I received a commendation from my county this week. Basically that means it’s a matter of public record that I kick butt and I’m really cool. 🙂 Tee hee. It says lots of lovely things about my work, what I’ve done, the awards I’ve won, and all the “recognition” I have brought to myself, my family, and my county. Wasn’t that sweet of them? Nice big round of applause for them. I got to go to a county meeting thingie and I had to stand up in front of everybody and shake the Supervisor’s hand and smile pretty (well, as pretty as I could – the bruises on my face were as purple and charming as ever). Now I have a lovely little certificate to frame and hang up on my wall. Cool stuff, eh?
I’m really hyper at the moment. I went to the dentist today to have my jaw checked out. It’s been hurting like mad ever since the Big Fall last Saturday. Can barely open it and dang does it hurt. The dentist was nice enough to x-ray around my head and make sure I didn’t hurt anything. He thinks it’s muscle strain from “severe trauma”. I have to take bucketloads of motrin to try to calm it down. I took 600mg about an hour ago and it hasn’t put much more than a dent in it. *sigh* Oh well. It’s really strange being hyper and in pain all at the same time, especially since my body and my brain refuse to move any faster than molasses in winter (I just love that phrase…)
At least I’m up and moving around now. The dizziness has subsided enough to allow me to move about the house more regularly. I’m actually in my room now, rather than camped out in the basement with my laptop. Man I hate that thing. I can’t believe I paid $1,000 for it… but I digress.
You know what’s sad? I got to go to a mexican restaurant for lunch today, cause I needed some salsa to clear my system out (trust me, it really helps when you’ve got gunk in your throat). I ordered my favorite – a steak chimichanga – but guess what? I couldn’t eat it. 🙁 How sad is *that*?! I took one bite and immediately my jaw went insane. Apparently, I can’t chew steak anymore. I had to sit and stare at that beautiful chimi and eat nothing but chips and salsa. No wonder I’m so hungry right now.
But hey, it’s not all sad. Since I didn’t get to eat that, I decided I deserved chocolate. So I stopped at the grocery store on the way home to pick up my pals Ben and Jerry. Mmmm… chocolate fudge brownie… 😀 That solves all your problems, you know. That, and getting to drive your favorite car for the first time in nearly five weeks. Mmmmmm…. BMW engine purr…. 😀 I missed my baby. Haha, speaking of that, I was looking for a birthday card for a friend today at Target, and I found one that was so hilarious! It was a pity card to send to a friend going through a break-up (speaking of sadness, who sends a card for that?). It had a very retro-style drawing of car keys. On the inside it said something along the lines of:
“She realized that
she would no longer miss
his warm smile
or soft kisses.
The only thing she’d miss
was his Porsche.”
I love that! It’s hilarious! Tee hee hee. 😀
I’m going to get five free magazine subscriptions thanks to some 500 airline miles I also got for free from American Airlines. I got something about it in the mail. I don’t have to pay anything, I just get five free magazines if I redeem the 500 miles. I’m peachy with that, since I hardly ever fly on American and I got those miles for nothing anyway. The magazine choices were limited, so I’m getting fluff that I normally wouldn’t get: Elle Decor, Town & Country, MIT/Technology Review (okay, so that’s not fluff…), Modern Bride (definite fluff), and last but not least, Travel & Leisure. I’m rather excited about it, I like magazines. I only wish they offered Architectural Digest. I *love* that one. It’s all so pretty. This month they’re featuring exotic hotels and houses around the world. They have a whole article on my favorite hotel ever, the one in Bora Bora! It’s loooovely. Wouldn’t that be the absolute best honeymoon spot *ever*? Need to start saving, though, because holy crap would that be a costly trip. But it’d be worth it.
Time to go eat now.
