Whirlwind

I kind of feel like I'm in a whirlwind today. One of my patients bounced a check with me which sucks since I'm now in the red in the bank and I have to collect from her. I don't see it being a problem getting the money from her, but you never know. Plus I hope it doesn't affect her coming in.

I'm swinging from paying one bill to another with a few falling behind. Money is slowly coming in, but not fast enough for me. I'm starting to get negative since a patient just cancelled. All I know is I just keep putting one foot in front of another and I'll get through this. Unless I'm walking the plank then I'm screwed!

Today marked a first. One of my patients has terminal cancer. For the last few months I was wondering should I look in the obits for any of my senior patients, but there has to be a better way online to do that. Anyway I knew he was sick and had other problems going on. So his wife stopped by to pay his bill and fill me in. I thought it was very sweet that he wanted to come all month to talk to me and tell me what was going on, but the medicine has been knocking him off of his feet.

I tell you I do hate complete cash patients for one reason. If I need to refer the out to someone, who is the best person that's just not going to waste their money. I see how it is with people with insurance and them getting the run around. As you can tell I have a patient that I'm running out things to do for her, but not quite sure where to send her. I might have to just send her to where I would do if they had insurance (cringe).

Panera Bread

I tell you, I'm liking Panera Bread on a Saturday afternoon. I meet attractive women that are hitting on me. Last time it was the Asian. This time I noticed a pair of women sitting behind where I had set up for game night. One was very attractive from across the room. Anyway just sitting there with my back to them they started a conversation up with me. I invited them to join, but they wanted to go shopping instead. I had my opportunity to ask her out, but passed. Sitting around yesterday I had the realization of being in a relationship most of my life. So it's nice to be single and enjoy my time alone. I've matured in many areas over the last few years and I think this is another one. I'm not saying how long it will last. Hey, knowing me I'll ask someone out tomorrow.

Not much on my plate today except staying cool. It's suppose to be in the upper 90's today. I stuck my hand out to get the paper today and I can believe it. I'm going to the Funny Bone tonight with the singles. I think I would rather jump tables and sit with L and her friends. Tango girl was suppose to go, but she cancelled and I'm stuck with another girl who I don't particularly like. The good thing is she's bringing 2 friend along so hopefully it will dilute all her diarrhea of the mouth.

Did I Mention ...

One of the massage therapist I have is very attractive, young, and just divorced. The other is a guy and we won't talk about him. Anyway I totally forgot where I got her from. Then I'm on FB today and I'm looking up my friends to see how they're doing. So I'm on the Model's page when I see her and that she has a FB account. Then it all comes together. She's an ex model too as per her photo.

The Wedgie Karma

For me it's hard to know when I'm angry, to feel it, and then express it. It took me a while to realize I was angry with the bitch of a massage therapist. See colorful metaphors indicating anger. So I've talked about it enough to have felt it and expressed it even though nothing was said to her. Karma will strike her with a wedgie and then all will be right with the universe.

It was funny L asked me about the event on FB. So I emailed her back how it went since the friend I went to support was on FB. L hoped she didn't put me in a spot. I told her no and that I would tell my friend I had fun and that I left after eating food and not wanting to wait for a massage. 30 seconds later my friend called. LMAO. At least I knew what I was going to say.

Today has been a fun day. The morning was back to back patients which all flowed nicely. Learning from the book I'm reading now - the 4 Hour Work Week, that avoiding all no work stuff like FB and checking email makes it very easy to do work.

The Event

One of my friends had a client appreciation tonight. She had cross marketed with a few others. It was held in a condo on the beach that was for sale. 1.3 million dollar condo to be exact. Personally I didn't care for it. Like my brother's place, everything is spread out over 3 floors. At least his bedrooms are on the 3rd floor. This place had them on the second which is right between everything. I had stopped by to show my support and hopefully get a chair massage.

Oye! Now I usually like being the only guy in a house filled with women, but not this time. All the women were pretty foo foo and not my type, but many were checking me out. I grabbed some veggies to eat since everything else was cup cakes. All the juice was diet and I passed on all the wine. I did talk to one lady who told me about her daughter being in chiropractic college. It was funny, once she found out I had been in this profession for 14 years now then her attitude changed with me.

The worse was when I was looking into getting a massage. I ran into a salon owner who I had talked to many months ago. She was the best since at least she praised me for my weekly motivations before she tried to sell me anything. I don't know if I somehow give the appearance of wealth or something, but women just kept coming up to me and pointing out something about the house. Honestly unless you're getting naked with me in one of them I really don't give a crap. One of the salon ladies was right in my face talking about her business.

However the worse was the massage therapist. She came to my office a while back. She agreed she wanted the space, set up a date, and said she would call. This was the first I've heard from her. Anyway she asked about the massage therapist in my office and how they were doing. I told her slow with the economy. She then tries to sell me on office space in her place as she puts down mine. WTF! It left a real sour taste in my mouth. Since I would never hit a lady, I think a wedgie may have been in order. She told me I could get a massage in an hour. I said hi to my friend and bailed.

