What I've Learned in the Last Two Weeks
1. Tearing the ligaments in your foot hurts. A lot.
2. X-ray techs ask rather personal questions if you're a female. And if you try to explain that you honestly don't keep track of such things, she acts like you're some freak excuse for a double-x. "You must have an idea," she'll say. "I have absolutely no concept of time," you reply. (Thought: if I ever get pregnant, I'll probably be two or three months along before I even figure out something is awry.)
3. I'm allergic to codeine. I learned this one the very, very hard and painful way, which involves convulsions, an inability to breathe, sharp stomach pain, mild delirium, a terrified boyfriend, and three concurring diagnoses. The rash didn't appear until the next day, but it hung around for a week.
4. Codeine rashes will completely dry out your skin, and you'll find yourself at Super Wal-Mart, forking over four bucks for something called (I kid you not) Zim's Crack Cream. But God, does that stuff work.
5. Someone named James wants me to call him. I know this because he left me his name, number, and the words "CALL ME" on a pizza box last night.
6. I love Joe. Wait, I already knew that. Well, Joe loves me--nope, nope, I was aware of that one, too. Well...he bought me flowers. They were delivered to me in the middle of calculus. Say it with me: awwwwww.
7. God is love=love is God.
