It's true what they say about Karma; you do good, you get good back, do bad, and it comes back even worse. I'd made one of the best decisions I'd ever made since becoming a QA (this week marks a year, the longest time I've held a position within the warehouse), and because of it, the unloader got such high remarks, even a handshake from his manager. Amongst all the negativity I'm always hearing about this or that, it's amazing to see something positive, especially in person. So, thank you John for my awesome surprise last night. I wasn't expecting to get an Apollo, I love it. :)

I've been quite busy these last few weeks. From apartment hunting to balancing time with John and work and pains that life just loves to throw at me. I don't know how I've managed to keep my sanity this long.

Apartment hunting was a success, and I've got my sights set on one in particular. The price is great, it's centrally located, nice, open floor plan, and close(r) to the warehouse. My gas bill will be cut in half.........YES! I am excited to get out on my own, and will have to really learn one of life's hardest lessons: saving money. John and I will have to come up with a system that will split our driving up; I won't be able to always be the one driving to see the other anymore. I'm looking to move in in September, unless something changes.

The pain I was referring to is literally that: pain. I've had bouts with arthritis before, as my mom had it when she was 16, so naturally, at 16, it started in my left arm. As I got older, I was officially diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel. Okay, fine, I can live with that. Fast forward to the day I got the hauling position. After 10 months of constant strain and compression, I pinched a nerve in my left arm, making my life an annoying Hell. I lost feeling in my fingers, and writing became painful at times. Two weeks ago, I lost feeling in my right fingers. *scratching head* Okay, who can explain that one? I've had no trauma/compression to that hand or wrist, no 10-month hauling damage done. Just this weekend, my hands and wrists hurt so bad, I could barely work. I'm popping Ibuprofen like an addict. Never before have I had such pain. It's something I don't want to have at only 30 years old. I'm going to see the doctor and hopefully he can tell me what's going on.

On a positive note, it's that time of year again...vacation time! Getting excited about time off from work and no stress! Already making plans, and I can't wait.

Off to the doctor I go.....hopefully I'll live. :P
