Devastation…

Friday night, TV Boy said, “Mom, you gotta look in my folder. There’s something important in there!” I asked him to bring it to me and I found an envelope with his full name printed neatly on the front. I opened it up as a large lump found it’s home on my throat. I was pretty nervous with anticipation! Inside were 2 blue sheets of paper. One was a letter from his teacher, Ms. B, which said she would be taking a leave of absence to seek medical treatment and proper recovery. Ms. B had been out quite a bit before Christmas with what we thought was just a virus. However, the letter didn’t indicate what was wrong.

The other letter was from his new teacher, who was the ISS teacher. I told TV Boy what the letters said and he screamed out, “NOOOOOOOO! She’s mean!!” I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it here, but Ms. B was ranked way up there in the teacher world by TV Boy! She ranks right up there with his Kindergarten teacher, who absolutely hung the moon in his eyes. So to see Ms. B go is quite devastating! We’ll see how it goes and I’ll keep you updated…

Ok, so WP 2.0 sounds great! But I’m scared to death to do it, because I’m afraid I’ll fark something up! For those that have updated let me know what you think and if there’s anything I should know. I’ve read the upgrading instructions here!

UpDaTeD—>After reading, this, I’ve decided to be patient and hold off. Still feel free to let me know what you think about WP 2.0. If anyone uses Fantastico, I’d love to hear if you had any problems, since that’s how my WP was installed. 🙂

1st Post of 2006!

Hope everyone survived the New Year’s festivities. 😀 I didn’t post yesterday, because I was so bummed about going back to work today. Yesterday, I got off to a *great* start (not following my goals) by having a fish fry. Mr. Mag fried out catfish, fries, and hush puppies. Yum!

Today I had to make the trek back to work. Not only was I bummed because going back to work is depressing and we’re having to work on a FEDERAL HOLIDAY, but I was going to miss the Auburn Bowl Game. Well, as it turns out we were able to leave at 12:30, which was nice. Although Auburn ended up losing to Wisconsin. 🙁

My Physical Therapy Appointment

I know you’re just dying to know how my PT appointment went yesterday! 😀 I went to a new PT today. Her name is Jill. I used to go to a place called Total Rehab, where they put through a series of exercises, traction, and deep tissue work. Jill said that she uses a different method to try and fix the pain. She went through and felt each disc in my neck and moved my head around to see where there are issues. Then, she said she would move each disc where there were problems and retrain them to move like they’re supposed to. We hope! So she did that and then she did an ultrasound on my next. Not to look at anything like you’d think, but rather to get heat into the muscles that a heating bad wouldn’t do. I go back next Wednesday.

Last night, I was in a lot of pain from all the manipulation, I guess. I didn’t sleep well at all and so I’m pretty tired today. My neck doesn’t hurt as bad as last night, but it doesn’t feel great either!

How Stupid Can I Be!!

I went to my first rehab appointment. Afterwards, I went to make my next appt. and they asked if I had met my deductible this year. Uh–no! So she’s like ok so you owe $100 and then 20% from here on out. Uh-no! THE END OF THE YEAR IS SATURDAY!!!!! So I’ll have to fricken pay $100 AGAIN next week when I go! AAAAAAAACK! I’m so peeved right now. Yes, I have money to throw away! Yep…that’s me! I’ll tell you about my appointment after I calm down. 😈
