Hello Peeps!

I thought I would give the ole keyboard here a whirl since I had not really written anything in a while other than my Friday questions.
I am so amazed that Christmas is so close. Can you believe it is Christmas in like 13 days? Holy crap! Where has this time gone? We have not even put up a tree and I know we wont by now. Well at least we have the outside lights on as decorations. I have missed all of our vendor lunches and nice dinners from work and they had our company Christmas party last Friday night of which we did not go to. That kind of makes me sad because it feels like the holidays are just passing me right by while I am recooperating still. Life isnt always fair and that sucks sometimes. I am supposed to go to the doctor this Thursday to be evaluated and to see about returning to work. This is the third try at getting into the doctor's office because they have had to cancel my appointments twice already. I had to get more paperwork filled out last week for work and that was a friggin nightmare. Talk about testing my last nerve! I finally got it straightened out after a week of phone calls. I am still going to PT three times a week and most likely I will go back to work half days for a few weeks while I am still continuing to heal. PT is still going pretty good. They have me walking on the treadmill for five minutes and then I walk backwards on there for another five minutes. A bit strange but it is all part of building up that quad. I am doing the weight machines and have bought an ankle weight set so I can do my exercises at home too and I will be able to take them to work too which will help me to not be so stiff when sitting while building up that quad muscle at the same time.

I am blown away that this eight weeks has just flown by so quickly. It does not seem like I have been off that long already but I guess it is time to get back into life again and get moving huh? You know I had all these grand ideas about things I would be able to do while I was off recooperating and it really has not turned out that way.... I thought in my mind that I would have plenty of time to blog and do artwork and to work on my book and get it finished... well you know what? I havent even opened my book once! Not friggin once! And of course you of all people know I have not been the bloggin fool that I thought I was going to be... I guess things dont always turn out as planned.

It has been sort of a lesson for me in more ways than one. For one I am not comfortable not being able to do the things I had planned or wanted to do. Two.. I have had to go with the flow according to my recovery and my pain and comfort levels which has changed alot of what my time off has been. Three... I dont like it when I dont feel in control. Four.... I cannot ever be a solitary person and not have contact with the outside world and friends... that has absolutely drove me crazy and left me feeling all kinds of things that I did not expect to feel. I have went through a range of emotions during this last eight weeks. Many of which are centered around my abandonment issues and feeling like I dont matter to anyone. They say the emotional roller coaster is normal with surgery and recovery but I am not quite convinced of that. I just think it is my own "F'ed up issues.

Over this time it has given me alot of time to think... I mean really ... you can only read so many books and nap so many times ... so yeah my head has been going like a hundred miles an hour sometimes. Alot of it was thinking about where I am in my life right now and where I want to be. Some of my feelings brought up past shit and memories... like last week out of the friggin blue I thought about my birth mother and how when I was about twelve or thirteen that I decided to ask her to come to a school play. She came but me asking her turned out to be a huge mistake. She spent the entire time scouting the seats around us for good looking men and at intermission we ran into one of my teachers who happened to be a man and married. She practically humped his leg while his wife glared on and I stood there in shock! She remembered going to school with him when she was a little girl and she threw out all the stops to flirt with him and touch him like they were the best of friends. He took it all in stride but I was thoroughly humiliated and wanted to slink away... far away from her because of her actions. Of course with her that was a normal occurance whenever she was around any male species. Like a friggin dog in heat... and she wonders why I never wanted to be around her... DUH! So just crap like that has been passing through this ole mind of mine.

Anyway... here I am taking trips down memory lane and not having a good time at all. It brought up how I felt abandoned by her and so many others. I have to admit that I was a bit saddened that none of my friends came to see me or called. That hurt my feelings alot. Makes those old messages come back that nobody really cares.... Of course I know that is not true... but it has been hard sometimes turning my head off and trying to convince myself of that. Just me continuing on my journey I suppose... but I dont have to like it one bit.

So here we are and the eight weeks is up. I am still not driving. Lovie took me to the park and I tried over the weekend and I am just not there quite yet. Still too much pressure on the knee to push on the gas and brake pedals. But soon I know it will come. Most likely I will return to work for the half days starting this Friday. At least that is when my disability date ends... In some ways I am so ready... I just want to be around people again. Not that Lovie isnt people but I have felt quite isolated too here in my house with just us. Plus we have gotten on each others nerves too... She is a real trooper for putting up with me- I grant her that. Trust me... it hasnt been all cake and ice cream!-- I can be a real pain in the ass sometimes you know and bless her loving heart and soul that she loves me like she does. I wouldda kicked my ass out on them grumpy and grumbly days I had. Oh well that's real love I guess huh?

So here I sit at this ole box just wishing I had another eight weeks but this time to have fun and do the things I really did want to do. As far as my book goes... I guess it just isnt the right time for me to write about it. Or maybe I have more healing to do before I can actually finish the book.. That is more likely the case I do believe.

Well peeps I guess that is about all I can say for now... yeah I know some of you dont think this is drival but even if it is.. it's my drival and I guess I am gonna share it with ya anyway.

Have a great one peeps-

Love,

This is a Test for Smart People ... I have determined that you qualify.

The following short quiz consists of 4 questions and will tell you whether you are qualified to be a professional. Scroll down for each answer. The questions are NOT that difficult. But don't scroll down UNTIL you have answered the question!








1. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?

The correct answer is: Open the refrigerator, put in the giraffe, and close the door. This question tests whether you tend to do simple things in an overly complicated way.

2. How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?

Did you say, Open the refrigerator, put in the elephant, and close the refrigerator?

Wrong answer.

Correct answer: Open the refrigerator, take out the giraffe, put in the elephant and close the door. This tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your previous actions.

3. The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend .. except one. Which animal does not attend?

Correct Answer: The Elephant.

The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory.

Okay, even if you did not answer the first three questions correctly, you still have one more chance to show your true abilities.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocod iles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you not been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.

Send this out to frustrate all of your smart friends.

PS . Just the fact that I sent it to you should make you all feel good
