Yowza. The leg is probably the worst it's ever been today. Even sitting hurts. But for some reason I feel like I need to tough it out until the MRI on Friday before asking if I can take something....anything! Tylenol even!....for the pain. Makes me unsure if I really do want a piriformis syndrome diagnosis....maybe a fusion would actually be an easier, quicker answer. Both options suck.

Am also crazy bored today. I definitely should have called in sick. Nothing is going on and I can't stand sitting here all day doing random filing just to give me something to do and try not to think about the pain in my leg. I also came to the realization today that if I didn't get up and actually go talk to people, I could literally sit here alone all day without speaking to anyone in the office except to say good morning and good night to the receptionist. It's gotten to the point now where my coworker and I rarely have lunch together any more as she always has some errand to run, etc. so I literally spend my entire day alone. I hate it. I really need a more public job.

On the one positive front in my life right now, the weight loss project is going pretty well. I lost 3 pounds last week. If I could lose 7 more before the beach, I would reach the first goal I set on WW when I joined. And I think I would definitely look better in my bathing suits. Sadly, I am the only woman in my family who will not be needing to buy a new suit this year because all her old ones are too small, but I'm trying to ignore that and concentrate on just being comfortable in my old ones.

I'm also really looking forward to the beach because, with the LeBlancs coming too this year, there should be all kinds of extra options of people to do things with, talk to, etc. Which should definitely help buffer some of our own family drama. Four more weeks....can I make it without killing any lawyers, amputating my own leg or starving to death? We'll see!
