A pretty good day

Today was a pretty good stress free day. I did not do much of anything.
I forgot to post about my dr appt on friday. The good news is that the dr does not think my terrible arm and shoulder pain is nerve pain from neuropathy or a pinched nerve. He is pretty sure that I have a bad case of tendonitis in the tendon that runs from the back of my shoulder down my bicep and to my elbow. That is why I am having pain throughout the entire area and why it feels like a burning cramping. He gave me a prescription for a NSAID and I have to go get an xray this week. I also have to ice it for 20 minutes every hour and try to rest my arm. I need to call tomorrow and make an appt with the orthopedist arm specialist and see about getting cortisone injections into that area to help speed up the healing. Otherwise according to my dr. this could take a fair amount of time to totally get better. I have no idea what I did to injure my arm...and I wish that it was not causing me pain but I am glad that it is not nerve pain. At least this pain will heal and go away unlike nerve pain.
Last night I had one of the most wonderful baths. I used to love to take a bath but lately just do not take the time to do so. I take a shower instead since it is easier and faster. But, I miss a nice soak in the tub. A sweet sweet online friend sent me some stuff from the LUSH store. If you have not heard of lush you are missing out. We do not have a lush store locally and shipping from the online lush site is so high that I have not ordered from the but I have looked at the stuff over and over and drooled at some of it lol. Well, an online friend J. lives near a lush store and she offered to pick me up some stuff. She sent me a box of goodies the other day and OMG I am in heaven. Bubble bars, bath fizzies, body and hair wash etc. So, last night AND the night before I had a nice long soak in my jacuzzi bath tub. I started thinking about why I did not do this more often. I just felt like it was too much trouble. But...why?? I run the tub and clean the tub for the kids to take a bath. I need to start taking the time for myself to do things that I enjoy. Now I just need to get a bath caddy that holds a book and other goodies and I will be set. My friend went back to lush yesterday and I had her pick me up a few more things. A shampoo bar, a jungle hair conditioner bar,candy fluff dusting powder and I am not sure what else...she will ship it to me and I will anxiously check the mail each day.
I am trying not to feel guilty about spending the money on myself...I am sure there are a bunch of other things much more practical that we could use...like new towels, new kitchen utensils, a new can opener etc...but none of them will make me feel anywhere near as good as buying these yummy smelling bath goodies for myself. Ya know the saying....if mama aint happy....aint nobody happy....so I will just justify the goodies by saying they are good for the happiness of the entire family hehe.
