I don't want to

I hurt my ankle a few days ago and I've been working on it at the tattoo shop, well I happend to mention it to my manager and he is forcing me to take a day off. I so don't want to spend an unwanted day off from the shop bc I love being there so much. I asked him if it would be okay if I came in and got some drawing done and not apprentice, he said that would be okay. I would like to go but might not because I see that my mom and dad need a break from taking me to Odessa and back everyday. I wish I had my own car to get back and forth without anyone to drive me, but it is what it is right? I have grown so close to all the people at the shop, its hard to imagine missing a day there. I'm going to rest my ankle and get it better so that when Monday comes up I'll be ready to work hard!!!!!! Can't wait to take my artist test to see if I'm ready to take the next step.
