Still at home. Knees still swollen (and also purple) but it's definitely going down, so as far as I can tell everything is ok just a complete pain in my ass.

But... since I've missed like four days of work now, and am going to miss more, now I have to have a doctor's note before I can come back to work. I talked to my GM last night and that's what she said: don't worry about my job, don't worry about calling out, if I can't work, I can't work, but since I've missed more than three days, I need a note saying I am ok to come BACK to work. Not a note excusing me for the days I've missed - I am excused already. I need a note saying it's ok to come back.

So... I have to go to the doctor, I guess. Of course, I can't get a doctor's appointment for another like five weeks (I've already made one) so that won't do... I'm thinking to try the clinic around here or, if that isn't possible (because I have health insurance now, so maybe they won't see me...) I guess my other choice is the ER. Which sucks, and I know you're not supposed to use the ER that way, but... I can't be out of work for five weeks just because it takes that long to get a doctor's appointment. I don't really make enough money as it is - of course my hours got cut after summer ended and besides that, my actual pay is less too because we're not as busy. It sucks.

( So not fun + media overload )

And... I may not have failed at NaNoWriMo by writing a story that's too short. I think maybe I can write a few shorter stories, and have them all tie together or something. I've already started another one - this one has time travel. I told you I was a sucker for that :P

This has all been very nice, all the reading and writing and TV-watching, but I'm ready to actually leave the house now plz!
