Interesting medical diagnosis today

I've been having problems with my arm/hand the last 48 hours or so. It's been numb and tingly, and generally annoying. So I went to the dr tonight and apparently I'm having a minor episode of carpal tunnel syndrome. I saw a new doctor instead of my usual doctor. Since I wanted to make sure it wasnt anything really serious, I didnt want to wait for next week, which was when I'd have gotten into see my usual doc. The doc I saw tonight was nice, and told me the things to watch out for that would tell me it wasnt carpal tunnel. It was nice to have a doc that didnt make me feel like he was patting me on the head and sending me on my way. This doc answered my questions and told me the symptoms that would indicate a serious problem.

Here I am, crying again

What is up with me and watching movies that make me cry? Im watching the end of A Walk to Remember, and of course it makes me cry every time too, not quite as much though as in Ladder 49. I don't bawl buckets for this movie.

The end of this movie makes me cry every time

Im watching the end of Ladder 49, and the damn movie makes me cry every time! Without fail, I cry at the end.

High School Musical

Alright, so I'd caught bits and pieces of High School Musical on the Disney channel over the last several weeks and really liked what I saw. So I bought the soundtrack on iTunes and loved that. So a few nights ago, I finally bought it from iTunes (cheaper than buying it on dvd, and this way my family cant make fun of me for having it :-P) and watched it today from start to finish. Gabriella and Troy are so darned cute! Man! Why can't I have a boyfriend that looks like that? *grins* Such a feel-good story. :)

I got a prescription after all

Well, the advil didn't cut it, so I called the dentist place, and they called in a prescription for vicodin for me. I doubt I'll be going into work if Im still feeling like this. Or I might just go in for part of the day. We'll see how Im feeling in the morning. If my mouth hurts enough that the vicodin is needed, then no work.

On another note, I like this new blogger beta. I definitely like being able to play with the template some and the labels thing. It's definitely nice :) I might just play with one of the other templates.

And now the Cubs game is going from bad to worse :( Come on cubbies!

My mouth hurts

I spent about 90 minutes at the dentist today, and had some serious dental work done. Now, supposedly, just taking 4 advils will take care of the discomfort, but I have my doubts. I strongly suspect that I'll be calling them before the day is out for them to call in a prescription to the pharmacy. So while I'm still quite numb, I'm also feeling some pain :( We'll see if I end up at work tomorrow.

I bought a movie and an audiobook on my way home to help keep my attention. The movie is The Parent Trap (the newer version, with Dennis Quaid and Lindsey Lohan), and the latest book by Nora Roberts on cd. It's called Morrigan's Cross and looks interesting.

I've made a decision

I've decided that I need to find a new job. I hate the one I have, and that's not good for me. I have enough other emotional and mental problems without dealing with hating my job. I know that I prolly wont find a good one on campus, but at this point my peace of mind and mental health is more important. So starting this week, Im going to do some looking around, and will do some more looking during the week before classes start up again.

I've decided what to do with my time tonight

I'm going to go straight home (translation: not stop anywhere to spend money first) and play the piano. I've really gotten into playing the last few weeks for whatever reason. I mostly just play the melody (I started figuring out how to play so I could more easily learn the melody for a vocal piece I was working on). I'm loving the itme I sit and play the piano. My parents have suggested lessons, but that strikes me as being to regimented and structured for what I want to get out of my piano playing time. Anyway, after piano time comes dinner. My cubbies play at 7, so I'll turn them on then and work on my website some while I watch. All in all, a nice evening.
