Today was my birthday. 36 years old. Holy crap, probably half-way to death, lol. It was a pretty good birthday; busy as usual.

I volunteered at Ealy Elementary for the Book Fair from 9-12. Heather & Taylor each picked out a book, I picked up a couple of stocking stuffers, and got a few cheap books for daycare kids for Christmas.

I've been feeling crappy for the past couple of days. Achy, a little nauseated, and my sinuses hurt. I think it's a touch of the flu, only I'm not getting it full-force because I got a flu shot this year. Also, the last few weeks I've had terrible acid reflux. So far, Tums pretty much takes care of it, although sometimes I have to chew a couple every couple of hours because it just won't go away. I've got to get back to the gym to try to lose weight; I know that's alot of my problem. Although I still have to take it easy at the gym; between having carpel tunnel surgery and then I got tendinitis in my elbow of the opposite arm. Over-compensation at the gym is what the doctor said, because I was pushing harder with my left arm and strained it. Honestly, getting old sucks!!

I then went and voted. It only took about 15 minutes to get through, so not too bad. And I got a sticker!! lol

Yesterday was my last physical therapy for my carpel tunnel surgery. I didn't think the therapy was going to do much good; I just didn't have faith in it. But I've changed my mind; the incision actually feels much better. I had alot more scar tissue than normal, and more pain in it than normal, too. Guess I'm a slow healer, so the therapy helped alot.

I then went to Wal-Mart for paint for the fence in the front yard. Notice I said for paint, but walked out with clearance Halloween stuff. How can I say no to cheap stuff? lol

I went to class from 6-9:40. Intro to ECE class. I had a book presentation to give. Basically I did circle time with my class. It went well, I think. I got my mid-term grade back; I got an 85 out of 100. I'm averaging an 88% in the class, so I'm pretty happy with that.

Came home and tried to do some work, but I was feeling crappy. I fell asleep on the couch with Critter, watched Barack Obama's acceptance speech and John McCain's concession speech. It was about 12:00 a.m. when I fell asleep during Obama's speech. Sorry, but my patriotism was tired, lol.
