Hi!

Yup, I sent the email. I kept it pretty short, and replied to the last email that I had sent her (for context). Just told her that I hope things are going well, and I wanted to see if she needed anything else from me. No reply yet...

When I talked to my friend, she was confused. She said that both this woman, and their boss, were eager to hire me after my friend talked to them, and that there were no roadblocks. So, I don't know what's going on. This woman is also pregnant, and going to be heading off to maternity leave pretty soon - so hopefully she's not having any problems with that.

I don't know. I'm honestly nervous about the job, and not 100% sure it would be a great fit. But, it's got to be better than staying where I'm at. So, we'll see what happens. I did mean to start poking around online to see if there's anything interesting, but with the ankle (and the normal stress of trying to wrap my brain around therapy), I haven't yet.

I went to Urgent Care Sunday night. The doc moved my foot around, and (of course) nothing hurt. They did xrays and the doc basically told me he thinks it's just soft tissue damage, and to go ahead and do my walking, do some stretches for it, and yeah, take advil.

Then they called me yesterday to say that the radiologist saw a spot and thought it *could* be a bone chip/fracture (?). But the doc who saw me thought it might just be a calcium deposit, since I didn't have any pain when he examined me. So, they told me to give it a few more days and if it doesn't get better, to see an orthopedist. Ugh. UGH! I just want it to be better.

Walking is much better, and my toes have finally stopped feeling like they might possibly be broken, so I am rejoicing over that. But, there are certain movements that make me yelp with pain still... and I don't know if that's soft tissue, or fracture. We'll see, I guess. I probably need to actually DO the stretches (I did get out and walk!) but I hate it when it hurts! (I am a wimp!)

The upside was... the assistant guy who took my temperature and everything was kind of cute. Of course, I do not know how to flirt at all, and can't judge age, so no clue if he was age-appropriate. But I haven't really dated forever, and it's nice to know that there are still people out there that come across as nice as date-able for me.

I'm glad the network admin stuff is coming back for you! And, that your BF took over the roof-raking duties and that the storm missed you! That's got to be a relief. I think everyone is ready for this winter to be done! You know, I had never heard of anyone having to shovel a roof before (I lived in the south for most of my life, snow is generally an anomaly!) but after you mentioned it, I saw people on CNN (I think) shoveling the roof of a school during the snow coverage they did! Does the snow not just... um... fall off? I guess not? It's funny to think about things like that... that everyone (I assume) in a certain part of the country knows, but that are totally foreign in another part!

Sorry for putting you on the hunt for chocolate! It's sooo good, and sooo bad! I hate that it screws up my sleep. I think it's the "theobromine", apparently it's similar to caffeine, but supposedly "gentler" with a longer half-life. So, by the time it peaks for me, it's like 8 hours later and I can't sleep. It's rotten, but so tasty :-/ !

Halfway through the week!
