Project Me

Archive for the ‘Project Me’ Category

Don’t get excited, there aren’t actually ten easy steps and if there are it’s not a good idea for me to count right now.

I had this whole blog planned about how amazing my day ways and how super proud I am of Greg with his first corporate talk to Standard Bank. I was going to gush at  how they just adored him and want him to talk at other branches but how I’m not one bit surprised, because my best friend just rocks. Read the rest of this entry »

Today is the first day in nearly a month that I’ve been able to work without the nagging ache of my back disturbing my focus and tampering with my passion. That happened just in time because I’ve needed a bit of a firmer support with all the going’s on between my life and Greggies.

Where to begin. Read the rest of this entry »

I have 15 minutes to blog before my weekly dose of TV shows and my butt goes numb. The only reason why that’s a crisis is because I’ve been a social hermit for the past few weeks and now I’m finding myself having to catch up on a lot of ‘Hello’s’.

I’m sitting and not complaining about my sore back. Isn’t that amazing? Okay, I can’t overdo it but today I can feel that I’m partially human and that everything is going to be alright.  Do you know how exciting that is? Read the rest of this entry »

I have officially had one of the most frustrating days. Not of ‘project me’, but of my whole life. Yes, the drama is a-flow but I’m venting.
In trying to heal my back, I need to move but I’m not allowed to drive. I have this terrible issues that lingers where I already hate asking people to do things for me. It takes a lot to actually suck it all in and say I need to be taken care of a bit. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s either the ice pack and the anti inflammatories or it’s great company but I have actually been able so sit for long enough to feel human enough to write. It’s a moment of feeling good and I know I have a long way to go, but I can see the end of the rainbow when I know that I was able to be out and active for a whole day and actually be able to sit.

The one thing I knew I would have to do if I was going to blog about my life, was be totally honest with everyone around me because I will never know who is reading this. Read the rest of this entry »

I thought I was having a good day considering I had a freak bout of insomnia last night. I used it to my advantage and wrote more than half of a newstime article about it when I returned from the chiro. She thinks I’m doing great and totally spotted my A-type personality when I told her yuck I was feeling because I couldn’t put in more hours of work. Funny that, I’m still getting a decent amount done. I get to go to gym and walk on the treadmill at least, but she told me that I”m not allowed to lie on the couch or in bed too long. That sucks, it’s not so sore there but apparently that isn’t always a good sign. Read the rest of this entry »

The past few days have been the official pinnacle of frustration along my fun journey that started 244 days ago. It’s all good and well to be conscious about life and look at every situation until you find the good and the fun it but when pain is involved it’s a totally different mindset.

Jeez pain does funny things to the mind. I’m giving it till tomorrow and then I’m going to have to take another course of action. Honestly, the only thing that is bugging me is that I’m going to run out of my medical allowance, which should be the least of my worries. Read the rest of this entry »

Jodene is excused from blogging on day 243 due to the serious damage she did to her back from being a total workaholic. She’s being a good girl and resting though …

I woke up to the little voice of my nephew saying “Ssssh, Aunty Jo is sleeping!” Alright, he was shouting it about a baby step away from me, but I can’t deny that isn’t not a precious way to wake up. The downside is that by aching back was too sore to even stretch out for morning hugs and kisses. I knew that today was totally about surrendering to the situation and not moving from the house.

That’s literally where the pain has settled itself. I feels like I’m sitting on it and when I told the chiro I felt as though a sumo wrestler should sit on, she didn’t think that was the wisest idea. I feel as though I’m running out of ideas but she seems to have faith for the both of us that my body will heal.

It’s a pity that there aren’t other remedies for the other types of pain in the butt that I have to deal with. Like:

When I’m stressed I cough. It’s this type of asthma thing that I chose as an additional kicker with all the other drama in my life. So my butt hurts like hell, but when I cough it feels as though someone whacks me in the ass with a hammer. So I try not cough because of the pain but the whole back issue is making me cough because of the stress it’s causing … pain in the butt.

I’m most comfortable lying down and have finally discovered the only couch in the house that totally relieves my back and that I can balance my laptop nicely on my knees while my feet are supported on the armrest. Yay four the thought of hours of writing again … if only the chiro hadn’t have burst my bubble and told me that lying flat all day is the worst thing for my back … damn, pain in the butt.
