I never would've thought that a chiropractor could make such a difference, but I am such a believer now! The first time I went was in August after my back injury (I will never get on one of those amusement park slides again!), and I quit going for awhile because my insurance ended, but my neck's been killing me so I went back and just paid cash for it. Today was my first time getting adjusted in over a month, and I'm not hurting at all today, got more energy than I've had in weeks! It was sorta scary the first time I got adjusted, though. He grabbed hold of my neck and threw my head in this impossible angle until the whole thing creaked. Now I wish that Don knew how to do it.
Still not working, but we're leaving for vacation next Friday so I'm not going to worry too much about a job until I get back. I'd just like a little something to do to make a bit of money before I go, but I'm overqualified for what little I've applied for, and no one wants me, of course. I'm pretty sure that I smell more schooling in my future if I want to get anywhere in this career change.
I am SO ready to go to Hawaii; I am practically bouncing off the walls! We still have over a week but it really can't get here soon enough for me. Don's excited, but he's never been so he's not as bad as me since he doesn't know what he's missing. We're spending half our time in Waikiki and the other half traveling around the Big Island. I've been trying to plan our trip so that it won't be a repeat of my last trip 3 years ago, even though I would happily do it all over again. Like biking down Haleakala and parasailing in Kaanapali... those were a blast but I want to do something else now; maybe we'll go back sometime and I'll get to share those experiences with Don. We have so many places we want to go that we'll probably be grandparents before we make it around to Hawaii again!
We had a pretty good weekend. On Friday night, we ended up at Krispy Kreme, so obviously I was very happy about that! Saturday afternoon, we went for another walk and ended up hanging out on Big John and Betty's porch again for about an hour (they are so hilarious!). I guess we didn't really do a whole lot that was too exciting, but that's okay. It's funny how much things change once you get married. (I'm still trying to get used to it... maybe I never will, who knows?) I used to be soooooo busy, always going out, meeting up with friends, going to shows and the newest restaurants and on road trips. Then my friends started getting married, and I met Don and changed jobs and bought my house, all in less than a year, and somewhere along the way I settled down a bit without even realizing it. It's nice, though... I guess it's a good thing I'm happy because I couldn't afford to spend the time or the money doing all of that stuff now! We do get out, but (upcoming vacation excluded!) what we do isn't as lavish as what I was doing a few years ago. Dinner and play tickets don't seem so expensive when you're only paying for one person, but it sure takes a nasty bite out of the budget now. C'est la vie!
