.....
And now this sat for 3 days, and here we are on thursday. Yep. I am a slacker.
So monday, i had my hand looked at again. Ron and i got up early to head into syracuse. They ruled it as a nasty sprain, and recommended physical therapy. It was actually sore for a good part of the day because the doctor had to test my reflexes, and although she didnt hit it directly, it instantly went numb, and then hurt for real after that. How cool is that?
We also adventured to this new grocery store, shopright, or something like that, since it was right next to the doctor. It wasnt too bad. Reminded me of an aldis. We got some of those little debbie christmas tree cakes....and then ate the whole box. Breakfast of champions. I also needed to get bird seed, so we ventured out to cicero to acks exotic pets (favorite local pet store. He has so many things.) of course, since it was right around the corner, we had to visit kristen at work, and got some peppermint mochas/cocoas to warm up.
We totally had a date night, but more on that in a minute.
I ended up rescheduling my first physical therapy appointment to the following morning, which im glad i did. More hurt. Ron and i had been planning all weekend to go and get a tree, so that is what we did after.
It was freezing cold, windy....and cold. But, at least it was sunny. It was not muddy or wet, so we didnt get too dirty, aside from the sap. This is the first year we actually made it out to cut down a tree for real. We spent an hour in the cold looking for the right one, and then everyone at the barn where we paid for it, was totally jealous of our tree. Its like picking out a greeting card, except theres more weather, usually cold.
So we have our tree, it was all wrapped up overnight. We werent able to get it in the base til tuesday night, which, by the way, it is still just hanging out in the corner, undecorated. hopefully that will be done tonight, though. i did put up a couple other decorations though.
in honor of a month passing for kris's mom, we went out to red lobster with her, because i guess they went there a lot, and it was her favorite restaurant. i was thinking about those stupid cheddar biscuits all week, so we finally got them. yay!
it was nice to sit down and relax for a bit, and have someone bring you food. i dont mind cooking, but sometimes, especially lately because of my hand, pre made food is awesome.
and because only bad asses drink milk through a straw at a restaurant.
(yes, they both wanted milk to go with dessert. probably the only people in the restaurant drinking milk, but hey, it's all good.)
so aside from that, we ended up at trader joes and barnes and noble after for a bit. finally went home after and crashed, only to get up early tuesday for physical therapy and to see if we could find a steelbook case of guardians of the galaxy. stupid best buy was the only place that had it. it looked like a f*cking walkman. oh my god. but they were sold out at both stores (the guy at one store would not call the other, so we called, and by the time we drove all the way out there, were still on hold, only to find that the drive was pointless). regardless, we bought it anyway, because this is probably my new favorite movie ever. ohhh my goodness, it's like marvel, star wars, disney, and spaceballs all made a baby and it threw up rainbows and glitter. at least its something to try and keep me distracted from my hand.
my hand. wrist. thumb. that general area. oh, its actually been sore for the last few days since ive been told to stretch it and stuff. its understandable. but meh. i just want my hand to work again. i have been reconsidering my christmas treat list. i may accomodate less "hand involved" things to put a little less stress on myself. i will still make a few things, but not as much as i'd hoped for. putting in all the hours and stuff, and with pt, it is putting more stress on it, and it hurts, and gets tired more.
all the cold has not been the best, either. it just gets achy. we just got a ton of snow, and i had to shovel, scrape and move all of it away from/off of my car. bleh. i know i usually hate days off, but i could use one. not that i will be able to sit still, but i can probably rest it a little better, and not go outside at all, because that takes so much effort that i don't have.
it just makes me tired, too. i usually dont mind shoveling. maybe it will work out my left hand or something, so it can tolerate stuff more.

isnt snapchat great? haha. i only have a couple of friends that are on it, but it's entertaining to say the least. i also cant type/text to save my life because of my dysfunctional thumb. but this, i guess they forgot to plow half the road in front of my garage, so there was quite a bit for me to get through today. i also got stuck at kristens apartment because their landlords just don't plow. luckily, there were a few guys out shoveling someones car out of three feet of snow, so they helped push me out.
drove to liverpool, got some bagels and cocoa, then to dewitt to deliver a peppermint mocha to ron at work, stopped at work to fix something in the computer, and finally got home, put laundry away, and now im doing this, only to leave for work soon, and return some bottles before hand for gas money. yay busy!
holy crap. so about that day off, seriously, i would love to calm the f*ck down for a day or so. my next full day off is not until monday before christmas. yay. the money will be nice, especially after the last couple of weeks.
so, that being said, i am going to stop talking for now. im sorry i don't have any food or creations, so to speak this time, but i have definitely had my work cut out for me. hoping sunday i will have a revised list of christmas treats that will not kill my hand.
also, here is a picture of satch snuggled into my hair from....tuesday?
he is so silly. i love him. he gets all comfortable and doesnt want to move. it's like i radiate heat or something. (i've been told i do. like a personal space heater. but im always so cold...)
okay. for real now. i am not sure if i will have anything for sunday, but hopefully i'll have time for something. have a good rest of the week! thanks for reading!
