...don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel...
my brother had surgery today. i took my lunch hour to meet my parents at the hospital. he was suppose to get out of surgery while i was there. but even though they said it was a 2 1/2 hr surgery, they didnt move him into recovery while i was there. so i had to leave without seeing him.
i saw him when i got home from work. he's doing really well. he went into this being REALLY laid back, but that's just usually how he is anyways. but he's up and about on his crutches and has a machine in his bed that excerises his knee.
poor Evie. :o( he tore his ACL and Meniscus...so they had to fix all that and do a graft to replace the torn parts. ouch. he hasn't really complained about pain yet...but i wont be suprised if it'll come sooner or later.
speaking of knee injuries, i ran into Coach Ski and Donald. it was good to see them. i need to make sure i stop by to see her before i leave.
i sure haven't been wanting to go to work lately. i really can't do this monotonous, routine life. i can't do the same thing over and over. i get sick of routine FAST. school is starting soon...that's definitely not monotonous. something new/crazy/weird everyday. i definitely need to make every effort to achieve the kind of life and future i want...because this blue collar, everyday boring life sure is NOT my bag of peaches. to someone, that may be the ideal life and future. but for me, it would make me very very unhappy.
i don't mind working. that's not it at all. i actually really like working, ewhich is scary because i know i'm gonna be a workaholic when i'm older. i just don't like doing the same thing everyday...that's all.
over the summer, i have figured out that i HATE settling. i get restless really easily. i need constant movement, differences between yesterday and tomorrow. something to look forward to, something to work towards...not something that feels like a track on repeat.
hmm...we'll see. give me a few years!
well, i wish i could stay awake long enough to get stuff done...like pack, work on the website, or call people. but i keep falling asleep.
ok, well, my eye has been hurting cuz its swollen. so i'm gonna go to bed. night night.

this last story is for Mike...cuz it'll make him laugh:
today at work, we had this middle-aged/older salesman come into the store. Lisa and I had to keep him busy while Linda worked with a customer. so, we were asking him questions and i asked what city he worked out of. i've been asking the salepeople this in case they visit San Antonio, and know of jewelery stores i might be able to work at.
so he says he's in San Antonio and he found out thats where i go to school. well, then he started hitting on me. asking me questions like if i live on campus, if i ever eat OFF campus...how often...where. he asked if i ever make it to...i don't know...he named two bars, and a few restuarants that i knew were close to campus.
so after a while, i start getting uncomfortable and walk into the back room. anyways, he finally gets around to leaving. and he kept telling me...i needed to come by and visit him at his office, and if i EVER needed anything..i knew where to find him..."even if is a shoulder to lean on."
okaaaay. just a little creepy. you know, i've lived in SA for a year on my own...i think i'll be fine the second go around.
