Day 14 (1st Grade)

I had to work today...and I had to wake up at 3:45!!! I was okayed to come in extra early to get ready for all the extra mail coming off of the holiday. So I got up and ready and arrived at work at 5:30. I got to work immediately after arriving...I had a lot of catalogs left from Saturday that I didn't have the time to prep...so I had to do all those catalogs and then tackle the huge amount of catalogs and magazines I arrived to find when I got to work. So after tackling the ginormous amount of mail I left the office to deliver at 12:30. So already behind, but doing a good job dealing with all the mail tragedy struck!!! While delivering a package to a house almost at the middle of the route I stepped on a weird part on the sidewalk and severly sprained my ankle and fell to the ground. I was able to get up and deliver the package and I forced myself to keep working (I didn't realize that I needed to call work immediately so that they could come out and document the event). So I ended up calling in to see if another sub could fill in for me for Wednesday and Thursday and then the supervisors flipped out!!! So I ended up having to bring all my mail back to the office for another sub to finish delivering. Then I had to head to the doctor to get treated and the incident started being documented. So after treatment I found out that I had a bad sprain and lots of swelling. The doctor wrapped up my ankle with an ace wrap and air cast. They also provided me with crutches. So after I hobbled myself all the way back to the car I still had to drive home with my injured foot and then hobble all the way up and into our house. I'm glad that at least Beto's day taking care of the boys and getting Roberto to and from school was better than how mine turned out.
