Flood of Manheim...

::EDIT::I was at my friends house in Manheim today and it started to pore hard and I had to pick up another kid at Weis around 8pm today(Sunday) and we had to cross the road to get to my car, I was wearing Old Navy flip-flops too. The water was flowing so fast that my flip-flop got swept away. I was at the red light and I saw them. They were stuck at the drains, one on either side, so I get this great idea, run across the street and look like a fool to get my flip-flops and by-golly I got them!!! I was so happy and soak and wet, but in the end I was excited to have them back. After I got back in my car I cranked the heat up, everyone else was getting hot but my pants were dripping water! So my friends and I decided to go running through puddles in Manheim tonight after a huge down pore. It was the best thing that I’ve done in my life, ok not really, but I had a great time.

I'm typing on my laptop right now. My cousin from NC dropped it off on Wednesday. He upgraded it from ME to XP. I got these awesome Nintendo games for free that he put on, plus Super Nintendo games!! So old school. lol

So I have 6 days till my surgery on my hand that means I have to learn how to do pretty much everything with my left hand, kind of stinks though. I guess I'll see how much I take for granted with being able to use both hands!! Now I'll have all the time in the world to read, read and read. Maybe I'll do some updates while in Cali, it might take me the entire time while we're out there to make just one post, lol but I think I'll manage.

So this s how my 6-8 weeks are going to look like:
June 29: surgery
June 30: rest and pack
July 1: pack some more
July 2: make sure i have everything for Cali
July 3-13: I’ll be in Cali
July 14: get my stitches out in the morning
July 15-20: relax
July 21-24: beach at Ocean City MD
July 25: relax
July 26-August? Therapy

I'm not sure when I'm going back to work yet, I know its going to be in August.

Before I leave for Cali my supervisor wants me to call him to see how my surgery went so I have to do that. I know for sure that I'm going to be on pain killers because my one supervisor went through the same surgery so he knows what I'm going. I'm so nervous though, but I'll be awake for the surgery.

So I've been reading Psalms and there were a few verses that struck me:
Psalm 6:2-3, "Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. I am sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until you restore me?"
----I liked those to verses because I am weak; it takes time to become strong at heart. It’s not how long until you restore me, but how long am I going to keep running from Him. I've been kind of running from Him the last few weeks and realized it too.

Psalm 6:7, "My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of my enemies."
----this one reminds me of the things that I’ve done in the last few weeks, I totally wish that I never did it but everyone else was doing it, but I know I didn't have too but it was all peer pressure from my friends and I regret it!!

Surgery :(

Its offical....i have to have surgery on my hand. I'm not to happy about that because i feel like I'm leaving work on purpose, but my supervisor said not to worry about it because they have 2 other people coming back. He could tell that i was upset because of the tone in my voice. Yea its only 10 minutes or so surgery but i'll probably be off work for atleast 5 weeks. Thats the part thats gonna kill me, i can't sit around and do nothing at home, i need to be doing something.

I love Miriam Fisher!! I saw her today at LOG because her mom works there and so does she, well her mom comes out and is like "do you want me to get Miriam?" i told her no not really but she got her anyways!! lol the nurses at the desk were very nice and the one was laughing at Miriam, her mom and me. it was a great time at LOG, except hearing i need surgery, but the doctor is awesome!!

I also got my hair cut this morning but it was way too early for me. i was sitting in the chair at my step-mom's and as she was cutting my hair i would close my eyes. lol i was so tired this morning and couldn't get out of bed, but i managed.

thats about it for a while.

three peas in a pod...

A few things are going on right now, so here they are....

--Went to the doctors yesterday (Tuesday) and found out that I might have surgery on my hand/wrist or I might got a shot of cortisone in my hand/wrist, but I can't have it done repeatedly because eventually it will damage my tendons in my hand. So they might go ahead and do the surgery to get it done with because they don't know where the pain in my hand will be in the next 6 months. Kinda nervous about going on Monday but hey I get out of working at 3pm on Monday. There's a good chance that I also could be off work for about 6 weeks if I do have surgery. I'm gonna be really bored for them 6 weeks.

--I shipped my laptop to my cousin who lives in Winston Salem, NC so he can update it and fix it up so that I can have it for California in July. I'm excited!!

--Yesterday I got to shell peas for my grandma since I wasn't home since Thursday because I was watching the crazy Sammy Sam and Rocky!! It took me an hour or two to shell them. I was excited when my grandma said that I wasn't allowed to make plans last night until I got all the peas shelled.

--On Sunday I went with Andrew and Heidi b., Jon s., Paul m., and rachelle h., to see how Andy eldeen's dads church does the VBS because they are doing the same theme we are. It was a long 1 hour or so drive to Hanover, that's where it was, so we had to drive around the circle(roundabout) and Andrew's didn't know which way to go so he kept going around it, we had to of gone around it like 5 times!! That was the best part before we got to the church. There were 3 students in the 5-6th grade class at the church and I got to oversee it and those three were characters. I'll have more students in my class when I get to CA. But during our music time Andy had the 3 students pick a "bodyguard" just incase someone wanted to hit 'em, lol, so there was one girl and 2 guys and the one girl, Whitney, picked me without hesitation!! Andy later emailed us and said that the students were asking "where are the bodyguards?" on Monday night. That's when you know the students enjoyed being around you. I had a great time there.



**I was going to post some pictures but my links weren't working, kinda dissappointed!!**

Movie and such

I'm here using high speed internet which I'm not used too. its so exciting anyways, last night a few of us from Liquid, maybe like 5 of us showed up the see The DaVinci Code. For a person that has never read the book, I thought it was very well played out. It was 3hrs and 35minutes long or something, but it was very good. I suggest seeing it. Now I have to find the book and read it. Adam and I sat at the church for 15minutes to see if anyone showed up but no one did. So we proceeded to leave.

Rocky has changed so much since I last saw him. He's friendlier, he actually came up to me when I walked through the door. Rocky's the best cat ever, lol. He always wants me to rub his stomach and then attack my hand, lol. Right now he's staring at the vents. Crazy cat. He meows at me so much more when I'm talking to him.

Samson, well he hasn't changed,lol he's just a dog. I love SammySam so much. I remember the first time that I watched Rocky and Samson, Samson barked so much when I came in the door, now he doesn't even bark.

Danielle slept over last night and I was debating to bring up the amazing areobed mattress because neither Dan or I would sleep downstairs because of the crazy Rocky. So after some long hard thinking I brought it up. I slept so well on the mattress.

I got my teaching book for the El Centro trip and since I'm not staying at home I figured I could start working on it while I'm here.

I've also had some recurring problems with my hand from work and on Tuesday I have to head to Hummelstown to get it checked out. My supervisor, Paul, told me that they'll probably inject me with cordisone(sp), he also told me that it won't take the pain away and probably come back and then after that they'll have to do surgery. So I'm not quite sure what'll happen yet. Paul tolld me how long the needle is and that they move it around inside of your hand. My reaction like "Great thanks for letting me know that."

Thats about it for right now, nothing crazy has happened!! Everything is going good here.
