Stupid Ohio weather...both my ass and my pride are bruised. I took a spill on the ice while trying to leave work yesterday. They hadn't salted our lots at all and there was black ice covered by about 4" of snow. Bruised my tailbone, pulled some muscles, got all wet and covered in mud on the way to a meeting...it was super fun. It hurt so badly that I laid in the snow and cried for a minute. I am just lucky it happened so fast that I didn't try to catch myself. If I had, I probably would have broken a wrist or something. And since I fell AT work, I had to go see Employee Health Services this morning. I have muscle relaxers and pain killers now...my bum, back, shoulder, and neck are still hurting me, but the meds are making it tolerable. I have instructions to come back Monday if the pain is still at the same level or if it gets worse...it will be x-rays then searching for fractures or breaks. Not that anything can be done if I broke my tailbone...they'll just make me sit on a donut-shaped pillow for 6-8 weeks. (Been there, done that, when I got thrown off a horse about 12 years ago).

Overall, my week has been crap. Dustin spent literally ALL week shouting. I went to hang out with boys to watch football...that caused problems. I had to work 12 hours on Monday and Tuesday - while she was home alone, the puppy ate his couch (she already chewed a hole in mine last weekend)...that caused problems. Everything I did this week was a reason to yell at me. I was trying to explain his behavior to a friend of mine and the best thing I could come up with is that he's like a child with his toys. The child doesn't want the old toy anymore because they found newer, shinier toys. But then they don't want anyone else to play with their old toy either. So, whenever I spend time with someone else, he gets jealous and mad and throws a temper tantrum. The good news is that he has been nice and quiet since I broke my bum yesterday. But that could be because I can barely walk up the stairs and he's being nice out of pity.

Puppy-from-hell is getting fixed next Friday. Hooray!!! Hopefully, that will chill her out a little bit. At least for a couple days while she is recovering.

Class is going well this quarter. I have multiple projects I am working on for my marketing class and they're taking up a sizable chunk of time. I understand the importance of marketing, but I am SO bored by it. And the instructor has yet to teach us a thing. I am pretty sure his entire lesson plan says "work on projects" because that's all we do - get into our groups and work on projects.

I am just going to sit in this weekend and try to feel better. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
