Knee Update

So about 2 weeks ago I knelt down at work and my knee popped PAINFULLY.  Well the popping is not so abnormal for me but that amount of pain was.  The bad side was the pain lingered well into the next week.  I decided to head into to the Doctor to finds out what was going on.  Well, he put me in brace and some medicine to reduce the swelling.  I was also told to stay off and limit my activity level.  Yep...that is what I was told.  After 3 days I was in tears, so much pain all over my leg.  I called the Doctor back since the nurse (who gave me the directions) told me not to take any other pain reliever.  Yes, no pain reliever and no  yoga...AGONY!  The Doctor over the phone cleared me to take my Alieve!  I decided to go back to a small amount of yoga and back to walking on my 15s.  That meant far less pain over the last few days.


Yesterday was my follow up.  The Doctor felt my knee again (YES a Doctor actually touched my knee) and could still feel the popping and grinding.  It appears that I popped the protective fluid bubble in my knee.  That will take ages to heal if ever.  I also have Runner's Knee, no it is not from my running and I can have PT to correct it but I have been cleared to walk as much as I like again.  I am not sure when that is to start but I am already trying to research stretches that will be beneficial to my recovery.  Which includes some of my favorite yoga poses chair, down dog, up dog and low lunge.  :) Guess what I am going to be doing every morning from here on out.


I just thought the Bunny Yoga was too cute and this has most of my needed poses in it!

Why I love Ted.

No I have not thrown over my maddening cutie.  I am talking about TED Talks.  I love them.  They inspire me.  They are just great.  So I feel need to share them periodically.  Since I work for zoo, they tend to be environmental or conservation themed.

Never get too excited

Well, I thought I might have had a good interview about 2 weeks ago.  I even had an email saying they would contact me on Monday to schedule the next step.  That was over a week ago.  There goes another chink in my armor.  If you are not interested in someone to tell them Friday that you will call Monday and then just never say another thing.  I cannot email you a reminder without looking too desperate.  Even if the truth is I am, in fact, that desperate.


So it is back to square one.  Find another job to apply for and another job to be rejected from.  I am being pickier with what I am looking for.  I want to find something that is useful with my degree.  Not a job that simpleton out of high school can accomplish.  I have worked hard and want to use that hard work to do something, anything.  I know this sounds whiney.  I see so many of my friends that have "adult" jobs and then there is me who cannot even get decent interviews.  The whole situation makes me want to go screaming into the woods and hide until the end comes.  But I cannot do that, so I will keep putting myself through this hell and will most likely end up settling with a crap-tastic job that I will resent.
