It has been almost 2 years, but one of my favorite sodas is back! That's right, Pepsi has brought back Mountain Dew Game Fuel. Jared bought me one today, and it is quite possibly one of the best things he has ever given me. It has a W.O.W. label now, but it smells and tastes the same as the Halo 3 days! They have a blue colored one too. Jared got that one for himself and I tried it, but it wasn't nearly as good as the regular reddish one. I can get past the ugly orc on the label because it is so freakin' delicious. I don't drink much soda anymore, but back when it was out, I had to start watching how much I drank because I kept wanting the deliciousness. It looks like I'll have to do the same once again, if we can find 12 packs at Shaws. They didn't have any at Market Basket. The resurgence of this long-lost product has given me hope that Kit Kat Bites may someday come back too. A girl can dream. In other news, Jared and I put in an application for an apartment where ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) tuberatn lives. We should hear back on Tuesday or Wednesday. While I'm not excited about living in Nashua, I am excited to finally be living with Jared. I hate it when he leaves. I have a tendency to mope. But! With any luck, those issues will be resolved soon :) Current Mood:  excited

I've been to occupational therapy a few times now, and I guess its helping. I haven't cried from the pain, but it's still there. For instance, the pain is uncomfortable right now in my arm and my left wrist, but I can deal. The therapist had requested 8-12 visits from my doctor, but they approved me for 24. I guess they think I'm that bad! haha I learned a few things from the therapy about myself though: 1. As Margie, my therapist said, I'm severely right handed. 2. My grip strength is still in the 50-75 percentile range. Imagine how strong I would be if I didn't have bad wrists and elbows! 3. I have really bad posture, which I'm slowly correcting. But I'm sorry, I can't sit straight for 8 hours at work. 4. I have a high tolerance for electric currents coursing through my arm. 5. I always knew I was oddly flexible, but it's weird having a medical professional confirm it. Work has been okay, better now that I'm not crying every few hours. We've had overtime the last couple weeks, but I haven't been able to work as much as I used to, due to the therapy appointments and Jared's work schedule. It's okay though. Working extra always makes me incredibly tired anyway. There was one day last weekend where I slept til 8:30 am! That's unheard of for me in my post college days. I mean, even today I woke up at 6:20 am. Summer movie season is upon us again. I make Jared a handy reference list of the movies he wants to see for the entire summer. Going through all the movies released each weekend made me see there is about A ZILLION chick flicks this summer. I probably won't get to see any of them though *sigh* We saw the Wolverine movie last weekend. And I pre-ordered our Star Trek IMAX tickets last week. We shall be seeing it tomorrow with blazepoet and yakavenger . Jared claims I'll like it, but I was never a big Star Trek fan. I've only seen one episode, and I was about 8 at the time. *shrugs* I'll probably like it more than the Terminator movie in a few weeks time. The only movies I'm looking forward to so far this summer is Up, Transformers, and, of course, Harry Potter. Seeing the other movies though makes Jared happy. And I like a happy Jared! I also like sad Jared, but trust me, happy Jared is always better. We're going to Foxwoods again for Jared's birthday this year. I have a few days off from work, so, while we won't have much to gamble with, it will still be nice to get away for a few days. P.S: What if this happened to Bruce Wayne?? http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php?id=4 31 Current Mood:  bored

I've been in so much pain lately. I've had tendinitis in my right wrist for many years. I've gone to the doctor for it a few times. I went last year when the wrist pain was unbearable. The doctor had me change the height of my chair at work and it helped. I could deal with the pain. In the past few weeks, the pain has increased so much. Since I fell down the stairs, my left wrist has been in pain more. And the pain in my right arm was no longer contained in my wrist/hand. It's going all the way up my arm and down my side. I cry at work when this happens. So, I went back to the doctor last week. He said that not only do I have tendonitis in my right wrist, but both my elbows are inflamed. He gave me these stretches to do and I have to go to therapy. I've been doing the stretches now for over a week. They are helping my wrist pain! It's making the pain in my wrist/hand back to managble levels. However, they are causing pain throughout my arm. In fact, when I've been at work, my left arm has hurt worse than my right, and my right is the one that is usually in the most pain. I think I preferred the pain just being contained to my wrist. I can deal with that and not cry all the time. But when it's both my arms and I can't find a position where there isn't pain, it makes the 8 hours at work unbelievably difficult. I just don't want to be in pain anymore. It's not just using a computer that causes me pain. Even reading a book hurts. I've decreased my home computer usage greatly, but even the hour or so I do use it causes me pain. I'm in pain right now. I'm wearing a wrist brace on my right wrist (I always do when using the computer), but my left is kinda twingy (I use a left brace at work when the twinging becomes constant), but my right elbow is killing me. I just don't understand. I have tendinitis so long, I don't even remember what it's like to use a computer and not have pain. Bah. In other, non-complaining news... There's been a bear in town (on the other side of town where I used to live) that's been wreaking havoc on people's bee hives. It's even been on the news! Uhh that's about it. Not much goes on in my life, you see. I did get a random computer lap desk in the mail from Barnes & Noble. I didn't order it, nor was I charged for it. So! If you had it sent to me, thanks!

I miss hanging out with meteorologists. There's something very depressing about an awesome storm shaping up and you have no one to gush over thermodynamic charts with. I mean, sure, math geeks are okay to an extent. They're always there for a good math pun. But I miss my weather geeks. I miss being able to talk about the weather and not have the other person's eyes glaze over. Most people when they mention the weather don't want to talk about it, they are just filling up silence. *sighs* Regardless, there was a bunch of snow! I took a snow day today. I don't really mind driving home in 1 inch or more per hour snow rates, but driving to work means I have to concentrate a whole lot more than I like to at 7 am. Jared, always worrying about my safety, also successively bribed me by saying he'd pay my state taxes if I happened to take a snow day today and get them done. That took up a few hours. Half of the time was spent trying to understand the stupid "you didn't pay enough money during the year find out your penalty" form. All that time, and my penalty came to a whopping $10. That hardly seems worth the effort. I would have paid $20 if I didn't have to waste the time. But I suppose it's not like I had anything else to do. In other news, I fell down the stairs on Wednesday. Normally, I'm very aware when I'm falling. This time, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. I'm not sure what scared me more, the disorientation from the fall or how scared/worried Jared's face was. My bumps on my arm are bruising. I was able to turn my body so I fell on my left side, not my right. I can't imagine how much more damage I would have inflicted on my poor right wrist. As it was, I caused my left wrist to be in way more pain that normal. And that's my good wrist! But its getting better. My feet don't hurt when I walk anymore, my lower back isn't in pain, and my leg no longer has a weird twinge when I stretch. So, woo! Healing! A few things to look forward to: 1. I'm visiting CT this weekend (weather permitting)! 2. Should be hanging out with Gabby later this month. and... 3. Come April 2, Jared and I will be together for 3 years. He's not sick of me yet! haha Current Mood:  calm

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours first. Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse. Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words.
