Lately things have been going pretty good. My knee is looking like a knee again. I still have tape on where they cut my knee up (slice and dice) I'm bending it a little more everyday, but trust me I am super stiff in the morning. Backstory- about a year ago or so my joints in my knees and hips started to feel tight in the morning when I would wake up. Not a big deal, but add a messed up knee to the equation and you might notice it a little more. Physical therapy is going alright, I wish I was doing better meaning NOT on crutches but I can't help that. Hopefully by next week I'll be able to put weight on my foot. Sigh. I'm looking forward to that. I've been out in the sun a few times and I have started to develop knee-brace tan lines. It's been years since there was a summer where I wasn't tan from being outside everyday so it's hard for me to look at the pastey legs.... let me put it this way- I'm so pale I look even more like my sister Christina! (She's really white. Like white white. I say it with love so it's okay)
Aside from the whole knee situation, things are moving along. I'm going to begin my quest for a degree in education later this summer, and by the end of the program I will have my masters. I know, this means my dream of giving my very unprofessional unsolisited opinion about sports for money may never be. But, that's okay because I'll be really good working with kids with special needs as a career:) I'm excited because it's something I can do anywhere. I'm not saying that I'm moving (no angry phone calls please) but if something happened where me moving was needed, I could. I just hope that the place has a hockey team. That's one of the reasons why Seattle isn't a place for me to live. I need hockey extremely close. Really there's no point to worry about it, because I'm where I want to be and that's what matters. (See what a couple of weeks with your thoughts and ice packs on your knee can do for you?)
I'm excited about all of this, and even more ready to finish up school. Finally! I'm sure I'll change my mind about a million more times, but for right now, this is what I want to do and so here we go.
Guess where I get to go?! The Blink 182 concert! That's right my friend Jamie and I are going to see them at the end of the summer. It's going to be UHmazing. Depeche Mode is on tour this summer, but I'm not sure if I'll see them. I was so close to seeing them in 2005 but it didn't work out. That was when I was living in L.A. I ended up coming home for a family emergency... Anyways, I thought that would have been the last album Depeche Mode would put out, but luckily I was WRONG. (haha get it? Like the song "Wrong" haha) I love summertime in the Bay Area. So many conerts and baseball games. I'm trying to get to the point where I can walk without crutches soon SOON because there a few Giants games I want to go to and I need to be able to walk to my seat... I like first base line:) Just a few more days. I hope.
All of this down time I've been having has let me make new mixes. It's great because I've found some new voices (new to me) and I've got them all in their mix sitations with other great sounds. Ser-i-silly I crack up when my sister Christina calls me and says, "I've got a band for you!" and then I have to tell her that I already have them on my iTunes. It's weird, she lives in L.A. she should be the music freak. Yeesh. *wink
Okay, so I'm ashamed of something and I have to be able to talk about it somewhere... I have been watching this show on Bravo and I hate myself for enjoying it. NYC Prep. Seriously? What is wrong with me? There are plenty of baseball games, and nature documentaries on Animal Planet- I don't have any reason to be watching this show. But I am. And I look forward to it. Today is Tuesday, and I know it will be on a thousand times in a row. In my head I calculated what time the game would be done and what time NYC Prep would be on and also this thing on Animal Planet I want to watch. It's sick. I'm ashamed. But I can't stop. It's like that Daisy of Love crap... I know it's wrong but I can't help myself. Ughl.
If I was smart I would just watch Boondock Saints and forget about the shows on Bravo.
Pieces,
Kath
