Daily Diary – January 4 2011

Well the TMJ did not get better this morning. In fact, it was so bad that I didn’t think I could make it through the day. I called my doctor as soon as they opened and he squeezed me into his lunch hour. By then, I’d already had 4 advil and I wasn’t feeling any better. After the visit, I already felt a little better right away and then gradually my pain got better and better. I still have it a bit but it’s considerably duller. Unfortunately, he said it might be the pushups so I’m not allowed to do them for a while.

Here are some smiley shots from the little one.

I love that the Christmas lights are still in the background.

And I tried to get David to smile, too but he’s still got that awkward one.

Though I did get this.

Today wasn’t so productive so I am going to try to catch up a little tonight. Do one more layout for CHA and then do my portrait. I’ve been making those nightly. Got eight so far. They are getting better but I still have a long way to go. This month’s focus is all CHA though. I have about 12-15 projects to do at least. So I better get to it. And David and I finished our book today so tomorrow we start a new one. Yey.

Ok I will go get to work. I hope this Tuesday has treated you well.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am deeply grateful that the doctor squeezed me in. He skipped his lunch to let me come. It was very kind.
2. I am grateful that I feel much more optimistic than I did this morning and that I get to play with so many beautiful products for CHA. I am a truly lucky gal.
3. I am grateful that I have even more fun stuff coming down the road. This year has started off busy but I am trying to pace it all and make sure it doesn’t get out of hand. One step at a time, right?

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that i am not sick like Maggie is {* his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I got to work on my science book (solving a question)
3. I am grateful that I did a page on my animal book (cottontail bunny)
