Recovering, Find a New Job, and Invisalign are no fun..

I bet you are thinking, that is a really strange title for a post. But that was the best way to get your attention about the past couple of weeks at the Tonne household, well me in particular.

Last Friday, I had a meeting with my head boss. He asked me how I thought the job was going since I only had 2 more weeks left until my probation period was over. Well I informed him that I didn't think the job was for me. Cold calling is not my passion, and that I don't think I want to continue to work here after my temp period is over. Pretty much told him it was no offense to this company, just can't do this job well.

So needless to say I am now looking for a new job. And well that is a full-time job in itself. And when I get home from work I am so tired, and the last thing I want to do is look at a computer screen when I need to rest so my endometriosis doesn't flair up to bad. I am narrowing my pursuits to looking for a job in the Admin world. So if you see an Admin job somewhere flag me done and let me know.

I am still recovering my car accident. I went for a massage this week to work out some of the knots and it helped, but not completely. I still wake up pretty sore, and then after sitting in a desk it makes it flair up. Matt has been sweet and has been rubbing in. It has now been two weeks I better be down hill from now on.

And yes, I do now have braces again. This is the third time, and that doesn't make me happy. But this time my braces are invisalign. So they just look like retainers, and that is pretty good, except, it is a pain in the butt to eat. They make the trays really tight so that the move the teeth, but everytime you want to eat you have to take them out. And that is like a 5 minute process in itself. The bottom ones are really hard to get out, since they put a nice bracket on my canine tooth. But in three months they will be off and I will be on my way to getting a bridge, and never having to wear a retainer again, or say the phrase I got to put my teeth back in before you take a picture. That makes me sad, because it always gets a good laugh. Also, I can't close my mouth when the retainers are in. So thats funny!

If you made it through this post, you are a champ. Lastly, the Lord has been gracious to me the past couple of weeks, with all these changes I am handling stuff pretty well. Its like I am living in freedom, and not bondage anymore. That a great feeling.

HEy Kristen, sorry about not inviting you to our night out, I didn't think I am sorry. So glad you are feeling well. My friend Jenny Windle is a Massage Therapist and she only charges $1 a minute. She gave me the best massage ever, there is a link to her blog on my site, if you want to give her a try. I will be praying that you find the perfect admin job but just try to take it easy. Miss you tons.

When I had to get braces the second time I actually wanted Invisalign because I didn't want to look all dorky with regular braces, but I guess they're more of a hassle than I thought!

I'm sorry you're still hurting from your accident :( Do you think you could take like a pillow or something to work to help relax your back while you're sitting all day?
