This morning first thing, I had a Chiropractic appointment at
9am. I had a Music Appreciation class
from 11am – 12:15pm -> however that class was canceled due to the Solar
Eclipse. Anyways I liked the Chiro a
lot more than my previous one. This guy
actually massaged muscles, told me what, why and where he was doing thing (more
so than the previous guy). The Chiro
doctor gave me some exercises to do and explained where we wanted to get to (what’s
normal for people) and where I actually was (very behind in my movement
abilities). Also, the Chiro Doctor
suggested that I come in 2 times a week for 15 minutes for an adjustment. Unfortunately, I don’t think insurance covers
that as my insurance isn’t connected with this office. Therefore each visit will be $40, plus any
other things that come up. I am hoping
that this will help a lot in all the pain that I have. -> I have frequent
hip pains, low/mid back pains (and some upper back pains), and primarily neck
pains. I feel pain in my neck 90-95% of
the time I am awake. I’ve gotten use to
some of the pain, though it is still there.
But I can’t move my neck much at all without feeling pain spike. I am hoping and praying that this Chiro
doctor can help.
This afternoon I got to go outside and watch the Solar
Eclipse. The Schlipfs (relatives that I
am living with) had purchased 4 pairs of Solar Glasses, but Bethany and Jesses
found that their college gave them to them for free, so they had an extra for
me to have. God is so good! He always provides. Though we were not in the direct line of
the Solar Eclipse, we were able to see most of it, well it was a 93%
Eclipse. The outside felt like it became a bit darker,
and the crickets started to chirp a lot more.
But I was disappointed that it wasn’t much darker. I had expected that since only 7% of the sun
was shinning, that it would be quite dark outside. NOPE!
It just shows how powerful the sun is – it was also a lot cooler outside
too.
This evening I attended my first college class,
Biology. The class runs every Monday
and Wednesday this semester from 6PM to 8:20PM.
Though tonight it got out over an hour early! Yeah! I’ve been reading through all the syllabui
for this semester, and I am finding that I will have lots of reading to
do. I am expecting that I will have
60-100 pages to read out of textbooks per week. That I am not looking forward to. However I am praying that God will give me an
excitement about school this year. That
He will give me a passion and a desire grater than chillaxing to be doing school
and homework. I don’t want the stress,
worry and anxiety that comes with all this, so I am asking Him to give me a joy
in it, so it is more enjoyable than blah!
Thanks for writing Joshua. Love hearing how you are doing. Praying for you as you start classes and adjust to a new city/place to live etc.
