    At my old lab we used to do alpacas, horses, and the occasional cow. Just the blood obviously, we didn't get to see them or anything. I always liked looking at the smears.

    I am tiiiiiiired tonight. This was my last night off, I have the next 6 off. I'm helping a friend move today and gearing up for my daughter's birthday party this weekend. Woop

    We have a Sonic in town and a Cookout a town over. I resisted and got some gummy fruit slices, only slightly better than a milkshake lol.

    Still sounds yummy. I could tear through some chocolate right now. Work has me beyond frustrated and my patience level is almost non existent. Thankfully I get off 2hrs earlier than shift tonight. Here's praying the next 5hrs go by as smoothly and quickly as yesterday did.

    I'm trying desperately not to stare at the clock which is counting down to my weekend off!! Just have to make sure I eat better on my weekends off or at least track better. I kinda slack off.

    Hi all I am checking in as I can! Been going to bed early the last few nights as I had to be up early! *GASP* I wasn't sleeping a lot of it but I am happy with the rest I got! I DO NOT sleep early!

    @sufferlandrian have you seen a chiropractor? I go every other week (my preference) and I feel amazing after! If you have a good one they can do amazing things with trouble spots...for example when I started I had a permanent knot in my right lower back, nothing helped it! Now it is gone and fine with regular visits. I have had trouble with my arms and wrists from the work I do and those are more than manageable with regular visits (no pain anymore as long as I don't go too long without adjustments). I have had my ankles, feet, knees, wrists, and every other joint treated at one point or another and it helps me so much! Just today my chiro's husband treated me (she is on light duty she is overdue pregnant) and he did such wonderful things to my arm that was bothering me! It is great now!

    Back at work. The PT was great! Showed me what I was doing wrong and how to fix it. I'm recovering faster than I thought I would. Still being careful not to rush it but it's amazing how what we learned in our youth turns out to be so bad for our joints.
