on the not so bright side of things....

Well, something tragic happened Wednesday night….

I had just gotten home from a very long day of school + extra curricular activities and was doing my usual thing when I get home—getting the mail, emptying the coffee pot, watering my flowers, etc…..

I was so elated because I just bought these two ferns from McDades…and I watered them good and proper…

Then I went inside and tied up a very full garbage bag and as I was taking out the trash, I slipped and fell down these steps…

And when I landed at the bottom of the steps, I quickly looked around to see if anyone saw me…and then I tried to pull myself up and hobble back up the stairs on one foot and I limpingly made it to my couch…

Where I promptly burst into tears—not because of the pain (which it was very painful) but because I knew that this would put me out of my normal routine and activities for a little while.

As suspected, it’s a pretty bad sprain. One of the physical therapists at school looked at it yesterday and wrapped it for me….and told me it would be a minimum of 2 weeks before I could begin to put full pressure on it or even think about walking normally.

I looked up at her and said, “but I jog every morning”…

She looked down at me and said, “not anymore you don’t”….

Devastated.

This is now how I’ve been spending the past few days….

In an attempt to be positive I guess I could say it happened so that I’ll be forced to study for the next few weeks because lord knows I have more to study than usual and I haven’t been doing it…so, now…I have no more excuses…there is basically nothing else I can do except study (and watch tv and movies).

At any rate, I hope you enjoy this weekend—and Palm Sunday.

As always,

Jen
