A rough start to the week.

This week is, so far, a pretty rough one.
I'm on my third of four consecutive12-hour shifts.  Luckily, I'm scheduled for Fast Track, which doesn't open for another 45 minutes.  This past hour may have been the only hour of rest and relaxation that I've gotten since Friday afternoon.
This entire week is forecasted as rainy, stormy, and warm.  My garden is thrilled about it, but so are the weeds and grass!  The lawn is somehow entirely out of control once again, and will probably not be mowed again until sometime next week.  The vegetable beds need weeding, the potatoes need to be hilled up, and I'm not even going to discuss the state of my house. 
Another complicating factor is that I've been having some trouble with my back lately.  I just saw a new chiropractor for the first time last week, and had some x-rays done.  My follow-up is on Thursday, and I'm anxious to see what my films show.  Something feels wrong... not just the usual muscle soreness and fatigue.  Hopefully it's something that chiropractic care can treat.  I want to be able to do the work that I enjoy without pain.
In other news, I'm officially registered for the first class of my RN-to-BSN program.  Bachelor's degree, here I come....
