I'm at work but not really working. I have yet to see my boss today and there was no work left in my box so I'm just chillin, surfing and doing homework. Well, the homework is also yet to be done but it is waiting for me...patiently. Like it has a choice!
I had my physical therapy yesterday. Last one that the insurance pays. My insurance covers up to $150 a year so if I really needed PT, I'd be screwed. They're doing the electric stimulation, some ultrasound and massaging it. Feels good in a weird way. Especially the electric stimulation. And the massage. The swelling is down on my foot and my ankle. The toe is still twice the side of the other one so I know not a lot of progress is being made. I have the boot I'm wearing and I'm really focusing on stepping well on my foot as to not aggravate the ankle so I think that's part of the swelling going down too. I have a Doctor's appointment the Friday after thanksgiving and I'm making a list of things I need to ask and comment about. I just really hope this will be figured out soon. The guessing game is getting kinda old.
I have another PT session next Wednesday and then I can come home afterwards. I don't have a class that day but I might work. We shall see since it's the day before thanksgiving. My professor thought no-one would show up for an 8 o'clock class that day so he put a "field trip" on the schedule. A lot of us is taking a "field trip" to see their families etc so I thought it was appropriate. My boss is not working that day but she might have stuff for me to do. I'm losing 8 hours of work on Thursday so I want to do those hours in if possible.If not then I'll just stay home. We will be going to T's moms on Thursday and stay there until at least Friday. We have the midnight madness shopping spree coming up on Friday night so it's gonna be fun. And exhausting.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about...The night of thanksgiving is the BEST time to do your x-mas shopping. The outlet mall next to T's mom's opens at midnight or at 11pm, depending on the store and people get in there around 10pm to wait in line to get into their fave stores. The stores have up to 70% off and stock up so it's filled with people, young and old, big and small. After that you go to the supermarkets which open at 2 and 4 am. Last year was obviously my first time. Me, T and JoeAnn walked to Woodbury Commons in a about -20 degrees C weather. They wanted to go to Coach which is a handbag store and get their discount in there. I waited on line with them for awhile but since it wasn't where I wanted to go I ditched them and went to shop on my own. It was SOOOO cold. This year I will bring warm clothes and bundle up like I'm going to Antarctica or something! We shopped until about 2am, then went back to T's mom's, slept for like an hour or 1,5h, got up and left for Kohl's. At this point JoeAnn's tournament endurance gave up and she stayed home. Me and T did some damage at Kohl's and then went to wait for Target to open. we waited at the parking lot for 30 min but then about 5min before the store opened we decided we were too tired to get in so we left. What a night! This year it'll be me, T, JoeAnn and Erin. Maybe other people will join us but those have committed to mad shopping! It'll be awesome! Only thing is, the Eagles are on at 8:15 and we need to go to Billy's house to watch it because T's mom doesn't have the channel.I don't know exactly how we will pull this one off but I'm sure it will be fun experience! We have decided to have a low key x-mas when it comes to our presents to each other just because we are coming to Finland in March and need to save for that. I have a feeling though that it might not work out...the low key part I mean!
the semester is almost over. I can't believe it! It's almost December already, I have few big papers to write, an exam and that's it! I have 3 courses next semester and then come May I will be graduating! It went quickly! Instead of 3 days I'll have school on 2 days and I'm hoping to work maybe 3 days a week. Do longer days than 5 hours. Soon I'll be applying for real jobs...eech! Scary in this economic environment! But at least there's gonna be a president who believes that the environment is important so hopefully there will be jobs out there...willing to hire me!
We have a big date night coming up tonight. Football and pizza! LOL! We are both too lazy to cook and our fridge is as empty as they come...I was supposed to go to the farmer's market yesterday and stock up on fruits and veggies but got caught up with my paper so I didn't go...which translates into no food. So instead of going out we will just order a pizza. I will need to check my fantasy football lineup one more time. I will have one player playing tonight. Hope he does well! PA Chiefs are going down this week!
That's it for now...I'll see how those articles I need to read for my Monday's class look like and might even do them. I could be back later or not.
Have a goof Thursday and weekend...my weekend starts in 5 hours!
