aaah damnit!

now i have knee pain! I'm so tired of this! and tonight i was trying to explain that all I could do in a day was 5 things. I am limited to a small number of things i can accomplish which includes: washing dishes, making a phone call, walking, drawing, writing an email, paying bills online, grocery shopping counts as like a whole days worth and so does going to school to meet with a teacher/counselor/staff member etc. and a lady (which i dearly love) just didnt understand it! ugh! and i had a hard time explaining it because my brain is just swirling in circles and i cant keep a straight line of thought! anyways i wish it was all over.
