Things have taken a crazy twist around here, to say the least.
Courtney has taken some steps back... in some areas. BUT, taking some HUGE steps forward in others! There is just never any rhyme or reason to her sometimes.
Last week I started 1 single class... online. I LOVE IT!!! I almost feel like it really isnt challenging enough for more... and I think next time around, I may over load my plate. Typical thing I do. But right now I am just left feeling like I want MORE. I am getting GREAT feedback from my teacher and she suggests that after this class I step it up and try something that would be more fit to my skill level in the area.... which would mean a different school. I am pretty stoked!!! I was really beginning to wonder if I had it in me... but hearing her remarks on the work I have turned in so far... she said I have the talent and the skills... just need to fine tune a few areas, which I knew were an issue with me. She thinks she can do that with this class... and pass me off to a more difficult program! Time will tell!!!
I guess I better get creative with our budgeting now... so if/when the time does come, it isnt something I have to turn down because of lack of funding!
So, another twist this week... I f**ked up my knee... big time!!
I have been having an ongoing issues with my hip... well, because of that, and my deep need to be out in the woods... I now have a major knee issue. I had a tear repair about 6+ yrs ago... which I was told may or may not hold up for 2-3 yrs (if I was lucky) because of the severity of the tear. WELL... of course... they are thinking I re-tore the original tear... which was an ugly one... so that means it probably even worse!
BUT... the kicker with our health care system... they cant just do an MRI on my knee. Even though I have a history of an extreme injury. NOPE... the insurance wants to see them "try" to just band aid the situation BEFORE they actually find out what they are trying to band aid. Which REALLY pisses me off. Soooo... I got a nice steroid injection in my knee... which has made the whole situation worse!!! I am in freakin pain, no one will even look at my hip... which was the start of this whole mess... and maybe next week I will be able to schedule an MRI for my knee.
My plan... Monday I am calling the original Dr who did the repair... and getting an appt to see him. I liked him. He did the surgery even tho there was a huge chance he wouldnt be able to repair the tear in the first place. AND, he didnt make me wait around in pain forever! He told me back then I had some issues with my hip that would need to be addressed in the future. IT IS THE FUTURE!!! So lets figure this shit out!!! Hiking is all I have left. I have had to give up EVERYTHING else. I am not very happy about any of this.
This is the shit you have to deal with when you spend so much of your life abusing your body and pushing it to the limits. In all honesty tho... I wouldnt give up a second of it. I lived life... I had a blast... and I can honestly say I have done more things than most ppl! I just wish I wasnt stuck on my ass now. BLAH!!
I am getting a lot of crocheting done! I am fine tuning my hat pattern... and I am lovin it. I got 2 hats completely finished today. 2 are waiting for some finishing touches. 1 is being crocheted now.
I have decided to start crafting my ass off... and storing my creations for next years craft fairs! I am hoping before Stacy calls it a day today... he will cut some wood for me... I have some things in my mind I want to create for our Thanksgiving Feast! And some to put away.
I already have this years Christmas ornaments decided on. Once I make it through Thanksgiving...I will be starting on them!! :-)
Ah, yes... Thanksgiving.... We are expecting our biggest crowd yet... and I will be preparing with a knee injury! Good thing I am always up for a challenge!!!
This Wednesday we will be meeting to go over all of the paper work for getting Courtney into college... I am almost afraid of what our part of the college bill will be! I am just hoping that we can have Courtney completely through college and a degree in her hand BEFORE it is Brittany's turn to start!!!
Nathan made HONOR ROLL this marking period!!! I am super proud of him!!! He is doing a GREAT job at working on his stuff ... on his own! He is able to keep his grades up... and knows he can come to me whenever he needs to. I think, now that I am in a class... it is only fair that I have to keep my grades up and posted on the fridge like he does! :-)
It is so weird that after I get through the day of school with Nathan and Britt... I have my own school work to do!
I am so happy with my decision.
That is all I can sit here and type at the moment. My knee is killing me and needs propped back up with some ice. THIS SUCKS!!!!
I feel bad... Stacy and his dad are up working on the roof again today... and I wasnt able to make them anything to eat today. Stacy had to throw some burgers on... and make one for me!! Boy, that is a huge switch!!!
I did manage to hobble along, with my crutches, at the grocery store last nite to pick up the main things we will need for our Thanksgiving Feast! It was rough... but I managed, with Stacy and Brittany's help! We did miss a few things... but I just couldnt keep going anymore... we will have to pick up some things early next week.
Hmmmm.... I think I need an icee tonite! LOL! :-D
