Ah, Summer. You have returned to claim us again.
It is still warm, but not insanely hot like it has been for the past three days. Seems kinda hilarious actually that it was so painfully, recordbreakingly hot for the last three days of Spring, and now it has dropped about ten degrees. Not that I'm complaining. Oh now, this weather is delightful and can stay or even continue to drop as far as I am concerned. I'm better in cooler weather anyway.
But God's got this. The weather is delightful. The sunshine is making everything feel glorious and the breeze makes everything seem worthwhile. The flowers are blooming, my brothers are working on a variety of things like resumes and thank you notes, and I am contemplating life in general. I should probably be making a return phone call to the wonderful guy that called me earlier, but a friend of mine is supposed to be stopping by soon to show me a new project she has taken on and I want to make sure I am fully present. I want to make sure my friend gets my best when I talk to him too, so that phone call will probably have to wait till tomorrow as both our schedules look to be filled for the evening. At least that gives me something to look forward to (and be, for reasons I can't list, ridiculously nervous about..ha) for tomorrow.
Tomorrow will also hold yet another chiropractic appointment. Hopefully after it I will not find myself wanting to cry for several hours which is typically the case, but I will say this, each of those appointments has made me feel a little better and made me a little more cheerful.
I did actually finally hear back from Dar at the office. I emailed her yesterday to explain my situation after trying yet again to call the office and talk to her or Marc without success. She emailed me back right away. She really put my mind at ease. Dar told me to make sure that I listen to my doctor and not push myself. I am not to rush back to the office, but instead to make sure I am healing really well first. You gotta appreciate that. Now I just need to finish healing up and head back to work. I am planning to return to work Monday. Yes, this means I am down nearly two full weeks worth of pay, but if it keeps me from being in horrible pain because I am pushing myself too hard...I'll take it.
I also begin house-sitting tomorrow night. I may take Joel and/or Forrest with me tomorrow night just to be on the safe side, but we'll see. I may be doing fine on my own by tomorrow night. I hope so. I could use some time alone, as well as some time believing I am actually capable of taking care of myself again. Plus, I just taking care of this house for my friends. One of the best gigs you could ever have, and it gives me a little time to feel like an adult again.
Well, now I should probably sign off, but I shall leave you with a long overdue list.
