Stupid Arm.

I am really behind in the blogging schedule. Ugh. Really. Behind. Wow.

I hurt my shoulder pretty bad last week. I ended up going to UrgentCare twice in one day. Then the pain was so bad that I was popping painkillers left and right as if they were candy. I took somewhere between 32 and 36 pills over the course of the day on Thursday. It was a bad day. A really bad day.

Fast foward...

Now it's Monday, I'm back at work but my arm still hurts like hell and I stopped taking the pain pills yesterday (Sunday) morning in an attempt to get my head out of the fog. Wow. Thursday through Sunday are a big blur. I don't remember much. Well, I remember sleeping...and that is about it. Actually I remember a lot of sleeping.

I will try to update the blog in the next day or two and get everything caught up. A lot has been going on, so much to fill everyone in on. Wild.

Hang in there. You never know... the next post might just be from rehab! Whoo Hoo!

I Give Love A Bad Name...

Tonight Becca and I are attending the Bon Jovi concert over in St. Paul at the Xcel Energy Center. It should be a wild night. I am expecting a lot of stonewashed denim jackets, big hair, and some good old fashioned rock n roll attitude. Are you ready to rock? Hell yeah!

I’ve had “Wanted Dead or Alive” stuck in my head for the past few days. I might just start answering the phone by singing “Cause I’m wanted…dead or alive…on a steel horse I ride…How can I help you?” I’d probably get fired, but it would be hilarious.

Other than that…nothing else new. I finally finished my “work” so now I can just putz around for the rest of the day at work. I should post my old blog entries that I haven’t put up yet. In fact, that’s exactly what I’m going to go and do.

Tomorrow I will have a full Bon Jovi report in all it’s sheer awesomeness. Until then…

Winter's Last Stand

Winter has made it’s last stand. Overnight we got a bunch of snow and I woke up this morning to a winter wonderland. I’m not happy about it, but I’m also not suicidal since it’s rather pretty. It’s the kind snow that sticks to every little branch of a tree, to the street signs, and to lampposts. This is the kind of snow I love to look at. But, honestly…I am so tired of winter. This winter seems to be never ending. A couple of days ago everything felt like spring. The sun was out, the snow was melting leaving and giving us the first peeks at the grass that hasn’t been seen in months, and you could go outside without your heavy winter coat. Now it feels like it was all just a dream.

Winter just drains me. I need to move somewhere that doesn’t really have a winter. I enjoy spring, summer, and fall. But winter…not at all. I wonder where that place exists? The land with no winter. That sounds like a movie. Now that sounds like a dream come true. But, I do love snow on Christmas and only Christmas. It can snow on the day before Christmas Eve and then melt on the day after Christmas. That would be perfect. Christmas wouldn’t seem right without snow. The thought of Christmas in Florida seems bizarre to me. Blinking lights on a palm tree. Weird.

Anyways…this is a longest day ever. I’m going to lose my mind. I am so bored. I have some work I should do but it’s hard to get motivated. My ambition is frozen. Just like the world I live in.

I'm Still Here.

Sometimes time goes by way too quickly. A flash, a blink, a snap. Here and gone. I am shocked that this year has gone by so fast. We are already halfway through March. Amazing.

Things have been very hectic lately to say the least. I’ve been sick, got healthy, and got sick again. It’s a never ending cycle. I think it is due to the fact that I’m a receptionist and all day long I deal with people who are doing nothing but carrying germs to my desk. It’s like the movie “Outbreak” and I work with carrier monkeys. It’s not pretty. No matter how many times I swab down the desk with Lysol or spray the air, I keep getting ill. I totally understand now how people become germaphobes. I’m getting there myself. Another couple of weeks and I will be sitting a sanitized plastic bubble answering the phones and sorting faxes.

Work is the same. Nothing really new to report there. Maybe it’s the calm before the storm. Maybe it’s a case of “no news is good news”. I don’t know. I’m not complaining. I’m just riding the wave.

Four performances were on the schedule this week. It seems that it’s either feast or famine. I’ve hosted a comedy show in Wisconsin, did an improv show, did another comedy show, and I have “Last Laugh” tomorrow night. Good times. The shows have been going really well, which is great. I feel like I’m really hitting my groove with it.

Well, back to the grind. Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
