Peppermint Lovin'

Yeah, a lot has been going on, and I haven't posted in a while. I know how disappointed all of you are.

Shit #1:
I was on my way to school on a Monday morning a few weeks ago, and my brake line just happened to bust while driving. My brakes went out on my, and I tried to stop, and when I didn't slow very much, of course your first instinct is to push harder on the brakes...welp, I went sliding like I was hydroplaning. Luckily, no one was in front of me, and it was at a stop light. That was right beside of the colliseum, so I went ahead and continued to drive in there to park, utilizing my emergency brake, of course. So, then I called Russell who told me to look under my car, and what do I see? A shit load of fluid leaking out of my rear left tire. So, we both decided that it was better for me to brave driving back toward meineke (once again using emergency brake and going 45mph on the interstate and 25mph down that nasty hill...on the curb so people didn't ram up my ass) because the longer I waited, the less brake fluid I would have, and we really didn't feel like paying for a tow truck...whew, long ass sentence. It was scary as hell!! So, Russell left work to come to Meineke to get me. It's fixed now...thank goodness.

Shit #2:
Russell and I both went to work at 2:00pm on Monday, and around 2:50pm, Russell ripped the hell out of his shoulder. He was doing a team-lift with another stockman, and the customer helped as well. ~Keep in mind that this is a 160lb. entertainment center.~ Well, anyway, the customer dropped his end for some unknown reason, and then e.c. started to fall. So, Russell, using instinct only, grabs with his left arm to catch it. Enough said. He was hurting so bad, and he couldn't even breathe very well, so he went and filled out and accident report, and I clocked out and took him to Med-Express. I like that place. We were going to pay the $115 fee to see the doctor, but since it was a work related injury, they made him fill out a workman's comp form. Oh, well. The doctor gave Russell an excuse off work in order to heal his strained rotary cuff and pec muscles, and prescriptions for Tylenol 3 and Flexril (some kind of muscle relaxant). I brought him home, made him some dinner, doped him up, put some ice on his shoulder, and went back to work. He's off for a whole week, and I hope he's healed good by tomorrow because I don't want him reinjuring himself which happens pretty damn easy with strained muscles. NO LIFTING STUFF FOR YOU, MR. YOUNG!!

In other non-shit news, I got a 39/40 on my psyc 241 exam...not too shabby, and I just took my plant pathology exam, which I think went pretty well. I'll update you on that later when I get my test back.

Russell and I have been playing a lot of world of warcraft lately and having a blast I might add. It helps for one of us to have a whole week off work, and another one to have 4 days off in a row. I was also going to clean really well on those 4 days off, but did that happen? Umm...no.

Tonight is Andrea's birthday party, so I gotta go to get some chips and dip. Should be tons-o-fun. We're going to take our brand-spanking new camera and take lots of incriminating photos to share with all...lol.
