Taxes, Lube and Broken Noses

Sarah and I talk allll the time, whether by email or phone. Here, our latest conversations:

Today:
Sarah: Have you gotten all your W-2’s yet?
Me: Yeah, I need to get my taxes filed…I hope I don’t have to pay!
Sarah: I’ve already stocked up on lube so when they stick it to me it won’t hurt as bad!
Me: Just practice grabbing your ankles, you’ll be fine!
Sarah: I know, I need to start stretching so I can hold on tight and not throw my back out!

Yesterday:
Me: My nose surgery is March 22nd
Sarah: You’re going to look horrible on my birthday!!!!
Me: Yeah, I love you too!
Sarah: I know, but really, it’s going to hurt you to laugh when we’re at the comedy club!
Me: Well, you could always come to my house, take my pain meds with me, and we could stare at the wall, entranced with it’s whiteness 🙂
Sarah: Or, I could go to dinner with Andrew and my parents!
Me: Yeah, you could do that too 🙂

Ahhh, the things we say!!

Soooo

I took the day off today for some appts I had scheduled together, rather than take a little time here and there. It’s easier this way for me.

So I started off the morning at my regular docs office, getting my ankle examined. For those of you that don’t know, I’ll give you the Cliff’s Note Version:
Painting bathroom
Balancing on sides of tub
Big boom
Torn ligaments, tendons, etc in right ankle
So my Kaiser doc told me that I was allll better. I went back to wearing heels. About a week ago, I noticed my ankle was hurting again. I ignored it and dealt with everything that was going on. But, it started swelling, and really hurting. So, I find out today it’s still messed up, I should have NEVER been wearing heels, and now I may never be able to again. Oh yeah, and a lot of physical therapy is in my very near future. YUCK! But hey, whatever makes this shit feel better right? ‘Cause walking like a gimp is getting old!

After that, it was off to ortho to get my new retainer for my stubborn tooth that keeps wanting to move. They didn’t make my new retainer though, and didn’t call me. They decided they could modify my current retainer. So, I drove 2 towns over for nothing!

I decided to stop by Mervyn’s and look at shoes, flat ones…my GOD are they ugly!!!! AND, none of them are on sale, they’re all freakin’ expensive!!! So, no shoes.

Now we’re off to ENT. See, I can’t breathe out of my nose, and it affects the way things drain, and it makes my ears hurt. So the doc says he’s going to break my nose, do a bunch of crap that involves cutting and bleeding, and when I wake up, 2 1/2 hours later, I’ll be in an assload of pain, and I’ll have a cast thing on my nose. Oh, and I’ll be off work for a week, with good drugs. See, that was my deal with the doc. He can cut on me if I get good drugs afterwards 🙂

Oh, we’re having Ariel’s birthday this weekend. Sarah and I are going to take Ariel to San Fran for the day and have a girl day, then we’re going to have a nice dinner here at the house, with cake. Oh, and presents! It’ll be lots of fun 🙂 And then next weekend, I’m heading back up to Aunt Betty’s house. Theoretically, I’ll even take picture this time! Yeah, I left the camera in the car last weekend. The pictures I did take I took in about 5 min. Oops!

So here we are, at the end of the day, and what have we learned? March 22nd is going to hurt, flat shoes are ugly, Saturday I’m going to eat my weight in things I shouldn’t be eating, and…hmmmm…oh yeah, I still love my newly straight hair 🙂
