Alive and breaking legs...
So yeah...
I'm alive, more or less. I just needed to step back and take a break from Livejournal there for a while. Plus, RL got hella busy you could say.
I worked for 9 months at that tough school with all the troubled kids. Which was tough, but oddly rewarding at the same time. My colleague there was... eccentric to say the least and didn't exactly do what he was supposed to. Which he'd hidden from the higher ups. Until I got there. So I hope things will be sorted there now. From what I've heard, he is getting a lot of orders from bosses and stuff to actually do his job. Which, you know... wouldn't have been a problem. If it wasn't for the fact his health is... less then good. I suspect they'll be without a school-librarian there before long. :-P
My employment there ended, so I am now at another school-library. At another school which is both more and less to do. The school I'm at now is really REALLY working with the library so I have A LOT of classes and stuff which is fun and interesting.
(I even dressed up for one of them... ;-) )
And my colleagues there are fun and a bit crazy in just the right amount, which makes me feel RIGHt at home. And it's located next door to Alexandra's daycare. So it takes me ten mins to walk to Alexandra's daycare and 2 mins from there to work. It's bloody perfect. :-)
But of course.... I had to go break my leg.
No really. I literary broke my leg. I was walking to Alexandra's daycare, same road I walk every day, this Friday. The ice was really slippery that day so I made sure to walk slowly and carefully.
Apparently not enough, because all of a sudden my feet just disappeared from under me and I heard a crack when the leg broke and then all I could focus on was pain - pain - pain... And Alexandra crying. Since it was just me and her alone. Luckily it happened outside a house so the guy there called the ambulance right away and two women stayed one taking care of Alexandra and one taking care of me as much as they could. Called peting73 as well, so he could rush from work to take care of ALexandra. He arrived just before the ambulance did.
Once at the hospital I didn't have to wait long before I ended up in surgery where they put metal parts in my leg to keep it fixed in place. And a big cast.
So currently I am feeling absolutely worthless. I can't help peting73 with anything at home. And Alexandra has trouble understanding why mom can't play with her like I used to. I'm more or less stuck on either the couch or on the chair by the computer. It sucks mayorly.
Now I'm on prolonged sick leave. 3 months. And I'll have a cast on for two months at least. I'll probably go nuts before that time is over. :-P
