I&#8217;ve always had a shitty ankle. Just what I get for walking like this for so long, I guess. But it is just disheartening when it gets like this and I can barely even walk. It&#8217;s really more a limping shamble. CJ and I went out and bought a new ankle brace for me last night, and man, my ankle already feels better wearing it, but that&#8217;s just really lame. Like, we were trying to find the ankle braces in the store? And I saw a display of canes. I jokingly grabbed one and used it. But it really helped and my ankle felt better and then I kind of despaired for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know. I feel like I should be working as hard as I can this summer, and trying to keep money flowing in. I shouldn&#8217;t really be resting and playing video games and doing nothing. At the same time, fuck, I&#8217;ll take working all day at grading and teaching than all day at Kohl&#8217;s any fucking day of the week. It&#8217;s so goddamn boring, and being on my feet on that tile all day makes my ankle hurt something fierce after several consecutive shifts so that I can&#8217;t even enjoy my time off, because I&#8217;m limping all day so much I can&#8217;t even really get out of the house.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, when it&#8217;s at the point where my boyfriend and mother and everyone is constantly telling me I shouldn&#8217;t do this to myself, maybe I should listen. I&#8217;m really debating picking up this many shifts in a row again. I&#8217;m really debating if a positive cash flow is worth feeling shitty like this when I could probably get by with less until the end of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, I work with ladies more than twice my age that do these sort of millions of double shifts in a row literally every week somehow. Fuck if I know how, but they do. That makes me feel like a stupid wuss for backing off, especially when the money could be very useful.<\/p>\n<p>Eh, I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello.
