Neck pain and popcorn...

Well.... was supposed to go run 8 miles today... but my neck had a different idea...

So, last night, I totally tweaked my neck (again). You'll never guess in a million years how I did it. Well, all I did was walk into the computer room, and as I did, I looked up an angle at the time on the microwave and must have strained it just enough to almost make my cry when I looked back straight ahead.

Nope, no major work out, no wrestling with Jeromy, not working hard at work, not lifting any thing heavy... just innocently looked up at the time. The pain almost knocked me to my knees.

So last night I slept miserably :o( ya, you can feel sorry for me. Spent most of the day trying to sleep the pain away. Didn't work. Finally went to urgent care where they gave me some muscle spasm-reducer medicine and some pain killers.

I called my mom, while waiting to get my prescription filled, to get the sympathy I needed and they were just taking Jade out to the Olive Garden. They told me to come right over! So I got my prescription filled and headed straight over. The Parmesan encrusted tilapia really did help mom and dad- thanks again for dinner.

So I headed back home and I'm going to rest the rest of the night. Dealing with the pain in my neck for so long finally gave me a raging headache on top of the neck pain. But the medicine is stronger! I feel better, but I can still feel the underlying pain. The doctor was talking about working "light duty" at work- I don't think so scooter, can't do that. My job's not that physically demanding- most of the time. I just work alot of hours.

Ok, enough of the neck pain talk- you probably want to know how popcorn fits into this blog.

So Jade and Kent got one of those cute little popcorn makers from their grandma Claire, we've been wanting one of these for a while, so we thought we'd try it out tonight!

Man I thought we got a dud- turns out I put double the amount of oil needed. Woopsies- let's try that again....

Can you hear the pop-pop-pop??? I love popcorn...

Fills up the bottom of the tray, which pulls out...

Looks pretty good, eh??

Ok, time to go work on my Bible study for a while, then on to get a good night sleep... I hope!
