A Georgia Angel

I don’t put much faith in horoscopes.  But I do like to read them for fun.  While entering some giveaways from my good friends, Stacey at Super Mommy to the Rescue, and Kim at Mission Mommy, I saw that Twittascope had updated on my twtter account.  It says “You are aware of the assumptions that are behind the current “.  Okay, so that always gets me curious.  I had to read more.   The full horoscope reads:

“You are aware of the assumptions that are behind the current veneer of social etiquette and you aren’t sure that you can meet the expectations. You can sense the pressure, even if others are going out of their way to be nice to you. Don’t give up today; just do the best you can and then move on to what is next. You may be surprised that the same people who were being negative earlier turn out to be your best allies later on.”

Today, I had an appointment with my chiropractor.  As a little background, I have known him all my life.  He started out working with his father.  My mother worked for his father for over 40 years, and I worked for them for a couple of years.  He is a great doctor and always tries to give helpful hints to improve your lifestyle.  Today, he hit me up with the diet spill.  He and his wife tried Jenny Craig earlier this year and lost 30 lbs within the first couple of months.  I tell ya, he looks great.  So he spent a good 20 minutes talking to me about it, in his very subtle way, and suggesting that it is something that I should look into.  If I keep on, I’m going to be 40 lbs. heavier this time next year.  Sigh.  Don’t I know it.   He put  me on the Spinalator and left the room.  I laid there for a little bit, then all of a sudden, tears came to my eyes.  Of all things.  He’s right, I know it.  I hate diets, and I hate dieting alone.  I could really use to lose anywhere from 30-60 lbs.  60 would be ideal, but I’d settle for 30.

When I got home, I checked out the diet systems he mentioned.  They look like they could work for me, but I just can’t manage it, financially, that is.  I would love to.  But that’s a lot of money to come up with in a chunk of change.  Now, granted, I didn’t delve too deep and look at all the plans offered.  I’m sure there is something there that I haven’t seen yet that I could manage.  But it was still very depressing.  My mother called and we talked about all we had going on this month and we were looking forward to maybe having a quiet November.  Ha.  If only.  I told her about what the doctor said today, and her answer was, “well, just put it aside and maybe think about it in December, maybe after Christmas.”

Aha….  see how the horoscope works?  It’s a little freaky.

As for the chiropractor, he really is my best ally.  I already know that.  The chiropractic treatments have worked (even though he tells me “I’m still a mess”).  It has definitely alleviated the bursitis in my hips, and decreased the pain in my low back.  The key is keeping the appointments on a regular basis.
