All in a day's work

Well the day started off well, the alarm went off and though I had woken up in the middle of the night I felt refreshed! I was actually feeling good. I go downstairs to make my tea and feed my kittens, I turn on the light and it doesn't turn on... I hate the lights in the house, you have to hit the glass for them to turn on! I don't know if it's the fixture or the lightbulbs or just me since it doesn't seem to happen to Eric. Well I tap the light and nothing so I go to turn on the sink light... it turns on and I pick up the kittens dish so I can get thier breakfast going and I stumble into the butcher block sink cover... down it goes to the floor (it was propped up against the cabinets) and it went right onto my foot! I scream, fall to the ground and clutch my foot for dear life. The pain is intense and it's shooting right threw my body like I got hit by a dump truck going 90. My poor kittens actually come to me to make sure I'm okay, or maybe they were just wondering why I wasn't washing out thier food dish... I guess that is one of life's mysteries. Well by the time I got back up to bed to wake Eric up I had a nice quater size black and blue on my foot... just under my ring and pinkie toes, nice uhh? Oh and just so you know... it's now about the size of well it looks like Florida without the bottom... lol I just touched my toes... they don't hurt all that much, maybe it's the motrin talking but maybe I broke some peda-carpels? Is that what they are even called? I'm the worst nursing school student, of course I learned all the bones like 10 years ago and haven't had to use them in over 8 years... if your hand is metacarpel, is the foot pedacarpels? umm well a trip to www.webmd.com has informed me that they are my metatarsals... hey I was close... where did I get carpel from when it's tarsals... is the hand also called tarsals? umm maybe. So after also stop blogging and reading the article I wonder if I should get this x-rayed... it is not my toes and it says that when breaking the metatarsals you have broken your foot... shoot, so I broke my foot? I do NOT want to go to the ER I haven't even finished paying for the last time! I have having a $500 deductible for the ER! so not fair!

On another note... Eric is going through his training classes at work... he's getting laid-off as of July 7th 2006, they are putting everyone through classes to prepare them for the job search and other things... well it's starting to hit him, I knew it was just a matter of time... I hate seeing him stress out, we have time and I have no doubt that he will find a wonderful job that he will truely love and be great in. But he's starting to let it sink in, he's loosing his job... his routine, his daily life... all that has gotten familar and comfortable in the last 4 years is going to be no more... the girls at Dunkin Donuts, Jay the coffee guy... the people he works with will turn into a distant memory of jobs he's had over his life. This is time for a new adventure, a new begining, a new start... for me it's exciting and I hope that Eric can also see it that way... hopefully in time, maybe when he starts looking for a job next month. He sent me a copy of his resume, work in progress, and I just smile... he's too cute! We need to find his old ones and add a few things that leave the brain from time to time about old jobs and accomplishments he has received.

I also created a digital scrapbook page today... I just felt a little creative so I opened up Adobe and got let my creative side go to work... let me know what you think... here you go
