Holiday Schedules Rock. Unfortunately, I Don't....

I started work!  Half days but its nice to be back and have a reason to wear makeup again!  Friday was my first day back, as expected huge computer problems...they took my computer off the network because I've been gone so long.  Sounds simple to fix but trust me, anytime IT gets involved, you're doomed.  My name is still on the door and I still have the keys to my company truck so I guess I haven't been fired, so that's good.  Everyone has been really nice to me, one of the shop managers brought me a lovely Norfolk Pine decorated with little wood ornaments as a welcome back gift.  I was back on Friday, weekend off.  Worked Monday 4 hours, Christmas Eve and Christmas off, work 2 days then the weekend off, then New Years Eve and New Year's day off.  Not a bad way to get back into the working groove!  

I've been sitting on a big red excercise ball at work.  I think it makes our claims guy nervous, he looked uncomfortably at it and offered me a chair. Aahhmmm, no... I promise I won't just fall over and file a claim against the Company, it's all good.  Anyway, I was feeling a lot more acheyness in my back over the weekend, not pain just a general awareness that my back felt different, even at night.  Just a soreness.  I couldn't figure out why because I haven't done anything differently that I could think of.  

I went to my PT appointment today and told him about my generally acheyness, after some thought and discussion he said its probably my big red excercise ball. The continuous rebalancing for the 45 minutes or so I sat before getting up and staggering about was probably the cause.  Hmm, ok I can accept that explaination.  He said I could still use it but get up more frequently. 

Well, that's the news. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.  I'll be busy baking something, crocheting, or butchering a much loved guitar classic!

Up and about with the new guitar.
