It's been awhile.

My laptop is broken so the only computer I have is the one in the backroom which is the coldest room in the world with the dangerous brick fire place that Emily likes to crawl into. I don't go back there often. I think I'm getting to that time of year where I am ready to move south! I'm very much over winter and over being cold all the time. Hmm.. lastest news...

We've been going to the acupuncturist for a couple weeks now. I'm going for my headaches, Jimmy is going for his sinus pressure and Nathan is going in hopes it will help solve his coughing problem. I have to say it is a very interesting experience. It's not painful but it feels different, almost like they're tapping into your nerve or a bone or something, just a very odd feeling. Nathan is very brave and doesn't complain at all. The first time we went it was for Jimmy's appointment. I brought Nathan along to watch so he'd have an idea what would happen at his appointment. The Dr. had Jimmy lay down with his shirt of face down. The first place she put a needle was the top of his head which caught me off guard. Nathan turned around and gave me a "you've got to be kidding me" look. Then she put needles all around the base of his head/top of his neck, needles all over his back and some on his legs. Probably 50 in all. At one point he kinda jumped a bit and said "that was interesting" which freaked me out because usually interesting isn't a good thing. But after having it done a few times myself it's not at all what I thought it would feel like. It almost feels like someone is just flicking you at different points on your back. It's really nothing and afterwards I can tell my muscles are sore almost like I got a very deep massage. I'm hoping this will help us all, mostly hoping it will help Nathans cough. We shall see.
