Shin Splints, how I loathe thee...

It's been a while since I posted. Things have been very busy around here. I've been trying to pack and get ready for our move to Houston in 3 weeks. My last day of work is next Friday and so I've been working late trying to get everything wrapped up before I go. 

I found my doctor and a new apartment, so those are two big things off my list.

I still need to rent a U-haul and a car trailer.

I don't know if it is the crazy amount of activity that I've been doing the last two weeks, but my legs are killing me!!! They are starting to swell up and I have perma-shin splints. 

I can't get myself to slow down either. Sitting still for extended periods of time really bugs me now.  I'm also nesting like CRAZY!! I have the urge to clean and organize things all the time.

Sunday morning I woke up at 7 am and started cleaning out my bathroom cabinet and closet. A had to come in and drag me back to bed!

I started organizing things in my office today. There was a big box sitting in our conference room and I went in and picked it up. I didn't think it was that heavy and had no problems moving it. My boss came in to my office and he was all flush and he yelled "What the F&$* are you doing?!?!?" I was like, "I'm cleaning and trying to pick things up around here." I apparently scared him to death. He said, "Shelby I do not want to deliver your baby here at the office, please don't pick anything else up, EVER!!!" We just both started to laugh.

Sometimes I forget that I have limits now on how I can bend, stretch and carry things. It kind of sucks. You feel disabled in a way. People always want to help you do simple tasks and I can't help but let them do it. I should relish in the help and learn to relinquish control over situations, but.... it's soooo hard to do!!

Anywho, my legs are killing me. I need A to massage them again.
