Random Rambles

I really don't know what to write about tonight. I feel like today was an overload of posts, and I've already said everything.

It was a relaxing, but tiring weekend. I spent a quiet Friday night at home. Yesterday I slept in and lounged around until I finally decided I had to go to Walmart to get my oil changed. I ended up roaming the store and probably bought more stuff than I needed, but at least my van is ready to travel. 

Unfortunately, it did a number on my back. I've been hurting a lot this past week. My injections seem to have worn off already. I knew it was likely, but it's still be hard. I had a few days of VERY low pain and much better mobility. Then the pain started to slowly creep back. By this past Thursday the pain was back with a vengeance.

I even got a massage on Friday in hopes that it would help. It did for a few hours. With the pain has come even worse hip pain than I've had before, so that's been fun. I can't get into my orthopedic doctor until mid-December, but it's better than nothing. Not sure what the answer is, but if I have to live forever with these pain levels, that's really going to suck. It's really hard to not get depressed when the pain is higher. I guess my next move would be finding a pain management doctor.

Today was another day of resting. With in person church services cancelled, I slept in again and then got Daniel's birthday presents all wrapped and put under the tree. Haha! I wasn't planning on going anywhere, but about 2:00 I started getting dizzy, and I remembered I hadn't picked up my anxiety medicine, and I hadn't had any since Thursday. Got those in my system and took a drive. Had a cry. Prayed. And God even gave me a little nod by shining sunlight on me. Read my Facebook page Pocket Full of Sunflowers for the full story.

I'm hoping I sleep well tonight. The last 2 nights I've been up and down with weird dreams and 36 year old hot flashes. I can't sleep in much tomorrow because there's a certain birthday boy who is going to want to open his presents. 

I can't believe this kiddo turns 9 tomorrow. Stay tuned for his birthday letter post tomorrow night.
