I've decided that this blog site really needs an overhaul. I would be more inspired to write in it if I actually enjoyed looking at the page itself. What was I thinking with this gray business? Be on the lookout for a snazzier design soon.
It is officially "the busy season" (or the "b.s." as certain non-accountant friends like to refer to it as) and work is in full swing. This time of year can be taxing (no pun intended) and overwhelming at times, but it's really what we work all year towards. This is the "big show" so to speak. I have been a bit out of touch recently due to the long hours, but we file on February 27th, so life will be back to normal shortly thereafter.
In other news, please be praying for my jaw - I have dealt with TMJ in the past, but recently it has come back with a vengance. I think the stress of the season is getting to me. I woke up last Sunday with my jaw locked shut and couldn't get it open until Monday night. I visited my TMJ doctor and he is making me a new splint, but it won't be available until early March. Meanwhile I'm getting by with muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory meds, but I don't enjoy taking medicine, so it's a bit burdonsome. My jaw is still locked every morning when I wake up, but I normally can get it open with a little massage and heat. Today though, it's being cranky and is staying stiff for some reason. Looks like we might have another soup day on our hands.
Final thoughts - today is going to be a great day (despite the jaw). I am using today as a day to reclaim my sensibilities by doing some cleaning, resting, and recovering. I am about to go make a cup of coffee and dive into finishing up some long neglected laundry and vaccuming. Then, later tonight, me and the roomates are going to have a pow-wow to plan our long awaited vacation! It's pretty exciting :) Oh, and most importantly, I plan to spend some good time with the Lord today. I have definitely let that fall to the wayside in the past couple of weeks, and that is just a shame. God deserves so much more of me.
Here's to quiet days of rest and relaxation - I havn't been giving anyone my best lately, and I need to make sure that changes, starting tomorrow. Today I will do the legwork to get there :)
Love y'all - Cher
