A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum...
Where to begin?
The beginning of course!
Well, it all started back in the beginning of November..and by it I mean all the dreadful things that have come to pile up over the last few weeks.
The first week was when I had a horrible cold.
Sore throat, runny nose, the works. The only symptom I didn't have was nausea and vomiting...which would have been perfect.
I was terribly sick but I still had to go to school and take care of my mother on a daily basis.
Then, two weeks ago I got into a major accident. 3 other cars were involved and my mother's van was totaled.
I have bruises where I didn't want to know I had skin to bruise and I was sore as all hell for the first week afterward.
Then, during the second week, last week, I started to feel better and life was starting to look up.
I should have been waiting for the other shoe. Really...they come in sets of threes...I should have brought an umbrella at least.
I was taking my mom to the doctors and taking the elevator to the car afterward a lady runs up as the doors are closing.
No good deed goes unpunished, I don't know who wrote it but...I really hate them for their wisdom.
Or maybe now I can sympathize with them...whatever.
I run around my mom's wheelchair to push the button to open the doors.
Running in elevators should be in the same category as running around a pool.
DONT DO IT!
I did it and coming around the wheelchair I hit it, no slam it against the edge of the wheelchair.
I go sprawling and her the ominous pop coming from my knee.
Long story short...I'm in pain.
I can hardly walk but I have to take my mom to dialysis.
I have to drive my mom there...in excruciating pain.
Then get out of the car, and remove the wheelchair from the back and wheel her in.
I don't cry or complain, I 'm a little bleeding angel for goodness sake.
This isn't the end of the day folks, its only 1pm...and I have a class at 4pm.
So, I put my knee up with ice on it for a few hours, 20 min intervals, and go to class.
This was last Thursday...my knee is still throbbing if move it too much but I still have to continue going to class, taking my mother to dialysis, and generally living my life.
Its not any fun, let me tell you.
In case you forgot...I said an umbrella earlier...and three shoes are not worth an umbrella.
The forth thing that happens is that my bank...decides to close my account and charge me the rest of my money to reopen it.
To top it off they still say I owe them 150 in overdraft charges...that I have no idea how they got there.
AND to top it ALL off, you know the accident I mentioned earlier? Its been ruled as completely my fault.
That means my insurance is doubling to 200 dollars a month from 98.
I owe them 270 dollars by the 24th of this month or my insurance cancels.
This has been a sucky month...really already but I have one more thing to add to the pile.
where I go to school there is a permit only parking lot.
One day I forgot to get the permit before I went to class, a month ago.
They are just now finally getting along to fining me for it.
45 dollar for a parking ticket....money I really don't have at this point.
I just really need to rant...I don't rant often but I really needed it this month...its been a real doosy...and I've not even started thinking about the trip to utah that my family and I are taking next week for thanksgiving.
We're driving.
Does anyone else feel a little apprehensive?
