this is my first weekend back into things - and finally a weekend to put my in a good mood in the midst of all my back issues.
friday: after being up until 4am in pain, i went into work to confirm that i would be off work until the new year - unfortunately i went into work last week, and my chiropractor said i set myself back about a week and a half by going in. so i went into work to have some blood work done (in order to book my CT scan appointment), and then spoke with my manager about remaining work. It was tough for me, as being immobile and non-social is really tough for me. i went home, and cleaned, packed, finished up some stuff for the party the next day.
Saturday: woke up late (clearly needed the sleep), and packed more, showered, and waited for my friend to pick me up. took the long ride to waterloo, where we had our annual 'triple threat' party. triple threat started in university, when i was the only girl who hung out with my group of guy friends - except for two other girlfriends. we became the three girls who were always there... triple threat. the three of us planned get togethers, parties, grad dinners, and holiday celebrations. now, every year, we have a holiday party with all the university guys (and us) - we're no longer the only 3 girls, but we have all stuck together throughout the years. AND we wear matching outfits. this year was sequins.
this year we also were inducting someone into triple threat - jake's gf kim. multiple tests of strength, dancing, and drinking were required. it was a fantastic night - as it always is.
sunday: woke up late (i got a bed, because i was one of the 'cripples') and had some breakfast - then drove home with a few drop offs... and spent the rest of the day at home, watching movies, and cleaning.
as we approach the holidays (though Hanukkah is over now), it gets busier and busier, and harder and harder to see friends and family. so enjoy all the moments - this was the last weekend until Christmas... I can't believe it!
