Filling in the holes
School has taken a turn in the more serious direction. We've hit preterits and imperfect past tense in Spanish and once again, it's killing me. I'm so confused with learning all the new endings and then on top of that, all the stem changing verbs. Somehow, I'm managing to stay on top of it all and gradually, with lots of side studying, I'm making progress. My other classes are going well. I have a meeting today with my Linguistics professor to discuss my grade and final details, etc.I register for classes on the 9th, which is next Thursday. One of the classes that I want to get in to is write in only and I have to do an application for it along with a piece of my academic work.

Samhain
I saw a woman in my pharmacy today wearing an eight pointed star. I asked her politely what it stood for as she said the 8 holidays. It made me smile. My heart fluttered as I whispered to her, "Blessings to you." She smiled at me, knowing.I finished filling her prescription and before she left, she leaned in a bit and said, "Blessed Samhain to you as well." It made my arms get goose bumps. It was definitely the highlight of my night.This is the one holiday I always smile on. I always feel connected. I feel the tug of the full moon on my heart strings. I feel the want and the need to connect with the earth. In truth, I haven't been as open with my religion as I would

My Whiney Post
I'm doing this here and not on facebook because I know people are sick of seeing me complain via facebook.I hurt. I'm tired of hurting. Physical therapy kicked my butt today. Looks like I'll be living off Tylenol today. :(The silver lining is that I'm going out with 2 of my friends tonight so they can help me pick out Chris' birthday present. So it'll be nice to spend time with them and not dwell on my pain.

On Topics of Health
I guess part of this post is long overdue.Physical therapy started last Wednesday. It was rough, but worth it. My trainer is a great guy who's motivating me and encouraging me to help fix myself. Now that we know (we think we know) what the central problem is, we're correcting it. After he taught me the basic exercises that I'm now doing every night till Thanksgiving, he tapped my knee cap in place. I kept the tape on my knee for the duration of PT and all through work. I had little pain, other than my muscles yelling at me for some Tylenol. Only after I took the tape off and went to bed, did I start to feel pain in my knee. So far I'm having very little pain. The only time I ex

Physical Therapy
Today I start physical therapy. I'm not happy about this and am already bracing for the worst pain since I pulled the muscles in my back. I have copious amounts of Tylenol at hand. I'm refusing to take vicodin unless I can't bear the pain and I'm in tears. After the Monday night trip that left me feeling hungover on Tuesday, I've decided to stay away from hydrocodone. I have my gel filled knee brace ready to go for work tonight too. I've already told my pharmacist that I was sorry if I was in a crappy/ bitchy mood. Hopefully I'll come out with little pain and be able to make it through an entire night of work.Oh well, we'll see what happens.
