Things I Have Learned Over The Past Three Months

Things I have learned over the past three months
1. That I have the ability to work really, really hard.
2. That there was no point in doing so because it only benefited the other person in the business.
3. That more than anything else, I want to be outside walking, hiking, running, swimming, camping, canoeing, kayaking, climbing trees, gardening, biking.
4. That I can't do the above for the rest of the summer and I am really depressed because of it.
5. That the most surprising people pull through for you when you need it most.
6. That girl shoes are the stupidest thing ever invented. There is a reason I've always worn combat boots. I will not stray from things I know.
7. That Jude is the most patient human being on the planet. He has been amazing as my nurse, filling in as mom, and listening to me bitch and moan without getting too aggravated. He sucks at driving a wheelchair though.
8. Wheelchairs should not be used on bumpy, grassy hills at top speed.
9. That not all tv really does suck. Reality tv has sucked me in completely. I love Intervention. Watching people more fucked up than me makes me feel awwlright.
10. I miss England. I can't wait to go back.
11. I want to go to school and become an art teacher for little kids. Which is weird because I've always hated school and little kids.
12. I really miss Gail and I'm really proud of her.
13. My kids are pretty fucking sweet.
14. Codeine is a whole lotta fun but I think I was getting a bit addicted (I was rationing out my pills and trying to get my dad to bring some back from England).
15. I hate R and want her to fail miserably. And I know how wrong that is.
16. I would like to be a pirate. I think I would have been an excellent one. I missed my calling. I am considering becoming a pirate in the canoe. I could take over other, smaller canoes and kayaks. I would tip out the owners while yelling "ARRRRRRR". The kids would leap to our new vessel and commandeer it to shore. It would take them a long time because they are awful canoers. It would be fun anyway.
17. I have to stay busy or my mind goes wonky.
18. I love my mom and dad-we've had some tremendous issues but at the base of it, I know you love me.
19. Snuggling at 6 am when it's raining out is lovely. I feel really sorry for people that don't have someone they can do that with. Human touch is so important.
20. We have a lot of steps in our house.