The Train has Left the Station

I finally got all caught up with all my blog reading. Only when I'm busy and can't read do I realize how many blogs I read cause they really add up fast when you don't read them. It's like rabbits on Viagra. I've been trying over the last few days to easy the load, but the unending entries was undoing all my work. I did perfect my system of who I can read fast and who I need time to read.

Yes I'm still grumbling about seeing more patients and making less money. While I know intellectually it will all work out in time. Here in the now it sucks. I am happy to know that my business is gaining ground while everyone else is losing it.

I am so looking forward to my friend's client appreciation tonight. I supplied the massage therapist for free chair massages and I can use one. OVDC is on vacation this week so I didn't get adjusted this week. With all the extra work and I've been hitting the weights heavier I can feel the toll on my body.

It's funny with German girl. We've known each other for 3 years now. Not a week has gone by that we haven't emailed each other. There is no dating chemistry between us, but we both think each other is very attractive. So it was very funny yesterday on FB when she's demanding shirtless photos of me on my hikes with L.

Still Blogging & Kicking

Wow I'm missing days of blogging. That's something strange for me since I do at least one entry a day. However it's been a busy week which I'm happy about. It will be a record week unless many unforeseen events happen. With events happening the last 2 nights I haven't had time to really be on the computer for entertainment purposes. Blogging is therapeutic for me so I need to remember to find a place for it in my daily life. While the patient load has increased, money still hasn't. I know there is the insurance lag time, but I still don't have to like it. I'm not happy because I'm struggling with money. So when everything catches up it should be better. However I don't like paying bills late which seems to be the norm this month.

Every once in a blue moon my broadband connection freaks out a work. Hey today's the day. I'm use to having dial up at home and just check minor things. However at work I'm use to going where I please and to not be able to do that really sucks.

Tomorrow my Landlord leaves for a week so I'll have the place to myself. I'm pretty much take it or leave it. While I use to look forward to the air guitar time, nowadays it doesn't much matter. Unless it's dinner time we don't interact which I like. I think I'm matured through the time of having the parents out of the house to go crazy which was something I didn't have when I was younger.

Make the Jump to Hyperspace

If you remember I was trying to crack the 7 ceiling and I finally did that last week to my extreme happiness. Today I blew past 8 to a record of 9 patients for a day. Woohoo it's time for the happy dance if I wasn't so tired. It's funny a few years ago I did on average 80 patients a day and I was bored if I did 60. Although back then I did a lot less with each patient. Nowadays I'm happy with 8-10 a day. Now it's just keeping it up there.

It was a good influx of money also for the day. I'm very tired of scrounging for gas and food money. Still can't go crazy with anything since all the bills are now due. My biggest worry is if can bring Eric down or not this month. It'll all depend on when money comes in which I hate. Before last years insurance crisis I could pretty much plan on my payment dates, but since then it's been pretty ramdom which I don't like.

Is that body fluids?

It was funny today. I stopped by the thrift store on the way to my storage unit and there on the shelves was the Spanish CD's I was going to scrounge around my unit for. I was looking at them for $3 or get dirty looking for them. I know I had finally put them away not to long ago, but I had reorganized the unit so I had no clue where they would be. Well 20 minutes later and a pool of sweat I gave up. I would have to drag out more boxed than I wanted to and I was soaked from all the humidity. One thing I did learn afterwards is that I can download a different one from the virtual library at our library. I not fully understanding that, but I'll see tomorrow when I have a hi-speed connection.

My hike with L got pushed back to tomorrow so I picked up some DVD's at the library. I'm still an anime fan and I picked up Ghosthunt which turned out to be a real enjoyable series. Besides that I finished my glow in the dark puzzle. It was missing 3 pieces which the landlord joked about getting them from the thrift store. He for less than a dollar I can live with it since it's going right back there when I'm finished. This time around I'm doing a CSI puzzle. It's suppose to have a UV light to see the solution to the mystery. However the clue booklet pages are all stuck together so I think they took it so you couldn't see that it was all bodily fluids.

The Landlord announced that he would be leaving Thursday for about a week to visit family. It'll be nice to have the place to myself. However it's these times that I do realize how much I enjoy talking with someone over dinner.

Ja Booty!!!

Our monthly meet & greet went very well last night. Most everyone showed up that said they would which was great. I saw Smile girl there. I didn't say anything, even though we left off okay many months ago. Our waitress was jaw dropping attractive and I remembered my brother's comment about all the hot looking waitresses down here.

The place was awesome. It was right on the water so the breeze kept us cool from the summer heat. The place has 4-5 bars and 2 stages so it was a happening place. We told Asp and Saturn girl that they were good girls. Saturn girl was okay with it after being raised Irish Catholic, but Asp didn't take it so well for some reason. So that brought about sexual truth questions between all of us with Server guy and Savant. We did it for many hours and it was pretty damn funny with all the jokes.

I have to admit I'm enjoying how the Photographer looks at my muscles now. A couple of months ago she went to poke me and she found out that I'm more solid than when we went out. So every time we're out either she's looking at my arms or poking me.

Today I'm heading over to my storage unit to find my Spanish CD's to refresh myself. I'm trying to break everything down into bite sized pieces. If I can do 15 minutes a day I'll be very happy.
