A little bit of this...

my boss left for the day but there's still 45 minutes before my work day ends so this is a good time to blog a little. I had my monthly doctor's appointment on Monday, he says it looks good, we're making progress and blah blah blah. Time and physical therapy will hopefully make it better but my foot might never be 100% again. Awesome. I guess my plans for running a marathon can be thrown out the window...I guess I won't be representing Finland in the Olympics anytime soon...I guess I won' become the next hot foot model...but at least I can walk and the pain, for the most part is gone. Going down the stairs is still a little difficult and I need support from the railing and can't carry anything heavy in my lap but it's getting better. I have come up with my own kind of "running down the stairs" in our apartment so I'm moving around. At this point the Doc said he can't really give me any medication because it seems to be getting better by itself and as far as pain meds go, next up from what I've been given so far are the opiates, vicodin and other hard stuff. So yeah, I'm going to physical therapy twice a week for the foreseeable future and see where it takes me. I submitted my insurance claim to Finland for all of this, lets see if they are giving me any money back.

I saw that Kela, the good old Kela wants over a 1000 euros back from me for student aid from 2007...yeah NOT gonna happen! that agency is nothing but pain in the ass. What's the point of being a grown up and having been moved away from home for almost 10 years now and not being accountable to your mom if you need to explain every friggin penny to Kela???? Seriously! That amount should come to 0 once I show them all my earnings were for the months BEFORE I was a student. And now shouldn't they understand that BY THEMSELVES if I am a customer of their ABROAD OFFICE?!?!?!? how would I be getting paid from Finland if I'm studying in the USA???? That place seriously pisses me off. Love the few hundred you give me every month though! Thank you and please sent them again next month.

I'm reading the twilight book now, I'm about 90 pages short from completing it. I'm not sure whether I like the book better than the movie. I usually prefer to read the book before seeing the movie just so that other people's ideas aren't clouding my view but in this case, I keep going back to the movie thinking I really liked it the way it was. It is definitely one of the movies everyone needs to see and it can be seen many times and probably gets better over time and after many viewings.

We went to see Slumdog Millionaire last Saturday with our friends Shari and Lea in PA. It was AWESOME! So good. Other than seeing that it got nominated for like a 100 Oscar's, I didn't know anything about the plot. Words cannot describe how awesome the movie was. GO SEE THAT MOVIE!!!

Tonight T is going to a gala in the city with Shari and rub elbows with Maya Angelou and Sigourney Weaver. I'm gonna stay home, watch the crossover episode of Gray's anatomy and Private Practice and order Chinese! I didn't take anything out to defrost so I won't be cooking tonight.

My weekend starts in 22 minutes.
Later peeps!
