Random Ramblings

I can’t believe it’s December.  Like, really.  Last night I thought, “I’ll get a haircut in November or December” thinking that was a long time away.  Now that it IS December, I have no idea when I’d have time for a haircut!

December is always my favorite month, probably because my birthday (the 15th…you still have time to buy me a gift and stick it in the mail ;) ).  I’ve always been a huge Christmas fan, but I haven’t really felt the Christmas spirit this year.  I’ve been dutiful in planning Christmas presents (ordered the first ones in the wee hours when I was avoiding going to bed), but not in writing Christmas cards or decorating.  Still not sure either of those are going to happen.  We’ll see.

I’ve been struggling with a cough since a couple of days before Turkey, and finally decided enough was enough.  I could tolerate it enough for a while, but it’s starting to head south, and the last time I let it, I ended up with bronchitis.  I know something is wrong when I can hear myself breathing in my headphones and they’re not attached to a stethoscope.  (on a totally random note, I don’t think I’ve ever written that word…it’s kinda funny looking!)  I have an appointment to see a PA this afternoon and feel incredibly grownup…usually I have to go to urgent care because I don’t know where else to go (and I’ve always had insurance, it’s just my patheticness).  I’m determined to find a primary care doctor now, though.  I’ll see if I like the office I’m visiting today.

So, to complete this randomness, what are you looking forward to most this month?

Could You Check This Out for Me?

Since I work at a small company, we have a small office in part of a larger office. One of the other offices is some sort of doctor’s office, while the rest of us are mainly in the financial/housing/office-y line of work. As I was walking by the medical office on Friday, I saw someone inside. I don’t know exactly what kind of doctor’s office they are, but they have pictures of a spine and joints and stuff on the wall. I also saw someone in the office playing on the computer (okay, they might have been working, I don’t know).

I’ve been having some back pain for a few weeks now (okay, a month), and it’s starting to get better. But as I was walking by, it was hurting, so the thought cross my mind to go in and ask the dude what was wrong with my back. Maybe he could just feel my lower spine and tell me if something’s maladjusted?

Then I realized that if I did that I would be asking a complete stranger, who may not even be a doctor, to feel up my backside. Maybe that’s not such a wise idea after all…

Have a wonderful, relaxing, enjoyable Sunday, everyone, and I’ll see you again on Monday!
