One More Day
Thank you, wonderful friends for your encouragement. I saw a doctor yesterday, and got a powerful antiinflamatory injection which gave relief. (toradol-- they use it after surgery, and the great thing it is not a narcotic, so I stay alert, but relieved of pain) I was worried about the leg pain being a clot (DVT) but was told it was just the sciatica.

Stress is high at work Kitsune, CosmicSailor, and Yensid you hit it on the head! I was so hoping a new job in a growing department would do the trick, but no go.---
So I have had one bad case of the sour grapes and grumps. Big M and I have been apart for a bit due to jobs, but I felt I was going to get that on. Well, I'll still work on the house, but I am going to start to think about making changes I like (after all, I live there full time-- not sure how long because I am on the waiting list for Chicago supposedly 6-12 mos.
The Bolsa Chika bird sanctuary is not too far from the house, so during the holiday, I may take a day, pack sandwiches, and do some photography, or consider going to the craziest place on Earth-- Venice Beach! I have not been to the desert in a long time, but that's a trip where it is a good idea to bring someone else. Big M is in Chicago and this makes it hard (can't fly as often as I want-- money ... and driving that long takes too much time, I don't have that much)

So, I guess I'll see how the weekend goes, Maybe I can find someone who does massage near the house because that would probably be helpful. Meanwhile, tomorrow I'll sit in warm water, and set up the DVD player far away and watch some anime.

What are you all doing for Memorial Day? How are things going in your neck of the woods? Anyone coming to AX? I'll get somethings down to Goodwill-- I was able to take some light knick knacks, and then find a painter for the house. I like to do things myself, so I might go down to Home Depot this weekend to see if they are teaching something, like laying tile so something. Do you like to work with your hands" What do you like to do? I might also see if I can read more about computer graphics and try to color a sketch I did.

Hoping this weekend is terrific for everyone. If I go to a park, I think I am going to bring a body pillow to lay on. You all are so super--- want to share some photos today (still have to upload more) May you have a great holiday weekend!
