la_belle_laideIt's the end of an era. :( The closing of Seattle's Crocodile Cafe, where I spent many a night, had many an adventure (some not so good,) and ate many a meals during the day. Goodbye, Croc. I loved ya.
So here's how yesterday went. I went to the orthopedist and got my leg poked and prodded by an assistant (who was cute.) I barely saw the doctor at all. As it happens, I can't schedule the MRI until they get authorization from my insurance company. >_> That could take a few weeks and he told me not to go back to any "activities" before then. EFF THAT HARD. I'm going back to Kung Fu, because I'm wasting away here. And I'll continue to work too, because I feel fine.
Oh, they re-did the x rays, remember that thing about them finding that "spot" on the x ray? So they re-did them and found that it was a mistake on the film. ^_^ So that's pretty cool. That's what I thought it was, but it was nice of them to re-do them anyway and let me know.
That's the story!
Here is why I'm a beast. I've decided to leave the sanctuary and take more hours at the hospital. lots of reasons why. I know, I know, how much in love with the sanctuary I was. It such a beautiful place and I'm so sorry to leave it. It's so hard for me to tell Bosslady. I semi hinted about it, and planted the seed in her head that I might not be coming back. She left me a long message about how sorry she was that things had been going badly, that I lost my dog, that I injured myself. That she hoped I would come back someday or at least visit sometimes. Then she left me a detailed message about alternate treatments for cartilage problems. There just isn't anyone sweeter or kinder than this lady and I feel awful leaving. It's so hard for me to say. And I love the animals there, that's going to be very hard for me.
I just need the extra hours at the hospital, and all the kneeling and crawling around on the floor at the sanctuary wasn't helping, either. I just feel really bad about it.
That aside, I got most of my holiday giftie shopping done. MOST. There are still one or two crucial gifts I need to get. Shopping has felt so soul-sucking this year. And I've fallen way behind this month. Ahh, this month has sucked, let's not deny. But here's to it getting better, huh? For sure. ^_^
