I am going to try something drastic tonight.  I still have on pill left over from when I had my bursitis attack and I am going to take it just before I go to bed.  I hope it will work as the other things have only helped a little and it actually feels sorer then it did.  I'd like to be able to say that I worked my way through it today, but I didn't.  I wimped out and took lots of sick time because it felt better to not work then it did to work.  I also developed a real sore left wrist.  It is quite strange though because 1- I can't remember doing anything that might have caused it and 2- I am still able to do my push ups and not feel any pain at all.  So you should conclude that my day wasn't as productive as I would have liked it to be.  Its been okay, but the holiday slow down has affected this week more then it did last week.  Or at least so far.  I can still hope that tomorrow will see improvement.  It is hard for me to get back into the routine of that church calling which has me walk over to check and lock up the building.  If not for that I would probably been in bed a while ago.  I have to think hard to stretch my new motto to cover that.  I know it is a good thing to fulfill a calling, but my pride makes it a bit hard to accept this one.  Maybe that's why I got it.  So I need to 'get it' and just do what I have been asked to do.  The day hasn't been a total waste of time.  I did get my new year journal stared, and I took care of a few tasks.  I even did some of the office work.  I just did that in between naps and resting to try and treat my throat with the hopes of convincing it to get better.   I am having enough trouble liking this cold winter weather, but the sore throat makes it so much harder.  The cold (both meanings of the word) I can deal with.  Pain, well that is harder for me.  Hence, 'the pill' and hope to see you in the morning.
