It's my bedtime, and I just saw a TV listing for the movie Teenage Space Vampires. Why are all the "good" movies on after I go to sleep? *sigh*

Where? On TV? That would have been Men With Brooms. (Love this movie and try to watch it every time it's on.) On the big screen? That would have been Terminator: Salvation. (Good, but not as enjoyable as Star Trek: Reboot.)

As you can see, I'm still alive with no new trips to the ER. Enjoying my day off in the middle of the week. (I could get used to working a four-day week, but only if I still got paid for five days. hee)

In case anyone was wondering, I am still alive. Had a second visit to the ER yesterday, but I'm at work today because I'm all out of sick days.

Don't know how long I'll last at work, but I have training that should be relatively easy on my body. Will keep you updated.

- Called to make an appointment to have my gall bladder checked out. Go me.

- Haven't knit in a few days. Getting a little jittery.

- Only five people have signed up for my latest ficathon at oldschoolfic. More pimpage needed.

- Training for this week is over. Two more days next week.

- Tummy hurt after eating an apple danish this morning. Ate a sald for lunch and am fine.

- That is all. I now return you to your regularly scheduled lives.

I am slowly going crazy. 1-2-3-4-5-6 switch!

Crazy going slowly am I. 6-5-4-3-2-1 switch!

(No tummy troubles last night. Third day of training and I'm booooooooored.)

I am slowly going crazy. 1-2-3-4-5-6 switch!

Crazy going slowly am I. 6-5-4-3-2-1 switch!

Yes. Over the last few years I've become very interested in the Jewish faith. There's just something very comforting about the traditions and rules, which was lacking in my youth.

When I was growing up, our traditions consisted of Christmas Eve mass, a box of Turtles chocolates on Christmas day, and ordering Chinese food on New Year's Eve. Nothing to do with either culture (Mexican and Ukranian). We have never visited the graves of loved ones. We do not honor memories in any meaningful way.

I often wish there had been more.

Save my wifey! - said Lara.

Whoosh! - said the Party TARDIS.

Smoosh - said Mare's co-workers.

And they lived happily ever after.


Love ya wifey! *hugs*

Shanna Swendson, urban fantasy author, writes a lot about ... well, the process of writing. Today's topic is about how to Deal with the Downs; those times when you feel a complete hack, and terribly down about writing.

Check out here tips here. One read and you'll be hooked. (She's really v. good, both in her LJ and stories.)

Happy Birthday, phastasm13 and girl_theatre! *confetti*

May your year bring happiness, love, and peace of mind. *hugs*

Happiest of birthdays go to ksumnersmith. May this year bring you a co-operative muse, and less stress than ever before! *confetti*

slob_child wrote me a beautiful Firefly fic, set after the events in Serenity. It can be found here. And lyssie wrote me an awesome Terminator-verse story, set after the events in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. It can be found here. (dragonsinger, I think you'd really like this one!)

There are more great stories, with strong women as central characters. Go check them out! (Especially brightknightie's brilliant Buffy story. It's a two-parter, of which part one can be found here and part two can be found here.)

Just saw Wes Ramsey on Days of Our Lives. His long curly hair was pulled back in a loose pony tail, and he had a "gee golly" way of delivering his lines. Too funny.

So, in addition to my own visit to the chiropractor, Rob was also invited to come in for a free assessment. And apparently Rob is shorter on one side, or at least his right side is lower than his left. Well, that's just not right, so in spite of his apprehension he got his first adjustment.

HOLY CRAP!

When Rob was lying on his stomach, I could see the fact that his feet didn't line up. His left foot was a good inch shorter than his right foot. And then – right before my very eyes! – two adjustments to his back and zoom! that left foot literally shot out so that he was only off by a couple of millimetres.

HOLY CRAP!

Rob just couldn't get over how different he felt. Normally he favours his left side when standing, placing most of his weight on that side. After the adjustment he just kept repeating, "I'm standing straight!" *grin*

We got home and he immediately started contacting all his friends, to offer them free assessments. (Dr Brian wants us to put together a list of people we know, and he will contact them to schedule free assessments.) Now, considering the fact that x-rays are taken, assessments can run up to $150. So who doesn't want a free assessment, right?*

And I'm still feeling incredible. After only two adjustments, almost all my back pain is gone. But I'm not going to make the mistake that most people do and stop treatment once the symptoms are gone. Rob and I are in it for the long haul. We want the treatment that will stop the illnesses, fix the problem, and ensure things never get this bad again.




*If anyone in the GTA is interested, let me know and I will pass on your contact info to Dr Brian. Hell, if anyone outside of the GTA is interested, I'll see if I can get Dr Brian to hook you up in your area.
