i never ever thought i would be so glad to be back home. it's sooooo nice to finally have someone to help out. great to have my mom's cooking and someone picking up after me for a while. i went to the doctor again today and he said they must have severed an artery in my knee when they did the arthroscopic sugery. he drained the knee again (fun!) and told me to stop doing the muscle building physical therapy until the swelling goes down. he said go ahead let the muscles atrophy, don't worry about it, deal with it later. i guess that's the way it's gotta go. i already feel like i have no quad tho, and i am a bit freaked out about this.
sounds like the photo work is in full swing already down in miami. but even when i get better looks like i might not be going down there after all. there's this big advertising photographer (who does cool fine-art type photos) who hired me for a shoot a few years ago. he took a liking to me and promised to use me again but never did because they usually travel with a full-time person and hire a second assistant locally. so he called me up about 9 months ago and told me his first assistant would be leaving, offered me the job... "when he leaves". he said it would definitely be this year and then it was oh, it looks like he's not leaving now. so i'm like shit, i was all imgagining myself on the beach, etc and now he is offering me the job for real. this job is really good money tho and i am in a helluva lot of debt, plus it is a great learning opportunity. so i'm gonna talk to him about my multiple problems (in as minimal a problematic way as possible) and see what happens. i would be moving to idaho and i guess living in boise. his place is in a town of 2000 people called mountain home. pretty crazy. we would be traveling most of the year tho. i guess it is pretty cool, but i just don't feel psyched about it at all. i guess i just wanna be done with assisting and start making some nice cash on my own (i can make allowances for photoshoots in miami i want for things to go really smooth and right for me for a change and have some fun. well, we shall see. for now it's time to sleep.
