What did you do today?

[Animedragon]

I noticed that the sunny weather we had this morning had dried out the grass, so this afternoon I set out to mow the lawn, although it would be more accurate to say I attacked the lawn as the grass had got a bit long.

I spent most of my morning in the ER. Woke up with my neck being in a lot of pain but decided to go to school anyways when my Bio professor told me I needed to go to the ER, so found out I have a neck sprain. Not sure how I did that unless I hurt it when I fell off the boat last week. Now I have a neck brace, anti-inflammatories, and pain meds. Can't look up, down, to the side without being in pain lol Sitting/Standing/Laying down all hurt the same. The pain meds kinda take the pain down from a 10 to a 6 for about an hour only x.x Hoping it feels better soon because I don't have time for this @.@

I'm sorry that that happened to your neck. ;.; ;.; ;.; ;.;  Any estimate on how much time it would take to recover from it from the doctors?

I'm sorry to hear that as it sounds really bad.  It's just so easy to sprain or strain anything it only takes one awkward move and often it's not until hours later that the pain starts. I hope you'll soon be feeling better soon.

You'll be better in no time. As long as you keep doing what the doctor said to do.

He said I should be feeling alright in a couple days but I can't go back to my work studies courses according to my note from the doctor until next Wednesday.

I didn't even know it was possible to sprain your neck lol I always thought about that being your ankle or wrist or something. That's the same thing the doctor told me though, that with neck injuries it can take hours, and sometimes even days, before the pain might start. Not sure if I did it when I fell off the boat last week or if it's something else really but he told me to avoid anything that can put a strain on my neck for the next days and keep taking anti-inflammatories and pain meds for now.

I hope it doesn't last longer than that. ;.; ;.; ;.; Though it sucks that you can't go back to your work studies courses until next Wednesday. Are you doing online classes until then?

It's okay for me to go to the normal classes at school but I didn't today, I am tomorrow though. It's just the work courses after the classes the Dr. said I can't go to until next Wednesday because they require me to do things that could further injure my neck :c

Ohh, ok. It's pretty cool that you're still good to go to classes at school, but what about the work courses afterwords, will they pick up where you were last time or will you need to hit the ground running and they won't do those courses you missed again?

We have to have to so many hours of these things in to graduate, I just have to meet the hour quota, but the way they have it set up you could miss weeks of these and still meet the quota.

Work but finished earlier for the weekend so I just played games. Went to get us dinner, then back to more gaming. 

[Sakura]

Mostly just resting, my neck feels a lot better today and I can actually slightly turn my head now without pain lol Other than that I did play some games online. Oh and when we were going to the pharmacy earlier we rescued 2 plants that were sitting in the trash bin around the corner that were still alive  So now I have two more plants.. I don't know how I keep acquiring plants lmao but one seems to be a Snake Tongue plant and the other is a Chinese Evergreen.

Glad to hear you're feeling a lot better.

Well done for rescuing the plants I'm always a bit annoyed when people throw out good plants. The other week I found some nice flowers in the garden recycling bin that my neighbour had thrown out, I took them in and they brightened up my living room for just over a week.

[Zeref]

I think we committed several traffic violations trying to turn the car around to get back to those plants, as if they were abandon children on the side of the road

I relaxed all day playing games, skipped working out but did spend some time sitting out on the balcony just enjoying the breeze.

That is how I started with plants lol it was last year and starting to get cold when I found a Marble Queen someone had left by the trash can and I knew it was going to freeze that night and if I left it there it would die, so I brought it home. Never wanted plants but now I have like 14  I consider them living creatures at this point and even talk to mine lol

Worth it lol

Mostly working, now just relaxing watching a game and watching a fire out of the window again lol.

School but still can't go to my work study courses until Wednesday. I guess that's good because I have a 25 page paper due by the end of the week that they didn't even bother to assign us until today. + the normal homework assignments which are usually 3-4 assignments per night at the least. Some days I'm not even sure finishing my Masters is worth it. One month in barely and I kind of want to say the heck with it.

Oh yeah, another huge fire today, this one across from us by the expressway. I heard it was a 2 or 3 story apartment building. I heard they caught whoever was doing some arsonist type things around but this makes me wonder. Anyways there are some pictures in the spoiler. It was huge and after a few minutes the smoke was blowing into our doors so we had to close them lol

And here's a video of it.

I don't know if anyone was hurt, but it shut down the freeway for awhile because as you can see the cars couldn't even see to drive past there with all that smoke.

Today I explored the limits of chatgpt. 

 

[Zeref]

Nothing special, only really working. Tomorrow I have off so I am staying up to play games.

[Sakura]

Just school mostly, didn't really have time for anything else, at the rate school is going I barely have time to even get on here. 

[Zeref]

Worked most of the day. Received a new project yesterday due by the weekend so I've been putting a lot of effort and focus into that. I worked really late last night, until almost 11PM. Today was a little more relaxed since the bulk of it was finished last night. I was able to go out for coffee and lunch, workout inside, and catch up on a few things I needed to do in the house because @Sakura was going to strangle me if I didn't take out the garbage  I heard the dreaded "Well fine I guess I'll do it myself!!" coming from the kitchen and the angry sounds of garbage bins banging and had to jump into action immediately lol.

That sentence works as intended lmao ~ 

All I really did today was school, and stress out about school, and today was the first day I could go back to work studies as well since hurting my neck so it was actually nice to be back at that. I prefer to be on a boat in the water so I missed it for that week.

Just mind what you do, and treat that neck with care and don't do anything that could strain it. It'll take a while before it's fully better.

Finished work earlier so was able to get some lunch out and run errands and pick up groceries.
