I am a turtle neck....

Ditch day
Remember on Saved by the Bell when they had Senior Ditch Day and Zach was stuck in detention or something like that? I never had ditch day! I wish I did have that now though, cuz then I'd have more time to do my chores. It's funny how it takes a day off for me to be able to do some of the errands I need that I cannot seem to find time for during my "normal" schedule. I called in yesterday to get my neck checked out(to be explained in a little bit), and since they didn't have an opening until 3:30PM, I was able to do a few things I had on my To Do list. I finally did a few loads of laundry...I now have a full stock of clean undies...I was down to my boxer briefs and boxers, but no tightie whities, which I usually wear, he he he. I also got to start, cleaning my room. It's gonna be a long process..because it not only involves picking up here and there and organizing my bills, but also shredding the old bills to make room for the new ones, going through my closet to see what is going to be donated(either sending them to the PI or to GoodWill), reorganizing the closet, and putting some things into the garage. Speaking of which, I'm gonna need to get some boxes to pack that stuff away. Looks like another to do item. Anyway, I digress, I also got to go to Target to buy some things I needed. Hangers was one thing. For some odd reason, I am totally out of hangrs in my closet. Unfortunately, they don't seem to sell those regular ones anywhere now, but the T1's w/ the slot for hanging tanktops or something like that. I hate that my hangers aren't all the same. Also got some face moisturizer and some toilet paper. Even picked up London from school cuz Jos was stuck in traffic on the freeway. I got to do all this, PLUS my Dr's appt, and I was still home before 6, which is when I get OFF of work. I really wish I worked like 4/10 or something...I need that extra day. I could always just not do so much stuff w/ gf, family, and friends and cut out activities, but that's pretty much what I'm looking forward to do. If only I could cut work out of the whole thing w/o having to cut out the paycheck....

So the neck. My neck started really hurting Friday morning, and I thought it was because of the bball game Thurs night. I thought it might just go away in a few days, but when it was still hurting yesterday, I thought it would be best to call-in, and get it checked out. Better safe than sorry. Anyway, X-rays came back negative and the prognosis is that my neck muscles are in spasm. Apparently, he was able to pinpoint that the injury was only heightened by the hit I took during that basketball game. It came from my ab routines on the incline bench...apparently, doing full on situps on those things really puts a lot of stress on that area of the neck, and well, having done an ab workout that very afternoon and then getting hit, I was only asking for it to happen. So 3 Advils taken 3 times a day for the next few weeks should do the trick. Otherwise, it's back to the needle....so I'm hoping for the former....

It annoys me that there are people out there who are so insecure about their lives that they infect other people with insecurity, with the seemingly sole purpose of making themselves feel better. It's like they don't want other people to be happy, they would rather say things and try to stir up other people's lives so that they can feel better about themselves. It's frickin spineless and how much better is it to just handle your own freakin problem than to try to cause some for others? Man, face your own problems and grow the hell up.

You know what's funny in Alias? How Sid's dad always tries to do things for her that, in his mind, are protecting her from harm. But it always seems to end up that what he did to "protect" her actually ends up doing the harm, and that as the cliche so often goes, "Honesty is the best policy." I mean, yes, he actually does do some shady stuff, but I'm talking about the main theme here. It's interesting how an attempt at protection can cause more damage than it can do good. What one person might think as taking the high road, or being protective, can be received as being deceiptful and hiding things.
