Knee Swelling

So maybe running was a bad idea???

So today I went to the docotr and got my knee drained and more x-rays. He basically said to keep getting it drained until I will need a knee replacement. He suggested a knee brace that is specially made for me that will push my thigh and calf outward to relieve the pressure the bones are putting on each other since I don't have cartilage and its caused osteoarthritis and grade 4 condromalcia. I went and got measured for the brace (that id have to wear daily) and just got a call that because I havent met my deductible yet of 400 plus the cost i'd pay $550 WITH insurance! CRAZY! So It might be a little longer before I get it...

Guess no more running for me :(

Although It has sowllen 4 times in the past two months. Thats every other week. Takes a week to swell then goes down then swells again. I called in to work and am at home with it propped up on ice. Don't think my boss was too happy but oh well.

Also on the job front I havent gotten any more interviews or call backs, but I did apply to two new jobs through mother frances. One is in the Human Resources Department as an assistant recruiter and the other is an office assistant at the orthopaedic clinic. Yes the one I keep going back to. I hope something works out because I am in need of a change in jobs. I think everyone is tired of hearing me bitch about it everyday when i get off. I want to be a happy person and not fake. So I Need a new JOB! Hopefully there will be a new post soon about a interview :)

Today

Today I decided I wanted to start running again. Being in the 100's already this summer has made me feel like a big blob so this morning I went out for a run! Considering I haven't ran in forever I decided to start easy. A 5 minute warm-up, 10 minute run (pretty much a mile for me), then a 5 minute cool down, then stretching. I was worn out after these 20 minutes! Man am I out of shape! (Notice the red face!)

Recent Stuff Mom and I made

I just decided I better start keeping track of everything we are making!

These are for my Aunt Sue's Family that is due soon!

(I think on the dotted one we are going to ad one more yellow dot to the right middle. And we have one more bib to make too.)

My 26th Birthday

So this birthday just like last year we last minute decided to go enjoy a day at Hurricane Harbor! Brandon, Mom and I went and had a Blast! We all got a little too sunburnt, afterward I went shopping a little before heading back to Tyler. Once I got back Will took me to a delicous dinner at Bernards. I was so pooped out at that point I forgot to get pictures of us together :(

"Just Because" Flowers

Last week I got some "just because" flowers from Will. They are gorgeous and I love suprises like this when I have had a long day or week.

Another Interview

Today I had an interview at Mansions at the Cascades for a leasing agent for the apartments and town homes.

http://www.mansionsatthecascades.com

If you go to this website and click on 360 view the first ones are town homes and if you scroll to the bottom are the apartments.

I must say they are amazing luxury apartments. Crown molding, marble counters, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, etc.

The lady I interviewed with said I was only her second interview and she had appointments through all next week. Then they would pick a few for a second interview then there regional manager would come down for the last interviews. So I am one down. I hope they call me back although I am terrible at interviews. I get extremely anxious and nervous and my heart pounds so hard and I start sweating. It's bad.

She also said they take there employees on a trip once a year. Last year they went to SPAIN! Yes SPAIN! And this year they are going on a 7 day cruise to Mexico. Next year if I am lucky enough to get the job we would go to ........................

PARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even imagine. But I really want the job for the job. I think it'll be a new experience to not have a desk job. Please say a prayer for me and that if I do get called back for another interview that I can relax breath and speak clearly. Wish me luck!
