Mendacious

[talktooloose]

I'm on the mend. I've put the crutches aside and I'm walking with a cane. This is a distinct improvement though I have to resist my tendency to do too much too soon.

I'm reading The Knee Crisis Handbook and coming away feeling guilty that I didn't do more for my health preventatively. This is probably not a valid feeling (most guilt isn't) as I have taken steps to improve my knee health in the past years. The guilt arises from my feeling that if I only control all aspects of my life consistently and perfectly, I will never age and will have maximum success in all my endeavours.

This hyper-control theory doesn't hold up to much scrutiny so don't bother.

I see a orthopaedic specialist some time in the next 10 days and I am trying to arm myself with as much knowledge as possible before then. Still, this has been a humbling experience and it's making my moods a bit swingy.

Living across the road from my friends is turning out to be as wonderful as hoped. appelle and I have been sitting out on the front porch of an evening and reordering the universe in our own image. You may wish to join us.

But my swingy mood was definitely in evidence last night when Appelle and I were chatting and snowmit and spizzy came home. I got really bizarrely manic during the ensuing conversation, embarrassing the 'Mit with my volume and repeatedly cutting off Spizzy when he would speak. I apologize.

I'm having not-coffee later with rfmcdpei and giving him a copy of the Bowie compilation I put together for nyahnyahnyah. Hey, 'Sha! Where are you? I miss you.

Ramble, ramble.

LOL! Almost Freudian, that one.

Thanks for the knee info, and the prod to look at the library.

I don't know that I've ever actually seen a Cliff Notes or Cole Notes. I think of "Cliff Notes" as just an expression for "tell me the highlights."
