Phew..what a day.
Today was a rough day for me. For one, the end is coming at my job. I am extremely sad right now. But knew it wouldn't last forever. The lady that is over me comes in on Mondays so I knew in advance that it was going to be a busy day at work. She wanted the greenhouse emptied by July 4th. Which I totally understand and did just that. I basically got every single Hanging basket out. Even though most of the baskets left are shade annuals and I can pretty much tell you that it is all going to burn up being where we put them. But we made it work today. I started cleaning, well power washing the floor in the greenhouse because that green algae stuff was building up in spots which causes slipperiness. And actually had two people slip and one actually fell right in front of me. So I am actually glad that we got the floors half done.
But what I should not of done was lift over 32 cinder blocks. I felt it. Tried not to think about it. But then it hit me. My Sciatica nerve just started throbbing, burning, numbness, and basically could not do a darn thing. It has taken over 3 hours for the pain to slowly go away. I came home, took a hot shower and downed 1600mgs. of Ibuprohen. Call me crazy, but it is what is suggested when your sciatica nerve starts bothering you. It is working, just takes a little bit and you have to relax. If you don't relax...the pain will just stay with you longer.
I am grateful that my boyfriend got up and made supper. And he also got all the dishes done earlier with the help of my Son who is actually starting to help out even more around here. And I don't have to beg him to help. I know my baby is growing up, and growing up so fast. Like right now, he's asking me about how hot or high the temperature has actually gotten around here. Which by the way was 117 in 1954 in East St.Louis,IL. I looked it up to be sure...lol. He's asking more questions, and the other day shocked the crap out of me. We were talking about the Planets, and he goes Mom..I know all the planets. He said them really fast, and I bout shiz my pants. I said "WHAT? You know all the planets and I DON'T????" What's up with that? I know he is smart, I know he can go far but he chooses to NOT push himself.
Well....I really need to go get in bed. And totally relax my body. I have a busy, busy week. I really wanted to get all my hours in and make some good money. I have lots of bills to pay with my last paycheck.
