I've turned out near the bottom of the compatibility lists for pretty much all of my friends. It makes me wonder if I'm the odd duck or if you all are just alike. *giggle* ;) And I believe I was showing up twice because of a duplicate account caused by an email problem on signup.. it's been deleted now.

Dr. Bob pretty much ruined my day. I worked this morning until time to leave for my appointment. He apparently decided that it was time to stop fooling around with pokey things that hurt and go with all-out torture. Actually, I would have said yesterday that the pokey things (kinda like clickable pens that he releases on my back and shoulders and neck) were pretty daggone painful, but it was a walk in the park compared to this. He was pressing on my shoulder. Apparently, there are these little trigger points that develop when the shoulder has been mistreated, and you seem to need to dispel those knots to get the thing to heal properly. (Read more about them.) He claimed that what he did was the most effective way to treat them, plus some stretches and stuff. It was awful. I had a hard time remembering to breathe and lay face down on the table without pulling away from him. I was very nicely calm and collected through the rest of the visit and while turning in my chart and saying goodbye to everyone, but I was in tears by the time I got to the car, and I was home for some time before I calmed down again. It stopped hurting after he stopped, but it was somewhat traumatic and lingering. It's sore now.. feels like it's been badly bruised, but there are no marks. My next visit is Friday.. if he does it again, I might hit him. Can't believe that I let him do that and worse yet--I paid him for it! Argh!

It was extremely rainy this morning, which meant that business at the store was minimal, so I didn't need to go back after the doctor visit to work. I stayed home and felt sorry for myself instead.. laugh. I got our banking done and washed the sheets. Ugh, haven't put them back on the bed. I didn't even accomplish much other than that, but the house was pretty decent from last night's bout of productivity.

When my inlaws were here for our wedding, they had a hard time accepting what a trailer looks like. The picture that they had in mind was a much smaller, much dinkier thing and they were very surprised at how nice-looking and large some of them can be. We further gained from this when his best friend was over for a vacation.. we took him to a trailer sales lot and went through some empty units. They really are quite nice, but still, when we talk to certain friends, they insist that they know exactly what a trailer is like and would never dream of living in one. Now I'm not saying that it's the optimal living solution, but ours is twice the size of the house Magnus had in Sollentuna, plus we have our own yard, no apartment complex with neighbors just next door, etc etc. Looking forward to a house, but since we bought this place for approximately the same amount of money that Magnus sold a 40 year old Volvo for and haven't paid a dime in rent in the time since... not too bad, eh? Funny how these people never seem to get that.

I found out yesterday that a friend of my Dad's pays taxes on almost $5 million of land in two or three counties, which was rather fascinating.. I knew that he had money, but I wouldn't have imagined that he had that much. He has property that he hasn't seen in two years. And would you fine folks like to guess where he lives? You got it.. he moved out of his house and into a brand-new doublewide trailer a couple of weeks ago. ;) I rest my case.
