The good news is that my notebook is perfect and lovely. I even realized that I could tear some pages out of the flower journal, trim the pages, punch them, and add them to the new notebook.<br \/>\nI remembered that I had a rolodex punch from my days at Daedalus. I dug it out, and it works perfectly for adding pages. Okay, so I have to punch it 7 times, but I already own it. I wanted to keep the spending very low until I was certain that this is what I want to do. I may eventually get a punch from Levenger&#8217;s, but this seems quite perfect for now. Now I just need to transfer information over from the old notebook so that I don&#8217;t have to carry them both around.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/graphics\/camera\/2005\/09\/28-punch.jpg\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"21\" vspace=\"21\">On to the doctor. I did something to my back. AGAIN. I don&#8217;t remember doing anything. In fact, I&#8217;ve been overly careful, and while my sister was here, I didn&#8217;t lift anything. She carried all the stuff that needed carrying. Whatever it is, it came on very fast this time. I feel like someone is poking a fork into my lower back and twirling it so the muscles knot around it and tighten (like you&#8217;d twirl spaghetti on that fork). <\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t even get to the office till 1, and within 30 minutes, I knew I was in deep trouble. I called the doctor, and through some miracle, they had an opening at 1:40. So I went off to the doctor, who gave me prescriptions for Flexeril and Darvocet. She also said I had to go get x-rays and do physical therapy. :( The x-ray tech was very nice, and while it was very, very uncomfortable, it wasn&#8217;t as bad as the last time. No word on the x-rays till the doctor sees them though.<\/p>\n<p>After all that, I went back to the office. Partly because I knew that if I went home, I would just go back to bed, but also because I knew that my notebook was out for delivery, and I wanted it. I didn&#8217;t last till 6:30 though. I left around 5. It just hurts too much, and I couldn&#8217;t think. Took a nap when I got home, then I got up to play with my cute notebook. <\/p>\n<p>I sure hope that the drugs start working soon. It&#8217;s hard to walk around in the house. How on earth can I walk around the office? It&#8217;s really painful and hard :(<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My beautiful, cute, new Circa journal arrived today, while I was at the doctor&#8217;s office over my horrible back problems (more on that later).
