I'm mostly whining this whole post. Just warning you.


SCHOOL IS SO HARD RIGHT NOW!

Like hard enough I am getting heart anxiety when I think about it. I keep avoiding it by playing on pinterest....then a little homework.....Facebook....a little homework.......blog reading.......a little home work......blogging.....

and here I am. I am working on some essay that I have NEVER even heard of how to write before.

I am also trying to memorize all the bones.

Like 206. And they aren't normal names normal people have ever heard of. They are names like

Hyoid,

Occipital  (spell check doesn't even recognize it!!!!!!)

Parietal

 And also I have to memorize the muscles and their functions.

I AM STRESSED.

I have a friend getting his doctorate. He was so kind to take some time with me and teach me how to do this paper. It relieved so much stress because I was completely doing it wrong. Thank goodness for nice friends and their wives for loaning them to me.

Corey has been in enormous pain. We found out our insurance won't pay for acupuncture (someone suggested it) but will pay for 20 massages a year. So that will maybe give him some relief. The Drs. we are seeing are FRUSTRATING. (Stupid things like not calling in meds and not remembering appointments.) But we don't have many choices. The other choice has a SIX MONTH waiting list. We are very very discouraged.

My voice is STILL messed up! What in the world! Next week I have a barium swallow (throat x-ray) and then the month after that I go to Utah to see a laryngitis and a speech therapist. Unless it goes away magically. SO WEIRD.

This is what I think it is.... (except that I think my swallow has changed and I don't know how that would be psychological.)

Psychological - voice changes are not uncommon when people are under stress either at work or at home. The voice may be lost suddenly, usually overnight or following a cold. It is important to identify and remove the underlying stress. 

Because of school I haven't been working quite as much. That is nice but also causes it's own financial stress. 

Today my boss called me. He told me he just wanted to say that it has been weird that I haven't been working as much and that they have missed me and that I do a good job and that even though sometimes he is grumpy (which he isn't) that he appreciates me. HOLY COW. It was so sweet. I have thought about that and felt good several times tonight. Oh...and Newell said I looked 34. :)

alright, back to pinterest....er.....my essay.

Hello, my old friend.

It's been about six months since I have seen your face. I decided today that I needed you again, back in my life. School is all but a mi...
