Date Weekend

Note: Start reading at "The Why"

What Happened:
This weekend I had a date and an outing with a friend from graduate school. My friend from graduate school came Friday. We always have so much fun!! I woke up sooo excited to prepare for the weekend! I worked my normal full day at work. What felt like the longest day ever!!!! When I finally got off it was time to drive the 35 min to get home and hope I beat my friend to my house. I didn't...lol but it was soooooo ok! Upon seeing him I had the biggest smile on my face. Although my legs hurt he was able to make me laugh and almost forget that my life was not all screwed up at the moment. It was so refreshing!!! Not to mention he is well rounded, highly educated, has a great head on his shoulders, hard worker and he is very handsome! We had a blast eating Mexican food and I even had a drink and it was delicious!!!! Like really delicious! Then we talked and laughed all night. He left just in time for class. I woke up excited and ready for my two classes and then prepare for my date. By this time my body was not really feeling awesome. I was exhausted and my legs hurt to walk. Why not cancel? Well, this was my first date in almost a year and honestly I needed it to get back in the swing of things, to make my life feel some sort of normalcy again. I met my date at Red Robin (endless fries so I'm cool). We talked well.....he talked. A Lot of talking, without me, lol. This was more of a monologue. An extended version of a very long boring monologue. I was not having fun at all. During one of his monologues I timed him....NINE MINUTES of talking and he never once asked me anything. So dinner finally ended and it was time to watch the movie. We went to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2. The movie was actually really good and yes he even talked through some of the movie. Lol amazing I know!!! So the movie and those "comfortable" seats....No! Just no!!! It was excruciating trying to sit in those seats for 2 hours and not move. I was fidgeting like a crack head on his first 24 hours of remission. It was not fun, not at all.  My legs were hurting, my feet were numb, my butt was hurting so incredibly bad
and it was just so very uncomfortable. I know for sure on this dating journey I will not be going on any more dates until I am healed. Whew!!! I survived though and the date was over. I could finally go home!!!!! Praise God and sweet baby Jesus!!

How I felt:
Friday was good!!
Saturday morning was good but Saturday night with the not so hot date and the not so comfortable movie seats was......not so good!

Bang Dem Sticks

Note: Start at "The Why" What Happened: I teach a class called Pound. It is amazing class with drumsticks that you bang together and lots of movement up and down, on the ground, back and forth. It is an amazing full body workout that I absolutely love. Today's class was horrible! Absolutely horrible! I went to hit my sticks together and my pointer finger radiated with pain. I dropped my sticks (which very rarely happens to me). I kept teaching but let go of my left stick. When we got down to the ground my hip area hurt so bad that I could barely sit, much less move side to side. I was in so much pain throughout the class. I managed to smile through the class but I just wanted to cry. But there are people to help get fit and no time or crying. My fingers also feel like I have blisters on them when I text or use them to type. And without texting you cant post to FB, IG, or talk to friends. I do all of the above a lot. Today was a very quiet day. How I felt: Scared. Wi...

The Longest Night

Note: Start reading at "The Why" What Happened: Two days ago I quit taking my Neurontin cold turkey. I did not know that you were suppose to wen yourself off gradually........I went from taking 1500mg to nothing. Help me Holy Spirit, Sweet baby Jesus! I need the father, the son and the Holy Ghost!!! All three right now! I am sweating like I  have been working out, my head hurt soooo bad and I cant stop trembling. This post wont be long because my vision is a little blurry but I wanted to write to explain the way I feel right now. It is 3 am and I have been up since 11 pm trying to not throw up or call my mom crying. I googled reactions to coming off of  Neurontin and I match most of them. Oh dear LAWD!!!! If this is what it feels like to be on drugs and come off....Never get on them but if you do just stay on them (yes this feeling is that bad). Every time I close my eyes there are images of Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd and other characters from Looney Tunes but only half of th...

The Day My Life Changed

What Happened: It's funny they say you don't remember a traumatic event, well I remember! (Yes I know compared to some my event is not horrible but for me it has been) Feb 10th started off as a normal Friday. I went to work as normal, taught an aerobic class and went to Wal-Mart. After being in Wal-Mart approximately 20 min and standing in a VERY long line my calf muscles begin to burn on both legs. Of course when you workout as much as I do you go through shoes pretty frequently, with this in mind I figured that I just needed new shoes. The pain and burning got so bad...I took them off. After checking out I hobbled to my car. I took my passenger by Wendy's (which we did every Friday after class). At this point I still felt a little pain in my legs but overall just felt weird. With driving 3/4 mi from the drive through while eating a french fry (healthy right?😏) my jaw locked up. I was completely unable to move it. I tried to keep a calm face even though I was freake...
