I am very happy to report that last night's shot went much, much better. We took care of business earlier and the mister wasn't nearly as grumpy. It make for no pain and, apparently, no interesting blog posts.
I'm also happy to report that I discovered a very important fact today: I am sooooooo much happier when I work 5-6 hours a day. It seriously makes a huge difference that I'm almost ashamed to admit. (Insert large exclamation of admiration for all you women that manage to cycle while working fulltime because this shit is hard. You all rock!) It also allowed me to get a few personal hygiene matters taken care of (no more unibrow for me) and make it to acupuncture on time. Oh, and I cooked a tasty and healthy dinner for the two of us (the mister and me, not my acupuncturist).
I only have a week and a half left before the big flight back east. I have three chiropractic appointments, two more acupuncture sessions, one blood-work run and two ultrasound + blood-work appointments. Oh and two company holiday parties and one anniversary to celebrate. And I'm hosting a meeting for my volunteer organization at my house next week. And a lovely visitor from SoCal is heading up here just before I leave for the Keystone State. I think I can do it all if I keep my hours down to 50-75%.
Wanna here the best news I got today? My very fave nurse scheduled my next two ultrasounds with Dr. Local himself. No more Dr Perky for me! I didn't even ask. It just worked out that way.
Sounds like a busy but fun time ahead. No more Perky is such a good thing!

Hey - email me with your dates - I'm going to be in the garden state around the holidays, and if we don't connect that way I may be able to meet you in the big city. Would LOVE to see you!!!!!
Glad that the shot was easier - may you have many painless shots for many months to come, if you know what I mean!

You sound busy, and happy, a good combination! :-)

I only work 5 hours a day, too, max. The other few hours I'm at work, I blog.
I consider it exra benefits.
