Hey guys,
Sorry that it's been some time since my last post.
Things have been going well, I think: I am already up to the B Levels on Chart 2 for 5BX; my fastest mile run so far has been 8:12; my work at 4J is nearly done for the school year; and we started rehearsals for The Merry Wives of Windsor. I already have my summer schedule for Nearby Nature, which I need to start working on curriculum in the next month.
Things have been good, but there have also been a few rough patches. About a week ago, I went to the ER with a fever of 103. Turns out I had the flu and stayed home from work two days. With the ER visit comes the ER bill, which I need to apply for the hospital's financial assistance program. Having no medical insurance can be a real bear sometimes. My car is also having a few issues (it's slow to accelerate, effectively cutting my gas milage in half...among a few other things) and I've got a tax bill from the State of Oregon to take care of.
I think most worrying of all is my back and lower right leg. I had my microdiscectomy three years ago for my herniated disc and have worked on trying to prevent a relapse. However, at rehearsal last night, I twisted to my left side to grab something behind me and felt a "pop" in my lower spine. Within minutes, I felt a constant dull pressure in my lower right leg...the old sciatica spot. It doesn't hurt, but "sleeping it off" didn't do anything either as I still feel some pressure this morning. I hope it's nothing, but I'm also fearful that could get worse. I'm still going to exercise, but I'll also be taking it easy and watching my posture in the coming days and weeks.
That's about it so far. I've been wanting to write these past couple of weeks, for which I've had a few ideas. If the same muse strikes again, I'll be here.
Take care.
