conferences, computer and network problems (also my job) and other worries, I've had one crazy busy week!!!

On top of that, I've been dealing with a back injury! A week ago I was running something outside to the garbage can. I turned around and tripped on the bottom step back into the house. At first, I just thought all I'd incurred were a badly scraped up, black and blue knee along with scraped up palms. Within a day or two, the back began hurting! I think I must have pulled it somehow trying to stop myself from falling. I've been using heat wraps, stretching, and taking ibuprofin since then.

I was beginning to feel better after a few days, but then on Tuesday, as I was cleaning out the fridge, I lifted a rack and ZOW!!!, there came the pain again. ...even worse than the first time. So I'm back to the heat, stretching, and ibuprofin every 4-6 hours again. :( It's difficult to work, but I can't seem to get comfortable anywhere, so work is as good a place as any to deal with it. I have very understanding coworkers and boss! The acting director (while the boss is dealing with her problems) brought in a stopclock/timer thing that they use here with the kids. She said I needed to set it for 45 minutes, then when it went off, get up and walk for a couple of minutes -- all day long. That actually helped a lot. Even after getting up at 45 minutes, I could feel my back stiffening up already, so I know that moving around helped a bit.

Anyway... Enough whining about me!! :P

I bought my ticket last week for my yearly trip to Indiana to visit my family for Spring Break!! That will be in the middle of March. I'm pretty happy about that! :D

OK, talk amongst yourselves while I get to work and get ready for a restful weekend afterwards!! May you all have a restful, happy, fun-filled weekend!!
