What a WEEK I’m having!

What movie’s that on?

Every single day this week something bad or crazy has happened.

For instance:

Sunday – As I take a large breath to continue my dainty female nose blowing, I watch as what seems like a thousand fibers get sucked into my mouth, clinging to my throat. {imagine the scene in The Green Mile where he sucks the bad out of Tom Hanks mouth into his. Just like that.}

I gag and can’t inhale, it has completely coated my throat. It then makes me dry heave and throw up twice. All because of the kleenex fibers.

Monday – I didn’t fall asleep until 4am Monday morning, so when my alarm went off at 7am, I changed it to 7:45. When I opened my eyes, it said 10:45. HUH?! I check my phone and it said 10. I had my physical therapy appt. at 10! {clearly I changed the clock and not the alarm} I still made it into PT at 10:30 but by the time I got there my migraine had formed. All day long, I’m out for the count feeling queasy.

Tuesday – The Toyota dealership attempted to trick me into spending a lot of money saying I ‘needed’ something done. I said, no.
My attempts at craftiness results in me cutting my finger w/my scissors.

Wednesday – 3:30pm I go to my chiropractor that I haven’t seen in over 2 years. Within 5 minutes of being in the room, he exclaims, ‘wow, you reek of garlic! What did you have for lunch!?’ He continued to say how strong it was and agreed that it was like it was seeping out of my pores. {alright already, I get it!} I then share I ate garlic with my dinner the night before!!

Thursday – My mom demanded asked that I ensure to all that she never ever told me to get the feathers. Her dream for my mantle was to have these beautiful fall leaves on twigs that arced like the wrought iron I have hanging with a couple of those leaves on the mantle as if they had fallen.

Again, my mom never said I should get feathers!

I returned the feathers and got all my money back! The stick thingy is now back on the mantle. {thank you everyone for your opinions!! I didn’t mind one bit your choice even through the bloodshed. I whole heartedly agree!}

Friday – well..I don’t know what today brings. Hopefully no pain, or smells, or trickery.

How have your weeks been? Anything out of the ordinary?

Go enjoy your weekends now. I get to see family, so I’m looking forward to mine!

I miss you so much

Dear Pillow,

It’s been exactly 37 days since we were last together and my days haven’t been the same since. I’m using another pillow and you must know, he doesn’t compare to you. You know me so well, that you don’t even think when to support my neck or cup my cheek, you just do. And he… well…

I think of you every day and night. All the memories we’ve had together. The beautiful sleep we’ve shared. All our trips we’ve gone on. I would take you everywhere with me and you were eager to go. Remember driving across country with me? Yeah, I do too. Those were great times weren’t they?

I know I said I’d never leave you behind, but we talked about this and knew it was the right decision to leave you in Hawaii. I remember making sure you were all fresh and clean before I left and tucked you in nice and snug with all the other pillows so you’d feel a part of the new group…and I think they took to you quickly too. (I hope they’re treating you well.) Giving you a loving pat before I walked out of the room…it was all I could do to keep from crying.

I want you to know you mean so much to me and to show you how much I care, today I’m leaving your side of the bed empty…in honor of you. All the other pillows were eager to show tribute to you too by moving over.

I don’t sleep the same without you! I love and miss you oh so much and can’t wait until we’re reunited again.

Fully devoted to you,
Emily Pin It Now!

Have you ever

Wednesday Wednesday be a good day to me please. Tuesday was, eh at best. Come to think of it the past 2 Tuesdays have been very bad for me but you Wednesday...have treated me well. So, you good with keeping it up for me??

Ok, now that we have that settled...


Have you ever taken a charge so hard in basketball, (because the darn girl ducked her shoulder like a linebacker) slam your head on the ground then afterward not know you're on offense as you stand in the key?
- Yes, after taking the charge, we had the ball and I'm still in defense 'guarding' the key. Everyone on the bench and court was yelling at me that 'we're on offense.' I kept yelling back, 'I KNOW!' but kept playing defense. Coach called a timeout, took me out of the game and made me answer a bunch of questions.

Have you ever been in a head on collision and not worn your seatbelt breaking the windshield with your head in the process?
- Yes, I sustained a concussion, whiplash and bruised shin bones from the dash. I am a heavy heavy advocate for seatbelts now.

Have you ever known someone who as a boy sitting behind the driver seat without his seatbelt, get into a head on, and have his teeth stick into the back of the seat and get ripped out from the impact.
- Yes, poor guy. His jaw was wired shut for the longest time!!

Have you ever been blindsided by an inmate carrying 70 lbs of trays that it sent you soaring 10 ft. through the air, and upon 'landing' slam your head on the concrete floor sustaining a concussion, whiplash and a bruised tail bone...and have it all be an accident?
- Yes, he didn't see me, I didn't see him. He plowed into me so hard. I can still hear all the i/m's screaming out when they saw my head bounce off the concrete. Once I got up, I started to go back to work but was forced to get checked out. Everyone said it looked and sounded horrible. The i/m was so scared but it really was an accident. I'm now officially 7% disabled because of it. The dr. wanted 25%. (I wish now, I had agreed.)
And yes, all these are why I can't look left/right OR up/down for long but mainly this one finished me off.

Have you ever had to wear a 15 lb work belt that sat right on your hip bones and made them swell up real big?
- Yes, (forgive the slight immodesty)

That was 2 weeks into work. I went out, bought a nylon duty belt and slung it like John Wayne or as a Sgt. would call me, Jane Wayne. <this is the only way I could wear it>

Forgive the messy look, deathly white skin and sunken eyes. I had just worked a 16 hour shift and was beat.

*Random Tip: Wear your seatbelt and look left and right when entering a building. It will all save you a heap of pain! Pin It Now!
