I had my first chiropractor appointment today. She observed my idiosyncrasies (right hip higher than left, abnormal movement of back when bending, apparently my neck is cray-cray when I close my eyes and bring my head to eye level...weird). I had my first ever readjustment, folks...hips were popped in, spine was popped, neck was crunched (weird weird weird...how many times can I use that word when speaking of this readjustment business? The human body is a strange thing, people.). Following on lab work also, she had me pick up some good ole Vitamin D at the pharmacy...it will help maintain bone health, and, oh I don't know, maybe boost my seasonal low energy? Maybe? One can be hopeful... I wouldn't necessarily say I have SAD, at least not anything nearly severe as what I know other people experience it, but I have been staying as close to the windows as possible during the day all winter just to attempt to soak in that little bit of sunlight to boost my mood. Apparently I'm below the low range for Vitamin D, so I'll be taking a somewhat high dosage.
Anywho, now that I've bored you with that update...
Honeymoon/birthday were awesome! Splendid! Wonderful! Restful! We went to our lovely friends' wedding, went to a movie on my birthday, hit up the Mall of America, and for a post-birthday treat for me, since museums apparently are not open on Mondays, we went to the Minnesota History Museum on our last day (I'm such a nerd...). We came back on Thursday and had a bit of a stay-cation for the last three days before today. Ah. Lovely lovely.
School starts up this week. Mostly just introducing yourself to all of the other online peeps at this point. I'll be taking Synoptic Gospels and Fundamental Moral Theology I, my last two core classes. I figure that way I can finish off school with a summer semester of fun electives. It looks like the Synoptic Gospels class will be mostly Lectio Divina, which is interesting...I've never really been graded on Lection Divina...? We shall see how it goes.
I'm glad that you are doing well! That's really cool that the Synoptic Gospels class will be mostly Lectio Divina, but I'm totally confused at how that can/will be graded. Hope it goes well!
ReplyDeleteAlso, receiving chiropractic care is super weird! There were a few years where I frequently went to a chiropractor, and I'd usually feel great afterwards, but during the appointment--oh my. They'd tell me, "Just relax now"--and them BAM~ whip my head around to crunch my neck and that kind of thing. Like you can relax when you know your head and neck will move in impossible ways haha.
Have a beautiful beginning of your week!
haha yeah I relaxed well enough when she popped my neck one way, but after that I tensed up because OH MY GOSH HOW CAN MY NECK POP THAT MUCH, and she had trouble getting me to relax for when she popped it the other way. Actually, it was funny, when she popped my back at one point I started giggling because it was such a weird sensation, and she kinda laughed with a "how was that funny, that wasn't really funny" laugh.
