Night Out With My Girls

Brenda, Jill, and Charlee came into town last night to get together for my birthday. We played some putt-putt before going for some yummy Mexican. Get a bunch of girls together, what's going to happen? Talking. That seems to be all we did all night. We lingered at the restaurant after we ate just talking away. Brenda had to head out (by this time it was after 8 I think) and the rest of us stood in the parking lot, continuing the conversation, until we decided just to head back to my place. There we talked, well forever. Jill finally ended up leaving a bit after 5am and Charlee and I stayed up for maybe another hour. We finally fell asleep on the couch until 9am. Yep, we're wild and crazy girls! It was nice to just sit and get together and have girl talk with no men and no kids! It's not often that happens.

I had my first adjustment at the chiropractor. It was weird. He told me he was going to turn my head and he showed me in slow motion how. Then he did it. It went pop-pop-pop-pop-pop! Then the other side. Well, I'm not paralyzed. I'm going to be going a couple times a week until some of the pain stops and then I'll go less often. Jill (who used to be a physical therapist) isn't too keen on chiropractors, feeling they just try to keep you coming forever so they can always get money instead of trying to really fix it--like by giving you exercises you can do on your own. Charlee's husband has had more improvement with massages, than chiropractic care as well. So we'll just see how this goes. It's funny that insurance covers more massages a year than adjustments!

I finally crawled off the couch. Besides not getting any sleep last night, I've had a major headache all day. It's still there, but I can finally sit up so I'm trying to get a few things done. It's Dad's birthday today so I gave him a call. He's going to be done with this current job in a few weeks and then moving on to Oklahoma for about a week. I hope his next job takes him closer to Indiana. One can wish!
