It's been an interesting few weeks.

I haven't been working much, due to my knee issues.  Still have not been in to see the specialist, but I will be doing that next week.  Been waiting to get the money so I can actually be taken care of.  Not having health insurance is a bitch.

Not having cash around because I haven't been working due to my DISLOCATED knee, even more of a bitch.

The fact that it took the two emergency room and one other visit to the specialist for them to figure out a dislocation was the problem in the first place....fucking nonsense. Luckily my tax return finally came in so I didn't get kicked out of my apartment.  My roommate would have likely had to go back to Nebraska, which he would have hated, and I would have had to go back to Cali, which I would have hated more.  I would move back to Nebraska before I moved back to Cali. Serious shit.

Anyhow, that issue resolved, now it's time to keep working on this bad knee so I can finish out this lease and move somewhere else.  This apartment was okay for the transition time I've spent here since leaving (albeit temporarily) Omaha, but it's time to find a new place. Sick of all the DV going on here constantly, the meth heads that live downstairs, blah blah.

Time to find a new apartment, will start looking as soon as I get this damn knee fixed.  It really is holding me up and causing nothing but misery right now.

I also plan on getting a second job.  I spend a lot of my time remembering the days when I had two full-time jobs and I never had to worry about things like getting behind in the rent if I had/wanted to take a few days off for whatever reason.  I miss being able to go on vacation whenever I want, to wherever I want and know that I have money in the bank when I get home.

Being in this situation is pretty much my own fault though.

I have spent most of my life (and apparently have not broken this habit) doing for everyone else.  Putting my life on hold to accommodate the needs of the ones I love. I know some people would consider this non-beneficial behavior, but what can I say?

It's just who I am, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

So I will do what I know.  I will get a second job and spend what time I don't spend on homework, working.  I will pay off what few debts I have, I will get a car again, FINALLY (it's time lol) and I will get my comfy life back.

The nice thing for me is I don't require much.  As long as I can go to my concerts, buy my comics and music, I'm good.

Next quarter will see me back on campus, in the field of study I actually wanted to really be in.  Well, second, I already have a degree for the first (for all the good it's done me).  Can't wait for that. I'm applying for management at Wendy's, maybe they can find me a location close to the school, and that would be the best excuse ever to move into the Seattle area, which is where I really want to be.  Work and personal wise, it would be ideal, as that is where most of my best friends (my true family) live.
.
Now off to do some homework, hopefully, if I can stop being distracted by bad kitties and a bored roommate.

Cheers!!

So this knee issue is really starting to piss me off.  I hate being incapacitated, I have too much to do in my life without the interference of an injury.  I'm supposed to wait for a month before I go back to the doctor so they can make a final decision about surgery or what have you.

I'm not going to make it that long.

I will be going back to the hospital some time this weekend, they are going to do something about this, one way or another.  The pain is ridiculous, my other leg, my GOOD leg is now starting to give out. Rolled my ankle a bit ago just trying to take the few steps from my living room into my bedroom. A whole lot of suck.

Well, at least I got the grocery shopping done, thanks to my good friend Miss Rose who drives me pretty much wherever I need to go.  If it wasn't for her, life would be a hell of a lot more difficult.  It's good that is out of the way now, as I have to concentrate on homework this weekend.

Right now though, I'm going to concentrate on making this fucking pain in my knee go away while I'm playing my game. That's right, it's game time!! As I am an officer in my guild, it is my responsibility (as I see it) to be able to answer questions for my guildies about the game in general.  Part of this is done by having one type of each profession and knowledge on the different and best ways to run them.  Also a general knowledge of all the area maps is helpful. With the addition of crafting and an assortment of other new things in the game, it could almost be a job!

I fucking wish....*sigh*

Well, off to my favorite place, gaming world....peace and harmony (for my brain).

Cheers!! :)

Oh life, how you love to play games with me!!

Ssoooooo....went to the orthopedic surgeon this morning, because my bad knee has officially told me.."fuck you bitch" lol Doctor says..

1) "We will try some physical therapy first to see if that helps. Keep your knee braces on, use your crutches."  Somehow, in the deep reaches of my brain, this does not truly make sense, but hey, I didn't spend a decade in med school/training/etc. so what do I know?

2) "You know why your knee is so bad? You have NO cartilage left in your knee." So THAT'S what that weird grinding sound I'm always hearing is!! XD Yes, you can hear bone on bone, oddly interesting.

3) "Come back and see me in one month, I will let you know then if you are still gonna need surgery." I think that's a given at this point.

This is day 5 at home...omhfg if I need surgery and I have to be home for longer than that afterwords.

NOW do you people see why I hate doctors?!?!?! >.<

I really am bored out of my fucking mind.

You see, I'm one of those weirdos who actually LIKES to work. I like to stay busy, due to my aversion to sleep.  It explains all my time spent on video games, doing this, maintaining fan pages, blah blah.

I was actually out of the house for a few hours today (doctor appointment and all) and it was great!! Didn't do anything but it was better than being where I am now...in bed again.

Homework tonight, in just a bit.  Doing pretty good on that one, just gotta work on my computer lab and my final project (easy). Then probably back to gaming, as I'm balls deep into my game again, think I may have mentioned that, and probably will again many, MANY times.

Looks like I'm off for a bit to go run some errands, will talk at y'all later!

Cheers!
