Not sure what's going on but the last few nights I really haven't slept worth a shit. I keep waking up and I'm not sure why. I know it's not related to the neck thing because it was happening before that. Needless to say, work's gonna be pretty interesting. Maybe I'll head to be early tonight, I don't know. The trouble with this is that by the time I get home I've usually caught my second wind. Guess I'll wait and see what happens.

EDIT: You know, maybe this has something to do with the fact that I have to be up at this ungodly hour..... I'm willing to bet that's a big reason.

Today's lesson: Abrupt movements are bad.

So last night around 7ish, I turn around to try and find a pen and what do I hear? This ominous cruching sound in my neck. This of course followed by pain. Joy of joys, I put out my neck. One trip to the ER later, I've got ibuprofen and intructions to ice my neck. Doctor says it's a muscle spasm. I say it's worse. I managed to book an appointment at a chiropractors office, go in and he tells me that I've got muscle tension over my whole back and yes indeed I did put my neck out. God did it feel good when he adjusted it. So I get to go back tomorrow and get it done again. On top of that though, I'm off work tomorrow and pending. This all depends on how I'm feeling by tomorrow. If I still don't have full movement and the pain is still there, I'm gonna wind up being off work for Friday too. Ah well, I'm under orders to take it easy and ice my neck for ten minutes every hour. So this means much movie watching and aplications of frozen veggies. I knew those bags my mom got me were good for something, cause I sure don't eat them. My bad? meh. Well, it's off to watch movies I am.

blregh..... First day at new work place, didn't sleep worth a shit and I have no idea why. I kept waking up. I am gonna be so wasted by the end of my shift. Looking forward to bed again already. Not that that's any different from most days that I work. Oh well, I have coffee brewing. mmmmm caffine....

Well loyal readers(that I know are just a figment of my imagination.... but anyways!), much has happened these past few... is it days or weeks? Whatever. On with the show. So I've moved, again. Now instead of Screendoor in the wind, Alberta(translation: Rimbey) I am now living in Eggville(Vegreville). This town's claim to fame is that it is the location of the world's largest Pysanka. Now I know you're all sitting there, scratching your heads and going "Wtf?!?" So I explain! A pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter egg. Really, they're pretty cool and interesting little works of art. This one however... Well you know what? I'm just gonna get the stats from the town's webpage. Please hold... *insert the usual boring music-ish stuff here*
Right, I found it. So here goes the story of Vegreville's Egg.

Erm... Apparently I can't just copy/paste it. Guess you get to read it via a link. Pysanka
Hopefully that works.
Now what boggles my mind is that every year these people have a festival in which the egg plays a central role. What is this? Some sort of pagan ritual to worship the thing? Do they bring offerings and sacrifices to it? "Oh mighty Pysanka, we beg of you to bless our harvests this year. Please accept this virgin girl as a token of our gratitude." Note to self: Do NOT disclose current sexual status to co-workers in case this scenario is true.

Also, I've been told that a couple towns in the surrounding area are home to the worlds largest Ukrainian sausage and the largest perogi. These people have way too much spare time, me thinks.
Really though, it's not a bad place, decently sized and I'm only an hour from Edmonton. Needless to say I think I'll do pretty good here. My new place is really great. Bigger than the last. It only took about 6 hours to get all set up thanks to help from Mom, Dad and my aunt. Unlike my Rimbey apartment, this one actually looks and feels like a home. Dad and I put up some pictures in the living room as well as some of my posters. If I had a digital camera that worked(little keychain one has gone missing) I'd take some pictures and post them. Maybe some day.
But I've got some pasta sauce to attempt making and some exploring to do. Adios.
