i realized today that i buy clothes i love, then never wear them because i am saving them for just the 'right' function. not that i've bought anything recently. but i wore a shirt today i don't like all that much because i didn't want to waste the shirt i love on work, where there is no one to impress. the 'shirt i love' was purchased about two and a half months ago.

as mentioned previously, my neck pain last week drove me to a chiropractor--a profession i am generally skeptical of. a slew of tests and x-rays were done (though i still don't have the results), and i learned that my body has issues. but, after three visits/adjustments at $60 a pop, my neck wasn't feeling any better. granted, the sharp writhing pain from turning my neck went away, but it was replaced with an achey stiffness that even further limited my range of motion.
after returning to work on friday and telling a co-worker about the visit, another co-worker overheard and came to ask the name of my doctor. i told her, and her response was "i had this sick feeling you were going to say that. i used to go to him and had an awful experience." mostly that awful experience seemed to be money related, but that was enough to send me running. as i mentioned, i'm sort of skeptical of the chiro doctors anyway. everyone i've ever known who used them frequented their offices so much i'd consider it a sort of addiction. at the same time. my neck still hurt.
i did a little more digging and one of my mormon colleagues, who also lives in huntington gave me the name of and extremely high praise for a doctor here in hb. his first comment was that he was really honest, so i was willing to try it.
i had my first appointment yesterday, and already the difference is significant. the other appointments weren't 'bad.' they weren't making it worse. they just weren't making it better. at all.
the previous doctor adjusted only my neck. 'dr. john' adjusted my upper and lower back, my hip, AND my neck. and of course his wife was there with their totally cute and lovable dog. and now i feel better:)
not 100%, but much much better.
i honestly think zicam nasal swabs are the best cold-stoppers ever.
once again, my astrologyzone.com horoscope is pretty dead on. i seriously love that site. the most appropriate for the month of march seems to be....
You do still have Saturn on your Sun, which means you are handling more responsibility than ever. You may have taken on a new position or started a new business, moved cross-country, got married, had your first baby, or purchased your first house. Something about what you are doing is so new that there will be lots to learn. Every day is new - and exhausting.

I injured my back reeeeally badly last summer and was seeing a chiropracter 3 times a week for 8 weeks. He really helped but he was also like my therapist because of that confidentiality thing and I was living with my in-laws at the time. Bless him.
My mother in law goes to see a chiropracter every couple of months and I think it's stupid. She doesn't go to see a dentist but she goes to see a chiropracter. I asked him if a lot of people did that and he said, "yes". I do think it's an addiction for some people. Personally I find nothing fun about it and avoid it as much as possible. He's probably glad because I scare away his other patients by crying and screaming when he uses the spine puncher on me... You can read ALL about that on my blog from around May - July 07.
I hope your neck feels better soon.
fun post - thanks!!
*gulp* did you say..spine puncher??
