Tired For Good Reasons

I am so tired. I started a new job last week. Instead of getting up around 7:30 - 8:00, I now have to get up at 6:00. I cannot get used to this new sleep pattern. Hopefully, I will get used to this soon. I really love my new job. It's a lot different than my old job. I have a ton of stuff to do. I never sit around being bored. I don't have time to be bored. This is good - the days fly by.
Thanksgiving was good. Lloyd and I went to the beach with his family. We were there Wed - Sun. Lloyd and I got the luxury of sleeping on these tiny bunk beds. Seriously, you couldn't roll over - you would fall off. I was really missing my bed and my shower by Sunday. I hate showering in public bath houses. Needless to say, one of the first things I did when we got home was take a hot shower.
So with the new job and a few restless nights over the holidays, I am so tired. All I wanna do is sleep. But there's more work to do. Maybe I'll get some rest this coming weekend. Who knows.

This Woman's Work

Some of you may know that I'm becoming a CSI fan. Lloyd and I watch it every chance we get. Lloyd cannot stand Sara (one of the characters). However, I really like her. I think she is one of the strong characters in the show. Here another thing that Lloyd may not know: "This Woman's Work" is one of my favorite songs right now. I don't know why, but I like it. And I really like this video.

I love this man

I love my husband so much. Word cannot express how I feel about Lloyd. He's everything I need and more.

Here's one thing that Lloyd and Halo Kitty has in common. They both enjoy Halo.

They made a cartoon about my husband!

When Stress Hurts

I would like to think of myself as someone who can roll with the punches. However, my body is singing a different tune. I have been really stressed out the past few weeks. Nothing major - just normal things that life throws your way every once in a while. I try my best to manage my stress, but sometimes the stress gets the best of me.
All of my life, my stress and tension makes a comfy home on my shoulders. There are times the knots get so big I can barely lift my arms. It even hurts when I try to massage them out with hot water. It hurts so bad that I can't even let Lloyd rub them for me. However, the knots have gotten a lot worse over the past few weeks. My shoulders are in constant pain and the pain is move up to my neck. On top of that, I'm really tired and I'm having headaches every other day. I know it's stress. However, I have never been so stressed that it begins to hurt.
I don't know what to do with the pain. I keep taking Advil to help me, but I don't want to become dependent on Advil. I wish I was able to take a day off to rest and not do a thing. Oh wouldn't that be nice. Not to worry about a thing at all. My toughest decision would be "Should I watch Golden Girls or Reba?" Until then, I guess I'll do what I've done before. Wait for the pain to go away.
