Good News: Scripture and that my knee feels better! I also got a new brace and the x-rays said I didn’t brake anything.
Bad News: I have to lay off it for a while, and that means no karate. That like is a huge monkey wrench in everything I had planned for like a month. Ughhhhh….>:[
I forgot to say that I got a stripe at karate yesterday! Yay! I got it for memorizing the Songham Spirit. But, I broke my toe and had crutches today because it was soo painful. And, I went to the doctor today and he said I had a displaced knee cap and one of two things would have to happen (based on the X-rays which I’m getting Thursday)- I could have to get physical therapy, or my knee could require surgery to get back to normal. How much would that suck? Alot. Anywayy, I’m gonna go easy on it for a while and try not to like wreck it. The doctor also said that my toe was broken and that I basically have to take Tylenol and suck it up. (Which I’ve learned to have to do.)
I won’t be able to post for a while, because I’ll be at Nonni and Opa’s until Saturday because mom and dad will be in Brazil (suerte patos!). Then, on Saturday, Poppi is picking us up and we’re gonna be on Long Island until Tuesday night, then Poppi’s gonna drive us home so we can go to school on Wednesday and Papa’s gonna watch us Tuesday night. phew…alot of moving us around. We’re gonna miss school on Monday and Tuesday, but we have 11 AM dismissal because of Parent/Teacher Conferences. Our parents won’t be there because they’ll be in Brazil, but they’ll reschedule it. I’m also gonna miss school on the Monday and Tuesday after Thanksgiving because me and mi mamasita will be in London! In case you didn’t feel like translating my awesome Spanish post form yesterday, I am soo excited! London is gonna be soo much fun! Here’s our itinerary:
I’m soo excited! BTW: I got a new winter jacket because my old one was purple with little flowers on it, and I looked like I was 5. I’m keeping it though just in case we are shovelling or w/e and I don’t wanna get my new jacket dirty (it’s white). It’s a snowboarding jacket, even though I don’t snowboard, but I ski so w/e same difference. I am soo excited about skiing and ice skating this winter! Last winter we only skated once and didn’t ski AT ALL. Last winter was pretty horrible for us health wise. Mike was soo sick he missed literally like 4 weeks of school, and was just miserable. We were going to hospitalize him if it got any worse. Then, I broke my finger in 3 places, Sam broke his foot, and Mike broke his leg, so each of us had a cast at the same time! Yay! No lie, we would all go to the orthopedist at the same time. Actually, it was kinda funny. =]. W/e, so the point is, I wanna do a lot of skiing and iceskating this winter.
Yesterday during social studies, Emily had this red stuff in her hands in the desk and I said, “What’s that?” She said, “Play dough!” Then everyone found out and everyone wanted to play with it. Who would’ve thought? A bunch of 8th graders fighting over play dough. I made a lady with a really cute baby doll shirt and some seriously wide hippy jeans, with pumps and a cute purse. She had purple hair (dry erase marker =] ). Blair made a whale…it was soo cute! Everyone was playing with play dough all day. As soon as I got home from the gym, I looked in our art closet for some pens and saw a tube of 6 play doughs! I brought them to school today and I had 6 tubs of it, so some of us combined colors and it looks kinda gross now.
After school yesterday, I was waiting in the classroom for the bus wheel to start when I see Sam in my classroom, “Marissa! We’re getting picked up today, remember? Mom’s been waiting for 15 minutes!” Needless to say, I forgot we were getting picked up yesterday…we had flu shots =[. I used to be really good at getting needles put into my body: once when I was 4, they had to stick the needle in me 7 times to draw blood when I had pneumonia (isn’t that a ridiculous word? what idiot thought of a silent “p?”) . But, I’ve gotten worse because I think too much about it. Like I don’t hide under the table like Sam used to (until a year ago lol), but I get a little apprehensive. Mike, on the other hand, has no problem with it. The fact that he has had more shots and needles in him last winter alone then some 30 year olds have had their whole life (poor Mikey =[ ) might have something to do with it. Anyway, I was last to get the flu shot (all 3 of us get it), and as soon as the nurse pulled the needle out, my blood spurted all over the place! It only spurted twice, but it was pretty weird. The nurse said she’d never seen that happen before. She just pulled out the needle and “SQUIRT squirt!” My mom said she probably just hit a capillary or something, but that was weird.
