Guess I sort of took a break this week. Hence the lack of posts regarding the grocery challenge. I’ve been tackling other areas of my life this week and haven’t really spent hardly any time on the computer. Think I will “mass update” my site this weekend, so come back and check the site then for updates.
My car wreck injuries are a little better on the whole. My back and neck are feeling much better. However, my chest is a completely different story. It still hurts constantly. It’s turned from a sore feeling to a feeling like someone is pressing very hard continuously at my sternum. Not a good feeling at all! My shoulders are still clicking when I move them and they feel weak. The insurance is calling me back in a few weeks (estimated time for my seat belt injury to feel better according to doctor) to discuss compensation…hope they do me right. I am in hell right now!
This weekend is going to be very busy for me. I have to update my site with a whole week’s worth of grocery challenge posts. Plus I need to do about 6 lessons for the InDesign class I am taking. With the exception of Sunday morning CVS shopping, I will be at home at my computer all weekend. What’s up with the rest of you lot?

I was trying to sleep this afternoon and it was going great for about 30 minutes. Then Pepper was like “wake up Mommie”. She got really close to me and kept staring at me, so I took a picture of her staring at me. I do love my little girl even if she wakes me up during my “trying to relax and deal with car wreck pain” nap.
Soon after this picture she calmed down again and we were both off to sleep. Then Darlene calls to check up on me and we talk for a bit, which was great. Then I fall back asleep with Pepper. A few minutes after being asleep Eban comes in and starts talking about his upseting phone calls with AT&T. I decide to take this as a sign and get out of bed. So, I am going to work on my coupon book for the next hour or so and try to find something to listen to on the radio or the internet.

Went to the urgent care unit at Rex yesterday to get my car wreck injuries checked out. They took lots of x-rays of my chest, neck and abdomen to make sure nothing was fractured. Good news is nothing is fractured. Bad news is the doctor said the pain, soreness and stiffness I am feeling in these areas will likely last a bit longer. With regards to my back, he told me to stretch to help relieve some of the stiffness. Not sure if it’s related to the car wreck or not, but I have been having bowel challenges since the wreck too which is really strange. So, I will increase fiber the next few days to see if that helps. Oh and another concerning thing was the fact that my blood pressure was really high. I’ve always had normal blood pressure (get it check several times a year). The doctor thinks it may be due to the pain I am feeling.
He gave me two prescriptions. One for pain and flexirol for the stiffness. As soon as I finish writing this post, I will go to the pharmacy and get my meds. Oh the joy…these constant reminders of that stupid lady slamming into us is starting to get really really old already.

My morning and early afternoon was very busy, so we opted for sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. I went to Harris Teeter to take advantage of the double coupon event and I got some good deals! I will post about them Monday when I do my weekly recap on grocery spending for this week. Had highs and lows today.
Lows: Was stressed out most of the day waiting to hear back from Allstate regarding whether or not they were going to accept liability for my car wreck. When I was leaving Target I locked the keys for the stupid rental car in the trunk. Had to call AAA to get car unlocked and that was an additional $61 to our rental car fees. Was late in picking up Eban because of the keys and he had really wanted to get off on time.
Highs: Got great deals at HT double coupon event. Got 6 Kashi Cereal single servings for FREE at Target! Got 4 pairs of cute clearance socks at Target for $2.48 which was 75% off! FINALLY, I heard back from Allstate late in the afternoon and they accepted responsibility and are going to pay for me and my car to get fixed!
Breakfast and Lunch: Ham and Tomato Sandwich (ham and bread bought this week, everything else from stockpile)
Dinner: Mongolian-Style Beef with Peas and Carrots (from stockpile)
Snacks: Popcorn (AM Snack from stockpile) and Sugar Cookies x3 (PM Snack from stockpile)
