I am so frustrated right now I could just scream. I have been renting my house for almost 2 months and I have been able to stay in it maybe a total of 5 days. First I had no heat. Then the tub leaked. We got the heat taken care of. Today, we went to fix the tub so I could finally finish moving...

Finally, I get some rest. After Christmas, after Thanksgiving, now I get some rest. I have been going nonstop the past 2 1/2 weeks. Since I started working, it seems like my days off are filled with working on my house and that is going nowhere. I moved in for like 2 weeks and then had to move...

Lately I have really been struggling with this whole concept of “work your way into it”. That is what the doctor told me to do regarding my ankle. He said I wasn't healed yet, but I was to work my way into regular activities. “Work your way into it”. I cannot think of words that disturb me more...

Okay, so here I am. It's 4:25 am and I am here writing. Why? Because I can't sleep. I've been up since about 3:30 because I'm sick and can't breathe. I've been sick since Sunday. It hit me really suddenly too. I woke up that morning to go to practice and I just did not feel good. Saturday I had...

Today was an absolute mess. I totally lost it. Like totally. I was sobbing and I was mad and sad and I hated it. I took 30 minutes out of my day to be completely, utterly selfish. And I kinda feel better. For the past month I have been stuck on the couch due to my broken ankle. Because of the...

Well, another weekend has come and gone. Same old, same old. We are getting closer to the 4th of July though, and that makes me happy. That means the show is almost here! At first I wasn't too sure about performing in front of a lot of people at the park, but now I'm starting to get excited...

Alrighty. So I did it, and I got baptized. I survived. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was still pretty traumatic, but I am more comfortable with water now. I was shaking the whole time. I did get water in my cast. It took about a day and a half to dry out. It doesn't stink...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Okay, now that I have that out of my system...I'm getting baptized tomorrow. I am scared to death of water and I'm getting baptized in a pool. A pool! Of water! A big pool! I can't believe I'm actually doing this. I'm so nervous. There is no way I'll be able to sleep tonight...

Twiggy reads my blog. Hi Twiggy. It's finally Friday. 3 more weeks in the cast to go. I go back to the doctor on July 14. In the meantime, I sit here. I've been reading this health book lately. Since I have no choice but to sit on my butt and hope I heal right, I can just imagine gaining all...

Yeah, well it's not getting any better. Fortunately though, I did get the joy of my life taking a shower today. Woot! I never knew it could be such a life changing event. Suddenly for an hour after hot water, I felt rejuvinated! Then I realized that regardless of whether or not I am clean and...

The past two weeks have just been a mess. And it's not going to get any better for at least another month. I broke my ankle on the 2nd. Broke a piece of the bone completely off. I just got my cast on 4 days ago. And the doctor ordered me to stay on my butt for the next 4 weeks and keep it up. I...

So I am sitting here watching tv, and there is a documentary on about ants. (Yes, laugh now at my geekness!) It is absolutely incredible! These little ants from Brazil strip trees of their foliage in days cutting the leaves into little shapes with their mandables and carry them 1/2 of a mile...
