Half-Assed NaBloWriMo Day 2

Well my knee is back to hurting more today so tomorrow I'm (probably) going to see a doctor. Thank you for the concern to the 2 commenters yesterday who said I should see a doctor.

As I mentioned yesterday, my snug piercing had been hurting. I decided to take out my barbell for a little bit to see if it would make it feel better. However, I don't like leaving any cartilage piercing out, even for 15 minutes, and I immediately got paranoid and went into the bathroom to put it back in. And wouldn't you know it, I dropped the earring down the sink drain. There is another opening in the drain pipe and it fell down there. Only I would do something this stupid, trust me. The only other curved barbells I had were of a bigger gauge, something I never realized when I bought the barbell I had been wearing up until yesterday. My stomach turned at the idea of trying to put in a bigger gauge when my ear was already in pain but somehow after a bit of blood, I got it in.

Now, if you're not feeling too queasy from that, here's the daily meme.

Day 02 - Where you’d like to be in 10 years.

In short, I have NO idea. I can barely predict what I'm going to be doing in 6 months, let alone 10 years. I just have no clue. I can hazard a guess that I'll probably be living in the USA but will it be Ann Arbor or even Michigan? Your guess is as good as mine.

What I can tell you is how I hope things will be in 10 years. I'll be 34 years old. I hate to sound anything but blindly romantic but I'm hoping Anthony and I are still married. I'm hoping we won't have any kids and I'm hoping we have a cat or some other pet (Anthony wants a pot-bellied pig).

I would like to have a nice car or small SUV. Or hell, maybe hover crafts will be around by 2020! I'd like to perhaps be in a different house, one that we bought together. I would like to have a diploma or a degree or something and I would like to be making good money (wouldn't we all?).

Other than that, I don't really care where I am or what I'm doing. My life has a way of working out opposite to how I think it will so I don't even like to guess where I'll be and what I'll be doing. There is no WAY that 10 years ago I could have ever predicted even one aspect of my current life.

With this, I leave you with a quote from Joseph Campbell: "You must give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you."
