Geez its be a long time again since I posted. Well the ankle has all healed for the most part. It will never be the same again. Still fatter then the other ankle and it aches now.
I am still scrapping, but wrapping up alot of swaps, and trying to do it all in a month and half time. This is going to take some cracking down and speed scrapping, lol. No, just have to get some much done a day with it. I have dropped alot of participation in them. I am only keeping my CMM group, the 2011 b-day card swap, and on occasion a monthly envie swap. Other then that I am going to work on my own projects if I have the time to.
I am starting school in April, on the 4th. I am going to be going to school online. Its a accredited school and well respected. Their is even a campus locally, but they have yet to have the program I wanted added yet. So I am doing it online and saving myself the hassle of travel time, missing school cause of bad weather, or being sick. Its more flexible this way. I am going for my A.A.S degree in Medical Reimbursement Technology. After I get that and get started in my career with that, plan to go back and get my B.S. in Healthcare Adminstrative Management.
I am not dropping out this time. I do and will not be a server in 10yrs. I just can't do it. I would be depressed and still in a dead end JOB. I don't want a JOB, I want a career. I want finiancial security, 401K and medical and dental coverage. Life insurance and all that stuff. Plus a good paying salary.

My Accident with my ANKLE...
Oh gotta tell you ladies what I did last night. I picked up a day shift yesterday at work, got through it. Ran errands in betweeen my night shift. Got back to work, was working in my evening station in the lower bar area. Well we all know I am clumsy sometimes or prone to getting bruises and such.
(long story, sorry)
Well I had just taken an order from some guest and went to take the hostess the menu's. Stepped up the two steps to put them down, turned around and went to step down the step, and my heel caught the top part of the step. My ankle twisted adn turned outwards, popped and I went down on my tuckus. The pain shot up my ankle and leg. It brought me to tears immediately. My guests jumped up to help me up and ask if I was alright. I was like yes, I am alright. Manager made me sit for a few minutes. I asked him to go get me a ace bandage, taht I had my knee brace in my bag, but not a ace bandage, he gladly went and got one. We were sorely understaffed last night. I managed to get through 4 hours of working with it wrapped and very carefully not moving it to the lef tor right, if I did, it shoot a pain up my leg like fire.
I filled out work incident report and came home to have youngest daughter take me to emergency room. I was going to drive, but she wouldn't let me, lol. They took xrays and all that, spent 3 hours there. It wasn't broken, but badly sprained. I tore or pulled alot of tendons around the ankle. My ankle looks like a golf ball on the outer side, lol. They put a very comfortable new type of brace on my foot, it has gel type stuff like the eye patches you use on your eyes. Its on the sides of the ankle brace or foot brace. Then it velcros around leg. Its comfortable and keeps me from moving it sideways.
I got four days off work, to R.E.S.T it. I can't go back til Saturday. Thankfully I only miss Thursday shift. Still sucks. I lost like $50 last night, not being able to close and $100 tomorrow for not being able to work. UGH. They gave me some nice pain killers though and for the inflammation as well. They said it would take like 6 weeks to fully heal.
Funny thing is, I spent 6 hours running errands today, prescriptions, food, other stuff. Now I am pooped and taking a nap for a minute.
