Another delayed post

You know what that means!

This weekend was packed with just about everything fun! Well...mostly fun! I got to spend time with my friends, catch up on things and squeeze in an Ithaca trip to watch the Jones UFC 140 fight! People at work think I'm crazy for going out after working such long hours, but I have to have a life! I figure that I spend literally half of my life at work. That's 26 weeks out of the year. I spend more time with people I work with, than I do with my family and friends. So there's my number one reason, to bite the bullet and squeeze in some super fun adventures!

I'm surprised at how fast this week has gone by. There have been tons of crazy patients, and worst of all we had a full moon with a freaking lunar eclipse on Saturday...UGH! Marissa was heading back to Brooklyn for week, so I had to squeeze in as much time as I could with her. Even though most of my friends will be back next week, I try and spend as much time as possible with them. I drove up to Ithaca on Saturday, nuts right? I had no problems getting there, it was nice just to relax and spend fight night with great familiar faces. 

This weekend was a bit weird for me. I'm starting to notice I'm not craving the stuff I used to. Usually, the weekends are pretty bad as far as food is concerned. Custom is to order out. Big bad ideas. It's usually Chinese, Italian, or bar food. Everyone got their grub this weekend, and it really didn't bother me too much. My schnozer is changing too. Certain smells of food don't appeal to me anymore. It's crazy, but fruit and vegetables taste better to me now!? How does that work? 

Crossing my fingers that this weeks weigh in will be better. I just don't want to gain anything. My back has been hurting me pretty bad lately. We do a lot of lifting and sliding around patients and it is definitely catching up with me. I've been working for five years and I can already feel how jacked up my back is. I'm afraid to go to the chiropractor...I've heard horror stories. I guess it's supposed to get work before it gets better? Is that true? Is anyone else terrified of getting their necks and backs twisted, and that you'll JERK the moment they twist it and then YOU DIE?! Maybe I'm exaggerating, but my plan is to take it easy on my week off. If it doesn't stop hurting, maybe I'll get a massage and when all else fails...go to get twisted like a pretzel. EEEEEEK!

Christmas is next week, how did this happen?!
