The Challenge: Outfit #9

Let it snow, Let it snow, let it...please make it stop!!!!

It has been snowing in Lexington since the beginning of December and I am O-V-E-R it! Nothing ruins an outfit more than having to put on snow boots or Uggs with your work clothes to get you to your destination. Heels and snow do not mix! I'd assume if snows going to fall from the sky then let it snow buckets and buckets....but of course, we only get about an inch. Just enough to be a nuisance!

I am laid up at home on the couch....not because of a "snow day" but because of this extreme lower back pain I have been having the past few days. I usually just chalk it up to traveling and those horrible airplane seats, but this pain wasn't going away. I decided enough was enough and I went to see a Chiropractor. Turns out, I have a legit issue....a legit born with defect. How have I made it almost 30 years without knowing this? I now wonder if the slight back pain I've always felt is not normal pain. I've always assumed it was from being on my feet 8 plus hours a day or sitting 8 hours a day.

I have a slight fear of the Chiropractor so that's probably why I've never addressed it. In middle school, they show you this horrible scoliosis video, that made me pass out, literally real pass out because I thought it was so gross! So I've avoided the Chiropractor my whole life while the rest of my family swears by it because I did not want anyone to touch my spine (my husband finds this hilarious by the way!) I found out that my right hip is not connected to my spine correctly which my Chiro explains as being similar to Spinal Bifida, which my Dad was diagnosed with when I was in elementary school. And my spine doesn't line up the way it should but more so stair steps down. Geeze-O-Peet I'm falling apart in my old age! Luckily, it is all fixable (the pain anyhow) without having to have surgery with more adjustment visits.

So with that being said...I am laid up on the couch, giving my poor back a rest, and being kept warm by three furry doggies. My outfit today was only put to good use for a few hours, so hopefully I can mix these back in with other pieces this month.
