Thankfully today was a relaxing day. I have still not been feeling good from this cold or whatever it is that's been plaguing my head. I subbed and worked at Walmart Thursday and Friday, so I had two very long days in a row. Thursday did not get off to a very good start. We had well below freezing temperatures and ice on the roads. Denton ISD was closed along with many others who were also closed or starting late. Unfortunately that list did not include Lewisville ISD, so I had to go to my sub job. I am not going to lie; I was scared at times driving. I hit an icy patch before getting on the interstate and nearly lost control. It was cold all day Thursday and Friday! Today it warmed up to about 37 but compared to Thursday and Friday it felt about 65.
I am subbing for the same teacher all next week, so I decided that I am going to take it easy this weekend. Today Landon and I went to see The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus-Heath Ledger's last movie. It was interesting at times, but not a great movie. You can expect a review soon on my film blog.

Ooops! Recap of the last few months.
So, I have obviously been very negligent towards my blog the last several months.
I have been somewhat busy subbing and working in the optical. Landon has been very busy at work at the DC.
Since the car accident in September, which I failed to blog about, we have been kept on our toes with medical bills and calls to the insurance company. I have submitted receipts for my injuries in the accident, which were minor. I hope to hear back from them soon so we can get some bills paid off!
Landon is still having trouble with his shoulder. He was out of work for two months and has been back at work for a little over a month. Things started out well the first few days back but after that he has been either just plain sore or in pain from the repetitive and physically demanding nature of his job. When he went back to the doctor a couple of weeks ago, the doctor said there was nothing he could do since the injury is not operable. We are thinking about seeing a shoulder specialist but have not come across one that will take him. One doctor that my brother has seen before for one of his many "accidents" specializes in shoulder injuries but does not take car accident-related injuries.
We had a wonderful (and white!) Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with my mom and ended up spending the night and the next morning with them too because of the snow. The next day we were able to make it up to Nocona to see Landon's dad and stepmom, brother and sister. The snow prevented us from going on Christmas Day like we originally planned. Snow still blanketed the ground and the moon shone off the snow-covered fields on our way there. I wished it was light outside so I could see how pretty it was-The snow had already melted here in Denton.
Since Christmas we've been busy playing with our Christmas gifts-my Rockband, purse, jewelry and grill pan!, Landon's Yankees wear, books and flip video camera.
I have set some New Year's resolutions for myself, purely boring and routine things that I have a hard time being consistent with (imagine that!) Doing the dishes everyday (the handwash only things seemed to pile up), scooping my cat's litterbox 3 times a week (I know, I'm bad!), balancing the checkbook daily (it takes too long to do it when I wait a week or more at a time), spending time in the Word everyday (again, I have to make myself take the time--too many distractions), working out 3 times per week (shouldn't be too hard), and eating fish or meatless once a week (this will be hardest on Landon). As this is the first week of the year, I'd say I'm doing pretty well so far.
I haven't been feeling well this week (head cold, or something) and I have a sub job and Walmart tomorrow and Friday, so I'm hoping I'll be feeling better by tonight. I've spent the day so far on the couch watching TV and playing around on the computer.
Part of my resolve this year is also to be more consistent writing here on my blog and reading the blogs of my friends and family. It helps me feel more connected to those I don't get to see nearly often enough!
