So I've been good at telling pretty much everybody about my ankle thing, but some people still might not know. So here's the truth. I got the MRI. My chiropractor, Neno, got it back right away and referred me to a surgeon. There was some misunderstanding and I thought I was getting surgery today, but apparently I'm just meeting the surgeon. Other than that I have no idea what's going on. The uncertainty is killing me, but I'm just trying to take it in stride.
They say six weeks out.

Some people start school today. Summer is basically over in Seattle cause it's dark when I wake up. The rain hasn't decided to stay yet but I'm beginning to feel the morning chill.

This week we're going back to evening schedule at gymnastics: 3:30-8pm. That means I'm going back to training CrossFit classes in the morning. I'm very excited to see all of my original clients again, and I hear that their happy to see me back too.

I can't say anything is confirmed yet, but I've decided to test out of high school and take CC classes this year. I wanted to do Running Start which is a high school program at the college which allows highschoolers to get college credits while they're still in school, but apparently I'd have to actually be enrolled and attending a highschool in the district to qualify. I don't really want to go to highschool, so testing out is the alternative.

I finished The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, which is one of the most intriguing books I have ever read about a man who keeps the beauty of youth while the rotting of his soul shows in a painting that he hides away:
"'Ah, what is impossible?' murmured the young man, going over to the window, and leaning his forehead against the cold, mist-stained glass.
'You told me you had destroyed it.'
'I was wrong. It has destroyed me.'
'I don't believe it is my picture... There was nothing evil in it, nothing shameful. This is the face of a satyr.'
'It is the face of my soul.'"
