Another accident

My car is red and you would think red for stop...not. It's a target for cars/trucks to hit. Thursday Jan 29 i had the 8th accident in my red Ford escort sport. Wow 8 accidents in 11 years. Thankfully, only one was a major accident but all the other accidents had reagrevated my neck and i've had some form of wiplash with them.




This happened on my way to work, i was in a yield to turn right onto 51st and didn't try to proceed into traffic cause of the slippery roads but apparently the truck behind me thought i was going so he was going to beat the oncoming traffic too. He hit me hard. Get out of the truck and low and behold i see a familiar face our service manager to be exact. I've worked with him for 5 years so crazy that he hit me. The car is getting assessed on Thurs. All i know is that i am replacing this car. Not sure with what yet. My thoughts before the accident was to get a SUV hybrid but don't know if my budget will allow this right now, but maybe it will.

Finally got started on my new finances today. Still need to finish the month of January. More bills to post and then i need to reconcile the accounts. - i went totally overboard for my finances this year. I'm using my simply accounting program and running my life like a small company. Everything gets recorded. But at least then i can track much better.

Trying again

I commit to updating this blog once every two weeks. I'm not going crazy, babysteps people. I'm not so good as a blogger, i'm a good reader of other people's blogs.

Update on my life for this new year. The roommate and i have not found a roommate. The roommate decided about 3 weeks ago she was ready to give up and was willing to pay only 1/2 rent/utilites. She told me before Christmas and told me not to make my decision immediately. Well in my mind the decision was made immediately. Oh this could mean i could maybe get my bead room back, we could then make the downstairs the workout area and could take over the entire kitchen. (granted one cupboard for isn't a lot but more fridge space bonus) I let the newspaper run for Jan 3 and Jan 5 and wouldn't you know, no phonecalls at all. I checked on Monday and the ad was in the paper. The universe decided, well actually both of us decided in my minds, that we were fine and wanted to take over this entire duplex.
Now my mind is running with how do i move all my beads, computer desk and surrounding paperwork into the upstairs spare room and keep it slightly organized while doing it. My computer desk is a complete mess with piles everywhere and some piles yet to organize. **I'll post pic here later**

Oh another interesting fact today. I went to physical therapist for my jaw. I have a slight TMJ problem. It's the disc above my jawbone ball that is getting out of place that causes my jaw to lock sometimes. Amazing how he determined it, his fingers in my mouth and all. When he was checking it out i felt the sore muscles and how the right side hurt more. The treatment is to see him 3 times this month, in which he will stretch it out and will give me some stretched to do on my own. After these 3 treatments we will reassess and determine if more treatments are needed or if we can wait about 3 weeks till the next visit. Looks like i will be seeing him for about a year, as it is a treatable problem but not a fast fix problem. He mentioned if we don't do anything about this problem i could have more problems and arthristis could start to form.

Today marks another exciting moment in my brother's life. He is flying to Australia to start his one year visa. He leaves Phi Phi today or was it yesterday...this damn timechange i don't get it yet.



Next post - resolutions.

Update

Running
Boy last night's run sucked. Last time i ran was Nov 5 and my pace was very slow. My shin had pains with every walking step, it felt better to run. Finally half way into the run the instructor suggested a different stretch which helped the one shin but the other calf still was tight and the shin pain was still occuring in my walking. Hoping my next run will feel better. I also am going to test out my instructors theory that i run better in the morning. Haven't run in the morning since she made the comment.

Running update completed.

More to update as the day goes on.

Wednesday run & Thursday soccer

Boy it was too hot here in toontown. The run was killer, way to hot to run. Glad to say i am now 5-0 for the last runs for not taking unscheduled walk breaks. I also got my pushup challenge in 61 pushups done today. I am now starting day 1 of week 2 in onehundredpushups. They seem to be getting easier and if i take a longer break inbetween sets it seems even easier to do.

Had soccer game tonight - i had fans yah me. Melissa came out and so did the "Bear" family. OMG was O-Bear the cutest and getting the ball when it came near for the girls to throw in. I was impressed that he stayed for the whole game. Think maybe i have a little interest of soccer in him now. This Saturday O-bear and me have a play date. If the weather is nice we are going to the spray park then blow bubbles and i think i might need to kick the soccer ball around with him. Looks like i should go purchase to walmart and get a small soccer ball or soft like ball.
