Isn't that sweet?

One of my students is a premed student and long story short, after class we got to talking about scoliosis. He is the only student who knows about my back. When I told him the curvature and gave him surgery details, he just stood there in disbelief and then said, "I can't imagine this crap happening to a nicer person. I just don't understand." Ahhhh (When I told my mom, she started crying). Well, I thought that was really sweet and if he didn't seem so sincere, I would think it was because I brought my class brownies today - brain food for their test on Monday. :) Well, I'm glad at least one of my students thinks I'm nice. He is an A student though - when people don't prepare or attempt to take a nap, my claws come out!

Snow day!

Yesterday I was wearing a skirt and flip flops and tonight my husband is outside shoveling snow! This Wisconsin weather is crazzeeeee.

But enough about that (although I do love the snow on the trees). We got our offer accepted on the condo! We're going to have our first home. Yipppppeeeeeee. I'm so excited for the fireplace, you can't even imagine. I would have gone to Target tonight to buy "fireplace stuff" but the roads are bad. We're not moving for a while, but I'm still excited.

The condo complex has a new gym, pool, and hot tub, and not that I'm going to be using it anytime soon post-op, it is still nice to know it is there and my poor hubby can go work out some of his frustration after taking care of me :) Oh, and taking care of all my family members who will probably flip out!

My back has been acting up quite a bit lately. Maybe it sensed the change in weather . . . I don't know, but the lower back and hip pain is pretty much constant for the last 4 days. I wish it would go away.
