I am absolutely doing nothing today since my doctor told me I was doing too much activity and I need more rest in order to start physical therapy in two weeks. I won't argue! lol
I'm thinking of starting a blog. I think that may help get my thoughts and feelings out. Also it would be neat to go back and read all the ish I have been through 1 year later.
I really miss my work. wait! did I just say (type) that!?!? must be the pain meds typing lol!

Good morning! Glad you're taking the time to rest and yay for PT!
In other PT related news, I found our yesterday that I am one of four people scheduled to interview at my top neuroLogical physical therapy residency pick. Its in early march amd is a full day of tours and interviewing. I am so proud of myself for getting an interview. They rarely offer the position to new grads but I'm going to do my best and see what happens.
Work and life are good here. I'm managing a full caseload at my other brain injury day rehab spot and while a lot of days are very sad, I've had some great moments too.
I do not want to start studying for intensely for boards yet though and I should have started two weeks ago.

Good morning!
I think blogging is a great idea, abcdefu! I always feel better when I type out my thoughts and can process them that way. And it's great to have a record of any time in your life.
You guys, I started watching American Horror Story on Netflix a few days ago. I heard that the second season was a fan favorite so that's where I started. Big mistake. Big. Huge. Let me preface this with the fact that I tend to love any scary stories except anything pertaining to possession thanks to a deeply religiously fucked up childhood (southern baptist ministers daughter over here). It fucks with my head even though I realize science is like "yeah, no, Lyss. This is not a thing." I couldn't sleep last night. I couldn't even turn the lights off. . The whole season so far seems to revolve around possession. It's called Asylum. I thought it would be people who are crazy, not demon possessed.
In waaaaay better news, DS and I had a great evening together. We did homework and flash cards and he helped me with dinner. I had a headache when I got off work and I forgot about it after we got home together.
Thinking of our board girls who are caught in the path of the blizzard today. Stay safe, guys! Check in!
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
I am in bed, about to say good night to Tuesday already I am excited because tomorrow DS and I are meeting a bumpie from my birth month board who moved over here in November! Hopefully we will be friends, I feel like such a dork. It is my first time meeting someone from a messageboard lol

LMAO!! This is sooooo me!! I can't watch scary movies because it scares me so much. However, I go to the jails and prisons for work and that's okay. LOL

I think that is a great idea. I started my blog back when XH and I separated. It's interesting going back and reading the entries from then. I fully support this and if you make it public, send me the link?

Morning! I'm relaxing at home with the iPad and cup of tea. Yay for a blizzard day! We' ve definitely had a lot of snow but the wind isn't terrible here since we aren't on the coast anymore. So hopefully we keep our power and I can just enjoy the day. T won't let me help shovel so what can I complain about?
this is a guy from tinder, we'd been texting all weekend. we were going to go to a fun/funky local restaurant but they're closed on mondays, so he picked an italian place and made reservations. i'm not big into a first date being dinner, usually i like to start with just a drink to make sure there's a spark or whatever, but we ended up shutting the restaurant down. he's thoughtful and held doors and refused to let me pay for anything. he was super complimentary (but not overly so) and the best part? he's as tall as he said he was, lol. (which is huge for me, as in heels i'm 6 feet tall) AND - he has a beard and tattoos (swoon - amirite mp? )
he texted me as soon as he got home and thanked me for a fun evening. then we kept texting until after midnight.
it's been so long since i had a good date. i'm still being cautiously optimistic, but even if i don't hear from him again, it was a nice reminder that good guys are out there.

Second Indian - I'd love to read it as well, abcdefu!

This is awesome! I'm so happy! Also, beard and tattoos...yes please. I hope you're able to go out again.

My day is pretty blue because my grandmother died yesterday. It was expected, but it's still really hard.
My second date Sunday was really good, and we are supposed to go out again Wednesday, but am waiting to hear about my grandmother's arrangements.
My date is a bit different than me in that he doesn't drink (alcohol or caffeine) and isn't American (which isn't a new thing for me :-). I also don't know his last name! I can't ever figure out the best way to work that into an early conversation.

So sorry for your loss, but yay for dates with new and interesting people. Id just ask him about his last name.

Third Indian!!
Awesome! I will definitely make it public due to the fact that it may help people, especially young women and teenagers, suffering from SB and feeling like they don't belong and suffer from depression. I will probably start it today because, well, I have nothing else to do today! LOL!

I know its horrible for me to wish this but I wish we had a little snow in Texas. Its in the 70s here today. Shameful wish, I know, but you always want what you can't have.
thanks lyssbobiss, Command, B613, command, b613 and cuddlyevil! and thanks for letting me be all swoony - i haven't told anyone IRL about the date so it's nice to be able to gush here.

peppermint, I'm feeling better. Turns out I needed some ibuprofen to take down the inflammation in my sinuses--I'm still stuffy but I feel better. Might still need antibiotics, but we'll see in a few days.
Soon. But I have to keep mum, people are talking at work. :/
My car's in the shop and I'm driving a rental. My car is 10 years old with 195k miles on it. It feels so good driving a new car, with heated leather seats!

Try season 1, that was more of a traditional ghost story. I'm with you on the rest of it. I used to love scary movies, until I realized how much sleep I was missing out on because they freaked me the fuck out. I've always hated devil movies, though. While I still watch American Horror Story, I don't really like to watch scary movies any more.
