Haven't been here since June...I'm horrible at keeping these diary things.  NO ONE has been by to leave even a "hello!".  UGH.  Am I that much of a loser?  It seems I am, because even my beloved TWG is dying a slow and painful death.  I'll be back online tonight to post a more in depth blog.

Geez!  Where do I start?  A good friend from work got fired b/c a co-worker couldn't mind her own damn business.  I can't get in to see the orthopedic specialist until Thursday which means I'm stuck in this knee brace until then.  That's the day we start learning lab at work, too.  Ummm...the van is about to die on me.  I'm hoping it gets me to the place where I bought it so I can put it in their shop before I have to be at work.  And I'm hoping it's not as bad as I think it is.  I'm trying to get this typed up quickly b/c I need to leave.  I should actually be heading out the door right this moment but I'm not.. go figure.  Ummm...writing...I actually have quite a bit of updates written but they're hand written & I haven't had a chance to get them on the computer yet.  Hopefully this coming weekend.  That's about the next time I'll be able to get online for more than a couple of minutes.  Hope all is well for everyone else.  Will check back in as soon as I can.  Love you all!

So....let my boss convince me to go to the ER last night for my knee.  Doc says I tore ligaments in there.  YAY *sarcastic eye roll*  I'm supposed to be taking today off of work, keeping it immobilized in the brace they provided, and putting no weight on it by using crutches.  In addition to taking some pain pill I have never heard of before.  He also wants me to make an appointment with some orthopedic specialist. 

Yeah, right.

I'm going to work tonight.  I use the brace as long as it doesn't get in my way, and I'm avoiding the crutches at all times.  I can't manuver or carry anything that I need to carry when I use them.  As for the pain pills, I'm getting by with Ibuprofen...although my dad is insisting on picking up the prescription for me this afternoon.  *sigh*  I'd rather just continue to deal with it.  I can't go to the orthopedic specialist...they're too expensive.  Won't get insurance from work for another couple of months or so.

Anyway...gotta go.  It's almost time for me to leave for work.  Hope everyone else is having a better time than I am.

I decided to jot down a quick entry before I head of to work for the night.  We've had an interesting weekend.  I took the kids to an amusement park, an alligator farm & petting zoo, shopping at the mall, and to see "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian".  Then we went back to the alligator farm & petting zoo the next afternoon to watch them feed the alligators.  That was interesting to see.  Somewhere along the lines, I tore or snapped something in my left knee.  It really hurts but I don't have the money to go to a doctor until at least Friday.  So working this week should prove to be really interesting.  *sigh*  That's about it for now.  I'm sure I will have more to say at a later date but I'm out of time at the moment.

Oh yeah!  If anyone knows anything about creating/uploading skins or layouts or whatever for this livejournal thing...please get in touch with me as I need major help with it!
