After I had my surgery 3 months ago, I was having some discomfort in my lower back and in my side and after more tests (like I needed all that!) and the doctor could not find anything, he sent me to a chiropractor. Now, I have always had an opinion about chiropractors, and even though I've heard they work, I was very skeptical. I mean honestly, I could not even fathom the idea of someone 'cracking' me. I was scared.
It has been almost 2 months now and I have to say that it has helped me immensely. When I get there, I lay on this 'bed-type' couch and it massages my lower back as heat is applied to it and there are some sensors that they apply to each of my sides. This process lasts about 10 minutes and I could seriously go to sleep, it feels that good.
When I am done with this process, then I go to the actual chiropractor and he 'adjusts' me. First I lay on my stomach and he presses on my spine in about 3 different areas and works out the knots. Then I lay on each of my sides and he cracks that area and then he works on my neck. Which I love! Having my neck adjusted does wonders.
After that, I go into a room with one of his assistants and they have me lay on my stomach where they do what is called an ultrasound. Now this is not like a typical ultrasound where they look inside of you. They apply this very minty gel stuff on my back and work it around for a few minutes and it helps to loosen up my muscles and stimulate them.
I do all of this about 3 times a week and I have really found that I feel much better. Although I still have a few slight isssues every now and again, I see a difference. Sometimes giving something the benefit of the doubt really does work out and help us.
And so it goes, the old saying, monkey see, monkey do. I had to follow 'the others' and read:
I loved them. All of them! And yes, I love them mostly for the sex parts. I will not tell a lie. The only women I have heard negative comments from about these books are married women. Seriously! SO I am single, and yes the sex parts did turn me on, so did Christian Grey! I want him! Or someone exactly like him.
The plot and storyline were also interesting and very good, I do have to say, but the steamy parts.... Holy cow!
There is talk of a movie, and I am really not looking forward to seeing it, but I will. However, I know they will mess it up after all of what I have imagined in my head. What 'he' looks like, what Ana looks like, what their house looks like. And the sex scenes? They won't be able to show half of what was in the book. Bummer!
Did you read them? Did you like? Do you think I am wierd because I loved them?
So maybe I fell off the face of the Earth, but maybe I did not. I guess you could say it's the latter since I am here now. Alive and (barely) kicking, but still around, nonetheless!
Life is basically the same since I was last here, pecking at the keyboard, pouring my heart and soul out and I guess maybe I missed it. That's why I am back and hopefully I will be for a while. At least until something more exciting tears me away!
Well let's see. March was a bit uneventful. I guess maybe around the end of that month I decided (once again) to join an online dating service, just to see what's 'out there'. I don't get out much, and I absolutely hate the bar scene. And not to mention that all of my friends are pretty much married or no fun (just kidding!) but I needed something to spice up the dating scene for myself.
Probably not a week or so after I joined up, I was told that I was going to need a hysterectomy! My uterus was just hating away on me and growing things it should not be growing. I had that done on April 2 and I have since completely recovered (still have the old ovaries!) and I am so glad it's done. NO MORE PERIODS!! Yay me!
Anyway, I met not one, but TWO guys on the dating site. Guy number 1 made it perfectly clear that he owned a business and stayed very busy and could not put in all of the efforts of a relationship (or one that I would want, anyway)...we just recently stopped 'talking' (which was nothing but texting, which really got on my nerves...how old are we?? Ugh!) And he NEVER took me on a 'date'...Hello! So that was a bust.
Then there was guy #2 who I was really really starting to fall for and had great expectations from and we were moving along quite well, (even introducing kids, mine and his one boy) and I was starting to see myself very happy. Until, you guessed it, he acted the ass and just totally stopped talking to me! For two whole weeks. Nothing! Then out of the blue he returned. He said he got scared and was 'falling' and needed to slow things down....Which proceeded with a complete month of every day communication. ( I miss you, I'm sorry, I have a lot of making up to do, when can I see you?) Until we finally went out last week and I thought things would go back to how (wonderful?) they were in the beginning, only for him to have again not spoken to me in over a week now. It goes without saying, he's history now!
Back to square one! Single and ready to mingle, but NOT going back on that dating site. I have had enough of being lied to, played and used. I am way too old for that kind of crap!
The first week of June, my girls and I went to Destin, FL for a work conference and we had a blast. Fun in the sun and plenty of down time made for a great escape and many memories.
After the drama of dating and the stress of surgery and the hustle and bustle of every day life, I have decided to just slow things down and focus on me and my two daughters. We have gone back to church, I've started reading again and doing projects/home improvements and trying to live a happy care free life. One that someday I will share with that special someone, but until then I will live for my girls and ME!
