The Usual Chatter: I rarely have dreams that I... →

…but I just woke up from one in which I was at a major tennis match. I was sitting in the second row because I’d bought it really cheap online and all the seats around me were empty. But then people started filling in (don’t know why I came so early) and I noticed that the front rows were filled…
ok this is an amazing dream. I dreamed about trying to escape a tornado last...

I'm reading "Stranger in the Village of the Sick"
It’s by Paul Stoller and an ethnography about his own cancer diagnosis and how he dealt with it through his studies in West Africa as an apprentice to a sorcerer.
The book, although slow at times, is truly fascinating and is helping me look at my knee injury in a different light.
I’m happy my professor assigned this to read for Medical Anthropology. It’s eye opening really.

I wish I believed myself when I say I'm never...
Because last night was absolutely insane. It wasn’t bad until we got out to this bar and everyone kept buying me shots and for some reason I kept taking them like I LIKE hard alcohol. But we all know that’s a lie.
By the end of the night I was so drunk and I think I peed in somebody’s driveway on the way to the metro. We caught the last one at 3 AM and I was hysterical at...

Stairwell workouts...
Yesterday I had an interesting workout. Erin and I were going to go check out the gym but then it started pouring and we figured out that we would probably not be able to get in there anyways. So we went into the stair well…
And started running stairs.
I know what you’re thinking. Why the hell would I run up and down stairs for twenty minutes with my knee being such a bitch? And...

Gonna go scope out the gym at my sister's...
Not like there’s much I can do BUT I’m bored and I’ve done more work today than usual (my usual is NOTHING).
Ha. I wrote three pages (DREAM BIG) for my novel and read 60 pages of a really good book (Cutting For Stone) for class. Everyone should read that book. It’s kinda slow at first and a little wordy but it’s honestly quite captivating.

Flogging Molly Tonight!
I’m excited but we haven’t quite decided how we are getting there yet. I think we should take a cab so we don’t have to deal with trying to park and paying but there isn’t really a consensus yet.
Last night’s drive was crazy. Once we got into Virginia the road construction was intense and I had to concentrate so hard so I wouldn’t drive right into a concrete...

Again, thanks
Thanks for all the responses on my doctor posts, I read them all but there is just a lot to reply to. Wanted to say thanks again because you guys always know what to say and I love the advice you give. I will be going back to my surgeon in a couple of weeks so I guess we will see what’s up then. Hopefully.
This morning I just finished my blueberry mini wheats so that’s already a...

okayyyyyy
So yesterday’s appointment was really disappointing. This doctor had to have the worst bedside manner in the entire world. He walks in and starts asking me about my knee. Asks about my history and the procedures I’ve had done. He mentions that there is an off “divet” on my kneecap that showed up on the X-ray and asked if I ever fractured it, especially when I initially...

I just need some time to sort thoughts out.
Thanks for all the support though. you guys are the best.
The doctor said I could never run again.
What?

I hate that the other tutor always eats at work
since it’s completely quiet in the room all I can hear is her eat her food and it grosses me out since we’re pretty much right next to each other :(
I have to wake up at 5 AM tomorrow to go to my doctor’s appointment. Ugh, but I just want it to be over with already.
I’m not really sure what I want to do in the pool tomorrow if I am going to try and go long on Wednesday...

I have a headacheeee
and the hour long pool running workout really didn’t help. I felt so stiff and lethargic in the pool, it was honestly an enormous struggle to make it through the workout today.
Now I’m drinking some coffee until my meeting at one. Then it’s work, work, work, work, work, work, work! So much to caught up on after this weekend.

I just want tuesday to come
so I can maybe know what’s going on with my knee. Or at least have a plan of action.
The weekend is over and when I am left alone with my thoughts well I just get overwhelmingly sad again.
I can’t focus on any of my work and I’ve been trying all day. I have so much due this week and all I want to do is sleep forever.
I’m so tired of the pain. It’s with me...
Trying to write an ethnography for medical...
I can’t write. I have so much work to do. I stayed up drinking till 4 AM last night.
I want to eat all the fruit in the world.
And writing about my knee right now while it aches like a little bitch isn’t helping.
I need all the fruit in the world. It tastes so good right now.
