Busy Saturday

We rarely have things to do on the weekends because they cost money and we have none. Today however we did a bunch of stuff. I went to visit a new chiropractor today. She was wonderful! Her name is Chantal Braasch, and she did a great job. As I mentioned before I have been having back problems for years. My past chiropractor experience has been with a male doctor who was all about physical adjustments (cracking and popping different areas of the body) then all of a sudden he decided that he also wanted to be holistic. Don't get me wrong holistic medicine works for some people, but I am not one of those. Every time I went in he was trying to get me to buy this really expensive pills and the one time he suckered me into doing it, it made me so sick that I tried to return the opened bottle of pills. He said that he wouldn't take them back because if I took the pills from these other TWO bottles everything would be back in balance. BULLSHIT. He also wanted me to come in like three times a week. That cost added up very fast, and while I had relief the day of my adjustment the pain and discomfort seemed to come back very rapidly. So anyway I got Dr. Braasch number from my friend Becky and I am so happy. With my other doctor I was in and out in five minutes. With Dr. Braasch I was there for over and hour and a half!! Granted it was my first visit and she had to take a medical history, but she still took a loooooong time to adjust me. She did pressure points, massage, and adjustment. I am very sore now, but it is a great sore. I can move and I am very happy. I will go back again very soon.

CJ and I then went to the pool at my work. It was hot, and fun. We only stayed for about 45 minutes because we had other stuff to do. The other stuff was going to buy CJ new running shoes. He never wants anything new, so I was happy to go look. Silly me thought that we would be going to all these different place to look, and that I could just look around too. We went to Kohl's and were done in 10 minutes :(. I would have stayed at the pool longer if I had know that the trip would have been so short. We then went to the grocery store, bought five things and spent $20, groceries are so expensive now. I made a good Mexican dinner and then cleaned up the house for Lauren's visit tomorrow and my mom's visit on Monday night. Very nice Saturday overall.
