i don't know how many people know what my year has been like, but it has been eventful. 20 mins into it, i slipped in my bathroom and twisted my ankle and had to be on crutches and out of work. 6 days later, i slam my middle finger in the door to a van on the way to church. I still went, just got some supplies from wal-mart. i did lose the fingernail eventually. the next week i get strep throat. i am out of work again for four days. three of those days i have a 103 fever that never breaks. it was bad. 15 days later, strep comes back and i am on another round of meds. 16 days later i am sick again! this time, with the flu. not only that, but i have types a AND b and have to be off of work for 5 days!!!!! on the third day, there is a tornado. thankfully i am in bham being taken care of by my parents, but it totals my car and damages my apartment. then i got pneumonia because i was not in bed the whole time because of having to come back to pville after the tornado and making sure my pets are ok and my things. then i bought a new car. then there was the cold sore that developed under my nose right when i had to have my annual eval and my boss stopped talking to me because he couldn't stop staring.
Well, it has been a minute since anything has happened (feb.). but last sunday i decided i would ride on the back of a motorcycle. i have never ridden one before and have been really afraid and thought that i would conquer that fear and have some fun! and i totally did! we just rode down the way and back, but it was really a fun time and I am so totally glad i had that experience. but when i was getting on my pant leg came up and i burned myself on the muffler. there isn't in skin on my leg at this point, but it's healing. i didn't even say anything at the time, but it hurts.
i tell you this not to feel sorry for me because i think it is hilarious! I am such a target for stuff happening! I promised myself a long time ago that i wouldn't be victim, and i'm not. i laugh at everything that happens and just keep on going. sometimes i think it is the devil trying his best to get me down, but it's not going to work! besides, it just makes for a good story to tell.
