Good evening All

Was pouring down rain and windy pretty much the better part of today. Yucky. We took a field trip to our local IKEA store thats not too far away. We traversed their store path - enjoyed a free Member’s coffee, and picked up a few small items. They have a few good cheap deals on some items. Can’t beat a free coffee.
Your new enclosure is so nice. I saw the pictures. You deserve that free coffee.

What a cool job... literally and figuratively:)
Whahaha. It can be very stressful, when it gets really busy, as then all sorts of deadlines come into play and there are never enough hours in the day to get everything done. sometimes I wish I had a job where I can go into work work from 8am to 16.30 and then go home and not worry about this being done or not done etc. But then I suppose I would be bored with that too. I ma thankful for what I have and this job can very interesting sometimes, it is just the times where I have nothing to do that I get driven up the wall with boredom. I shouldn't complain, as at least I have a job and money coming in every month.

IT IS FRIDAY!!!! Yayy. I have a busy weekend ahead, running shoe shopping for Jarrod, two kiddies birthday presents to get, one party to go to and a photo shoot for my Torts. The wind is pumping here, but the sun is shining.

I went to the doc, yesterday because for the last two to three/four months (I forget exactly how long - it always seems forever and time merges for me for these things) I have had a pain in my right upper arm. Every time I moved it in a backward direction I will get a sharp pain. I thought that maybe that because it might be a strain or tear or something, that it was not healing as I am right handed. But the doc said last night that it should not be taking that long to heal if it is a muscle injury. So he thinks that it is either a problem with my rotator cuff OR it could be a problem with my neck either a pinched nerve or spinal problems (seen as how I already have spinal problems at the lower part of my back). So he gave me a quarter zone injection. If the pain goes away with the injection then it is the rotator cuff which is the problem, if not then they have to do further tests to see if it is the spine or neck/pinched nerve which causing it. I am really hoping that it is the rotator cuff which is the issue and hopefully the injection helps and sorts out the problem. As I do not look forward to having to go through the whole process that I went through with my back. Besides being expensive, it probably also means that I will be having these sorts of problems for the rest of my life and having discs going bad on me. So please hold thumbs and think good thoughts that it is nothing serious.

Now that the bad news is done, I will give you the good news: IT IS FRIDAY!!;)

Everyone needs to complain once in a while even knowing you wouldn’t change a thing. That’s what makes us human! Sounds like your pretty motivated and just need plenty to stimulate your brain:)

Well, lets all hope that it’s nothing, not even your rotator cuff. Spine and neck and pinched nerves are never fun.
