..and still no rest. I'm going crazy.

Music: The voice in my head telling me what I must accomplish before going back to work. I'm going to kill it.

I'm surprised at how well this week has turned out. It wasn't that I was being skeptical, but that  everything has happened like I pictured. Everything has gone well..with one exception. 

My 'driving' arm. 

I have been in pain these last few days. I've tried everything: resting it, exercising it, taking Aleve for the pain, and taking hot baths. The numbness in my middle finger has not gone away. At night, I have to elevate my arm so as not to put any pressure on it because it hurts so bad. If I switch sides, I have to wake up and take the pillow with me. Using the IcyHot helps, but only for a little bit, and my arm ends up feeling like it's on fire (not normal). This is the worst it's ever been, and I'm not sure if I'll make it through the weekend. 

I'm keeping all options open at the moment.....

Monday I took the day to rest, since everyone was busy, so I took that as a sign to do just that. I couldn't much else because of the pain. After running and grabbing a pizza for a late lunch (I blame James for that one), I jumped in the pool and just floated around. My legs were hurting like a bitch, too, even waking me up constantly that morning. I didn't use my arms, instead just kicked around the pool to loosen up the muscles in my legs. After another hot bath, the pain in my legs went away, and I'd be able to sleep, save for my damn arm. Two of my friends made my night, and made me forget about everything for a minute. James (ask and you shall receive) and John (okay, stop...I'm blushing now...seriously...). I'm disappointed that John still won't be home for a few more weeks. It will make it all worth it when he finally does come home.

Crap, even typing is uncomfortable right now....

Tuesday I woke up dreading what was to come, but ready to get it over with. My sister was due in, and she surprised us by bringing my two nephews. I hardly ever get to see them. We celebrated a late Father's Day, and went out to eat. We had to shoot right back home so I could make my appointment (I made it just in time). The official word was I had to have two fillings on the bottom and one on top, all on the left side. They weren't all that bad, and I was happy to hear that (less torture!) but still just the fact that I had them in the first place made me angry at myself. It took him an hour to do all three, and I was back at home. Everyone had jumped in the pool, but I was numb on one side and just wanted to sit for a minute and relax. I really wanted in with the family, and after a little bit, I threw on the swimsuit and jumped in, grabbed a float to stay above water, and watched everyone bat the ball back and forth, dodging when it would come my way. Everyone got out and headed in, and despite the fact that my mouth felt like it weighed 10 pounds and I couldn't talk right, I played Twister with the boys. Cole kicked my ass, but we all had a blast. 

My next step is now getting the two remaining wisdom teeth taken out. Three days of my vacation gone. My sis is even talking about us taking a trip out East to see my aunt, sometime next month. Wow, my vaca time will be used up in one month! I so very badly need a break at this point, though. To get things taken care of, and get ready for our holiday season at work. I'm feeling rushed already.

Tonight was my co-workers housewarming party. There was great food, great friends, and you guessed it, plenty of alcohol to go around. I had my share and was fine the rest of the night, drinking water in preparation for the weekend. Funny thing is, I swear I've been in that house before, a very long time ago when a friend of mine lived out there. I'm going to have to ask said friend about that. I've seen it before, and I'm not talking in a dream....I was really there.

I really hope I can make it through the weekend..there's going to have to be some major switching up going on if I'm going to survive. Pray for me, because Lord knows I'm sure as Hell going to be doing my fair share. Until next time.....
