I'm back!!

I finally changed my blog background from a Christmas layout.  Sadly, this was not the last of my Christmas decorations to be put away...  We might still have our lights on the front of the house (I blame my husband...) and I still have some green garland in my entry way.  At this rate, I might as well just leave everything and we'll have a head start for decorating next year, right?  Meh.

There are so many things I want to get better at/start doing again.  This is one of them.  No idea how many people *actually* read this...but it's more for me anyway.  I need to have one place that I can record all the things we do so when I eventually get around to scrapbooking about those events I have some type of journaling to go off of.

So I guess I'll just start with today...

I took the day off of work.  At first it was mostly for my emotional health.  After hearing the very limited options I had to deal with my kidney stone over the next 3 months at my doctor's appointment yesterday, I was having a hard time processing everything.  I have pain pills to help manage the pain, but I'm trying to take them as little possible.  As the day went on, the pain in my back got worse and the pain pills only worked about half the time.  I ended up sleeping most of the day and I'm finally getting some relief tonight.

I never know when I'm going to have another attack, which is the most frustrating part.  I guess I'll just have to take things day by day and see how it goes.
