A Canadian in America...

Ouchies!

Okay....so like yeah, and stuff. I started my adventure of accounts payable on Friday. It should be VERY interesting, due to the fact that nobody knows how to do the job (except the person that was let go) and I get to figure it out all by myself:) But let it be known, I WILL figure it out:)
So Friday....I got to work about 9:00, read a little bit about accounts payable and how to do it in our computer program, learned to enter some invoices, wrote some checks (thereby figuring out how to make a note of the checks written in the computer) and decided to go for lunch at about 12:30 or so. I decided to walk....that was the first mistake of the day. I was walking through a "path" between two buildings, and coming out of said path, I turned the corner and WHAM, there I fell to the ground. The light was red, people were staring, but I didn't really care and wasn't all that embarassed due to the fact that I had heard something snap/pop and I was in intense pain. I was too concerned about my well-being to be worried about other people laughing at my demise. I sat there for a few seconds, decided that nothing was broken and got up. I could barely stand for a couple minutes. I leaned up against the wall, and decided to tough it out and try to walk. I could walk, so I attempted to continue to my destination. I got about 10 feet and decided that that was a bad idea and headed back to work. I got into work again, checked myself over and went to my car. I was in a lot of pain. My knee and my ankle were extremely sore. I had done a number on myself.
Anyhow, so I survived, all the while limping and cursing. I went back to work, finished what I could and then went home. Got ready for my concert, and then for the next 6 hours, spent a LOT of time sitting. NOT a good idea. By the time I got home from the concert, I could barely walk from my car to my apartment due to the fact that I had been sitting for so long and my knee/ankle stiffened up. OUCH! So I iced them, elevated them, and continued to do so on and off at work on Saturday. By sunday I was in pretty good shape, I guess. But it still hurt so Monday I decided to go and see the doctor. He said it was just a strain. I've been limping, and now my calves and my other leg have begun to ache and hurt due to compensating for the injuries.

So that's my story.

In other news, I made Eric do the laundry on Sunday due to my lack of confidence on making it up and down the stairs with heavy loads of laundry.

It's Eric's birthday on Thursday. I have NO IDEA what to get him. HOW SAD!!!
