Monday (Late) Night Musings!

Tonight I'm musing about.....

~It is SO nice to be able to take a shower while standing, you have no idea. My foot healed SO much over the weekend. Prayers = finally answered.

~I'm also not dreading my class 1st thing tomorrow morning on the second floor of the only classroom building without an elevator because instead of having to hop up with my crutches and facing a near death experience with every step, I can actually normally-ish walk-ish up them!!! WOOOO

~I got all 4 of the Celestial Seasonings limited edition holiday teas in the mail today. I saw them in someone's Youtube video, but couldn't find them in stores anywhere. So, Amazon it was. Can't wait to test them out for you all! People keep asking me how I like them so I'll probs review them too (; So far I've just tried the Candy Cane Lane (I actually had 2 cups of it today, hehe)

~Tomorrow is my last Spanish class until Thanksgiving break! 2 of them got cancelled for my professor's trip to South Africa/America....I can't remember which. Yay yay YAY!

~Z is the cutest boyfriend in the entire world, and I was so incredibly lucky to be able to spend some time with him this weekend, if only for a few hours. It's so worth the drive, every time. I'll have to post some pictures of our date night in a post tomorrow, eek! I'm so excited! It's not every day that I have new pictures of my fabulous boyfriend to share! I also need to post a Man Crush Monday picture of him soon....only 43 minutes left of Monday remain!

~I'm. Exhausted. All last week I was too, even though I got more sleep than usual (?) Last night random stuff going on in my building (I'm looking at you, jerks who decided to slam their door 6 times in a row at 2 am!!!) kept waking me up, so I got a terrible night's sleep. I wanted to take a nap about three different times today, but as I've said before and will say again, napping in college is near impossible. At least for me. So just a few minutes more of studying for an espanol quiz tomorrow, and I'll be off to my cozy, cozy bed with way too many pillows in it at the moment <3

Thanks for reading! Hope your Monday was fabulous, but if it wasn't....at least it's OVER!

Thursday Thoughts!

I've had such good vibes goin' for the past few hours...this may just be the best Thursday Thoughts ever cause I have some great news!

~I just got out of a class that I thought was going to be super long and boring 25 minutes early, so I'm back with plenty of extra time to blog about the good news I'm brimming at the rim with!

~It's freaking gorgeous and sunny and beautiful outside, and is climbing slowly back up to the 50s for the weekend. HALLELUJAH! I kept doing all of these crutch-themed photos...I could like start an Instagram or Tumblr and call myself Crutch Girl and just have all of these mysterious photos with my crutches peeking out of them. Lol anyways...

~MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL, I GOT THE OKAY TO WALK AROUND IN PLACES OTHER THAN THE PT OFFICE WITHOUT MY AIRCAST/BOOT/BIONIC FOOT ON! I mean I could've taken it off whenever I wanted since it's just velcro, but I was told to bring my matching shoe to my appt today, and I left wearing it too! It hurt a little to bend my foot that way to put it in the shoe, but after that it hasn't bothered me. Their reasoning is that "I'll have more support in my sneaker than in my boot," which makes no sense to me because the boot was MADE for support, and has like a million layers of foam and air cushions in it. But either way, it was a super good day in that department. 

My PT person put it on my backpack because I had no other way to carry it... do you like my new keychain?! I'm actually not too embarrassed of how dorky this looks, I'm more proud of being able to walk without it, and I kinda feel like SuperWoman about the whole thing. It's casual. 

~One of my physical therapists is a reincarnated version of George Lopez, I swear. He looks so much like him, has his voice, AND HIS LAUGH! That's the scariest of all, the laugh. His sense of humor is slightly different though, thank goodness. Today one of the exercises they had me do was to start with my feet shoulder-width apart, then kick with my good foot (while standing on my bum foot, EEK!) and kick "George" in the back of the leg. They kept telling me to aim for his butt, but 1) that was a little...weird...for my taste and 2) I physically don't bend that way yet.

~Class registration went well, I only got locked out of one class, which is pretty good! I mean, this is supposed to only be the second day for freshmen to register, but a lot of freshman classes were practically full already, so there must be a loophole! Anyways, I had picked out a second choice for that class anyways, so on Mondays I'll have a whopping 4 classes (starting at 9am, ugh), but on Tuesdays I'll only have one, and it starts at 11 (so I can sleep in to get rid of the torturous memories of my jam-packed Mondays). Good thing my Monday blogpost is at night, cause I'm gonna be busy! The only thing that bummed me out about this lock out was that Miranda and I were gonna be in the same class together, along with possibly my other friend Emily. Boo :( 

HEADLINE: Crutch Girl sighted with two matching, real shoes on, for the first time in almost a month.

~My registration time was during my PT appt., so I had to stop my gait-stepping to go log on and pick my classes. I did it in exactly 3 minutes, because I was so well-prepared and had all the course numbers, etc., written down (; George Lopez wanted to put me in the torture tub of Arctic death and destruction while I was registering, but I was like uhhh no way, my laptop is smooth as a stone and would probably have slid off my lap and into the whirlpool in .025 seconds had I attempted that. Clearly my coordination is crap....that's how I ended up in PT in the first place, right?

~I'm debating about whether to miss the first hour of a capella practice tonight to go to my third merit point event this week (I'm gonna have amazing housing next year, fingers crossed!)....there's this cool women empowerment thing going on, so of course Miranda and Emily want to go (I'm the one that told them it was going on, so you're welcome ladies). I haven't missed practice in awhile, so I feel like that could be excusable...possibly? What to do, what to do...

~I guess that's all for today. I'm just super excited about wearing matching shoes!!! And also about the fact that I can walk around with only one crutch now- I keep doing that to go to the bathroom, and it's so nice to be able to go to the bathroom without a wheelchair taking up the entire room! I'm shaky and look like an old person when I do it, but progress is progress, and walking was all the wanted all along.(: 

Keep on the lookout for my Thirsty Thursday post later today- I'm reviewing a tea this week! How unusual, I know.

Thanks for reading! What are your Thoughts this Thursday?
