My Odd Ailments, Pretty Necklace, and Concocting Dinner

Howdy!

My week was pretty eventful. Monday we had Martial Arts (as usual) and Tuesday I was supposed to volunteer, but I canceled because of my really horrible headache. Wednesday, Martial Arts again. Thursday we had two doctor appointments - the regular doc and the eye doc. First, we went to the regular doctor. All's well with Aly, except for some allergy's, but that's no biggie. Then, me. I told the doctor that I've been having a lot of problems with my left wrist (for those of you who go to Martial Arts, that's why I keep my wrist wrapped). She said that I have carpal tunnel. Now, when I sleep or type, I have to wear a wrist brace. Yes, fun, fun. It's really annoying, but it makes my wrist feel better, so that's a bonus.

Next, the eye doctor. As usual, everything is hunky-dory with Aly. Me? Well... everything is generally o.k. with my eyes, but I have to start wearing reading glasses. Even though I can still see, I have to wear them because there's muscle strain on my eyes. I might post up a pic or two of them once I get them. Mom says that I'm like an old lady - first the brace and now the reading glasses!

Friday we had a homeschool park meeting. Nothing happened really. And today, Saturday, nothing is going on. Aly went over to her friend's house and I was invited, but I politely declined. Then, I was invited to another get together thing tonight, but I politely declined that one too, because I still have to write an article and possibly get some schoolwork done. But, the first friend who's invitation I politely declined got me a present (I'm going to call her Luna, since she likes that name)! Luna went on a cross-country roadtrip with her grandparents and lil' sister for about 3 1/2 months in their RV. How cool is that??? While in Yellowstone, she got me a really, really, really, really, really pretty necklace. I was going to explain to you the whole necklace, but I'll just post a picture instead:


Here's a close-up of the little bear charm on it.


Here's the whole necklace.



Isn't it pretty?! Love it.

That's about it. Tonight, Mom is going to a party of her own, organized by the homeschool group. They sometimes do a "Mom's Night Out" get-together and that's where she's going! Dad, Aly and I are just going to stay at home and see what we can concoct for dinner. ;)
