My aching head, still

So I still have pain from my fall the other day. The bump on my head is nearly gone but it still hurts and is tender to the touch; my chin is also tender but the worse today is my jaw joint by my ear. The only good thing about this is that I went to the ER and they said the cat-scans didn't show any fractures or problems from my neck up. The bad thing is that three of my fingers are still numb and I don't know why? What really sucks is that my health insurance at work doesn't start for another week (or two, I'm not sure). I have to wait two weeks to go see my doctor. In the meantime I have to figure out how I'm going to take care of the ER bills when they start coming. ::yikes::

Why do I have to be in pain and risk permanent injury... oh yes, because we don't have adecquate health care in this country ::humm:: Thank you Mr. Bush for spending my money in all the right places. ::@$^*#@$%^&*#@&&^%@::

My aching head

So I fainted at work yesterday... yes, out cold. Apparently I fell on my face because I got a half dollar size bump on my forehead, bruised the bridge of my nose, my lips, and my chin. I am a mess. That doesn't mean that my face is all black and blue (thank God), but I am in pain and got a couple of small scratches here and there. And ofcourse I refused to go to the Emergency Room, but now I regret it. Everything above my shoulders hurts today. Even the joints of my jaw.

Now I'll have to spend the day at my doctor's tomorrow getting checked and tested. ::yuck::

Independance

Today we celebrate Colombia's Independance Day. I miss my home, but I don't think I could live there again. I guess what I really miss is my family, my city as I remember it in my childhood, my school- which I still have dreams about. I dream walking through the parks and hallways, and in my classrooms with my friends. If one day I go back home I will go visit my school; it would be an emotional visit but one that I dream of.

I'm listening to...

I just love this CD. Makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. I miss my country, but I'm glad I don't have to be there and live with all that struggle and hardship.

The first time I heard the song "A Dios Le Pido" I fell in love with his music. And I can't get enough of "Suenos". I just wish we didn't have to dream of peace.

Nice night out

Thanks Anna for taking me out tonight. We tried Friday's on 5th and 48th but their A/C was down.... what a dissappointment. So we decided on Tequila in Astoria, good call. I hadn't finished my first margarita and I was flying. Talk about a light-weight. I only had two drinks, but am happy as could be. The only bad thing is that I have to be at work at 8am for inventory. *sucks*

I love my orchids 

One day off is not enough

I'm so incredibly tired today that I didn't do much. I looked in craigslist for apartments this morning, if Joseph comes over tonight we can look through them and start making some appointments.
I'm not too happy about moving to Brooklyn, but at least it will only be for one year. I'm a little concerned about the commute. Living in Astoria and getting to work in 30 minutes has been great, and I just hope we find an apartment where I'll have a similar situation.

Back from hiatus

Wow, after a year I'm back and happy to be blogging again. I don't have much free time, but I'll try to post as often as I can... we'll see how it goes.
