There’s a phenomenon that happens in the locker room at the gym. No matter how big the locker room, if you walk in and you are the only person, no matter how hard you try, the locker you choose will happen to be right next to the locker of the very next person who walks [...]

Procrastination Nation
I don’t want to do my work right now. You know why? Because the next item on my “to do” list is to write a press release. I’m getting kind of good at writing these things, short of the long story is that the current P.R. involves me playing nice by saying good things about one of my [...]

When you sleep, I hope you dream about me
Ankle is still doing really well, and I’m eagerly anticipating my next doctor’s appointment on Monday when I think I’m supposed to get the stitches out and get an “all clear” date for when I can get my foot wet again, meaning showers without saran wrap, and swimming! In the meantime, I’m kind of enjoying [...]

If the phone doesn’t ring, it’s me
My cell phone has a glitch: it turns itself off every once an a while. Before bed last night I saw it was off, and it had likely been off for hours. I turned it on and waited for the voicemails to come in, but nothing. Is that the nature of the internet age? Who [...]

If it weren’t for disappointment, I wouldn’t have any appointments
Ya’ll, I had a whole post planned. The title was going to be “how to lose 4 ounces in one day!” and the post was going to be completely comprised of a picture of the screws that were formerly in my ankle. In order to procure those screws, all I had to do was ask [...]

Post every day, that’s all you have to do
In November 2007, I played by the NaBloPoMo rules, and posted every day, despite being in awesome pain from my broken ankle. And it ended with me winning nothing but a sense of crazy accomplishment. This time around, pin removal was super easy and I don’t have any sad tales in which to blog, so [...]

For every Ying, there’s a Yang
I’m spending the day selling books at a Weight Loss Expo, (stop by if you’re in the area!) so I’m starting the day with a donut.

Spending some time with the ‘rents
It’s nice being with the parents for recovery time. I think they like it, too, even if it messes with their routine a little. As Dad said this morning, “I can always tell when you’re here for a visit, because there’s food in the refrigerator. I had to move a head of cauliflower to get [...]

Go with the FLOW
Having a “pinectomy” is so much easier and less painful than having them put in. In fact, 18 hours later, I’m already able to hobble around without crutches, although I’m trying to be just a little ginger about things. However, the actual pain of the incision and my ankle at large is less painful than [...]

You may now safely remove hardware
So exactly two years and four days ago I broke my ankle. Two years and three days ago I had two pins put in said ankle to expidite the healing process. My jerk of a surgeon said he wanted me to keep them in for a lifetime. I got a second opinion, and he said [...]
