Life Hands you Lemons, Make Lemonade!

Have you ever found yourself in a difficult predicament and felt helpless? Ever thought something was going well and then the shit hits the fan? I fell a few weeks ago and pulled my tendon in my right ring finger. It swelled up as big as a balloon (exaggerating of course) and I couldn't bend it. A week later that was nothing compared to the hot 80 degree heat and sun beaming directly onto my skin. Now, I'm not ghost white but still a little sun HURTS!! I thought that after that my week would get better. I didn't see how it could possibly get any worse before it got better. I was wrong, completely wrong and clueless as to what would come next. This past Saturday I had to mow my grandmothers yard because if my family doesn't do it then it won't get done. So there we are my mother, my sister, and me slaving over thick clovers and weedy flower beds. My sister took the easy job of ridding the zero turn radius mower that does a 360 like it's nothing. My mother took the weed eater and left me push mowing. Thank goodness I have some arm muscles. Right off the bat I ran over a tree limb and gashed the front of my leg. OUCH! It didn't bleed but it left a nice dent in my leg. Still i thought my week would get better, but somehow it never got any better. I now have a horrible head cold and sinus infection and can't get in to get any medications for it until after the last day of finals....UGH!!! Life happens whether you want it to or not....get used to it.
