in pain

Remember when I tried to throw my Maddie dog in the hot tub? Well I think she injured my hip. I have been in so much pain with it for the past two weeks that I want to cry. I haven't even been able to sit up long enough to play my Facebook apps, and on Tuesday I had to have Bob come pick me up early from all day group.

I have a persuasive essay on a specific subject to write for U of P this week. I also have to put together the essay that my Learning Team has to turn in this week, and there are grammar quizzes again this week. I haven't done any of it and it is already Thursday and I think the persuasive essay is due today. Oh well. I'll get to it sooner or later, and an accomodation I have is to be able to turn in my assignments late. Thank goodness for small favors.

I did redo the one exam for Business Management and did the next exam. Figured out that I read the wrong chapter for the first exam, that's why I failed it. Oh well. This time I paid more attention to the assignment.

I haven't been working on my crafts since I have been hurting either. I just can't stand to sit upright for any length of time. I am even using my cane to walk.

I am going out to lunch with my Social Worker today. That should be interesting.

Not much else going on.

same old, same old

I haven't updated my blog lately as there really hasn't been much that has changed.

University of Phoenix Online has me running in circles. With going online I have to check in four days a week twice a day to get my participation grade. I also, with U of P Online, have a Learning Team Assignment this week. After this course, though, I am transferring to the Axia Online and will be taking two courses at a time for nine weeks but there will be no Learning Teams. I think I will do okay despite taking two classes at a time, and instead of it taking ten weeks to get six credits it will only take nine. That doesn't cut off much time but every little bit helps, right? The only other thing that kind of sucks about Axia is I can only go as high as an Associates through Axia. To get my Bachelor's and Master's that I want I will have to go back to campus or U of P online.

I haven't touched my Business Management course much. I did do the first Exam for Section Two of Part Two a few weeks ago, but I haven't touched it since. I really need to get more motivated on it.

I haven't been going to NA meetings as much as I should. I hope to change that in the coming week. Nothing else is going to keep going right in my life if I don't stay clean. I really am not supposed to talk about being an NA member in this type of setting as you may judge NA based on my actions. Know that I am not the poster child for NA, no member is, so please do not judge it based on one member.

I haven't been writing or reading about any of the stuff for the workbooks I am writing. Sadly my writing has taken a back burner to other obligations. I hope to change that in the future, but for now life has it put back there. I can do nothing but try to jot down ideas as they come for future reference.

Here's to hoping I can get my priorities back in order in the near future.

half stressing

I was so stressed out yesterday I wanted to go find a crack rock. I know that's not going to help me deal with school, but it is really stressing me out. With six chapters to read this week, along with five quizzes and a paper, plus a Learning Team paper, I don't know which way is up.

Having had this almost uncontrollable craving, I think I need to go to more meetings. There are other things I wish I could spend my time doing, but my recovery needs to come first otherwise everything else will just fall to pieces. I just wish I didn't feel like such a burden to Bob. He's the one that has to drive me all over hecks creation to get to the meetings.

Maddie ran off today. We have decided we have two choices: We can just let her run the neighborhood at will like most of the other dogs around, or we can put up a running cable outside the back door that she can be hooked to. We don't really need to keep the other dogs away from her saying that she is fixed. The only thing we would have to worry about is if other dogs are agressive. Of course, Maddie is a chicken and would readily submit to them, so I don't think we really have to worry about that.

I moved my computer back into my office and on the big desk. It was stressing me out a lot to not have a place where I could go and stretch out and relax where Bob isn't (hence why I couldn't use the living room). I'm keeping the small desk in there and will use it for offline endeavours. I need someplace I can go and not look at the computer thinking I should really be working on schoolwork or reviewing on WdC.

Hopefully things will get better now. I was waiting for my grade from the first week to see how bad I was doing and I got 100% for the first week, so that took
