my last post was almost 2.5 years ago. that's a loooooong time ago (as Anne keeps reminding me)... lots & lots has changed.

Looking back to my last post, I had taken the muscle relaxants after falling down the stairs at my house at 11pm. I remember laying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs & wondering if I had broken my back! As I laid there I tried to figure out how long it would be until someone would find me (as I was living by myself then)... then realized it could be awhile, so I got up. Then debated going to the ER... but the next day I was supposed to complete a required test for a prospective job. I debated whether I'd really be able to sit through the test... but I did go; made it through the test, then promptly went to the med center for x-rays! nothing broken... and 6 mos later I had a new job.

Life has not been the same since... I now live in a world of forced/required overtime, for which I have little to no use for (except for that it gives me something to despise in life). I don't regret taking the job, by and large... I'm just sick of missing out on life due to the job. "Next month it (the OT) will be better"... is what we've been hearing for the past 6 mos at least. And not only has it not decreased, it's actually increased. *sigh*

When do I get my life back?
