selling the drama
I am tired. This has been a super-long week.
And I don't think it'll stop next week either.
A new quarter has started at Clark, and the girl I've been tutoring got a B in her class last term, which means she passed (yay!), and she has one more class to go, so my services are still needed. I really love T. I'm happy to help her out, but I am sick of writing 5 paragraph essays and trying to explain steps to write them. I just do it naturally! I didn't major in snobby English for a reason...and teaching? Uh...no!
I am going to PT as of 2 weeks now. It keeps me busy, especially cause I have to take c-van and I have to guess at the times...but it is helping so much! The pain is from my bad posture and scoliosis, as I suspected. We've been heating and icing and using ultrasounds and electrodes. It's been working! My back still hurts, but it feels better. What I don't get is the animosity other disabled people have against PT. PT has saved my life several times. I wish I had more of it.(I smell a WW post.)
And they're making me wear my ankle braces. They hurt and I cried the first time they put them on in protest, but it's good for me. I'm trying to be brave!
I did have a scare yesterday. I mistook a curb cut that wasn't there at a corner and managed to topple myself and my 300 pound chair. My arm was pinned under my chair but luckily a car was passing by and I screamed for help. They freed my hand, righted my chair and lifted me back in my chair. I didn't help much. My legs felt like jelly. My chair still works good. I have knee scrapes, and a huge gashes on my arm, but other than that, I'm fine. It scares me to think what could have happened. I am one blessed girl!
We applied for a job this week with the VA. And I am going to a job fair next week.
Oh, and I'm giving a talk on Sunday. I need to write it out. I'm way nervous, which is odd. I don't remember being so nervus in long time. Weird.
I'm also going to a relief society (church thing) tomorrow.
I've also had a major case of bad attitude lately. I am trying so hard to practice restraint. I so want to be snarky to people -- especially with their comments on FB. I've probably have gone too far in some instances, but it's hard sometimes. I want to tell people their husband/wife/kid(s) is either way hot/cute or extremely ugly. I want to tell the person who keeps shouting praises about her newlywed husband that everybody loves their husband 3 weeks in. Talk to me in 30 years. (Maybe I'm just bitter...)I want to tell someone else I think he's a pig. I am upset about people marrying child brides. (Yep, way bitter...) Sure, 18 or 19 is legal, but I still think it's wrong. Girls need to grow up. I don't are how mature you are/think you are. OK, I've seen exceptions...but not in these couples. And I would just like to hit the girl who makes fun of my religion...and don't get me started on politics... (I should be used to it.)
And then, I have a friend with a FB and I've been waiting for him to friend me and he isn't and it's bothering me...I should just send a friend request to him, but hen he has the power. The twisted games I play. Not to mention the chick from high school that won't friend me (after 2 or 3 requests), then unfriend's me. And I really shouldn't care. I know. It's stupid.
Everything and everybody has been getting on my nerves lately. I need a job.
Oh, and the Blazers are in the play-offs. Go Blazers!
