It's been awhile since I've contributed to this blog. That's because I haven't done anything interesting lately. This is because, after I survived being hit by a truck, I injured myself trying to catch a Frisbee. So for the past five days, I've done little but try to rehab a pulled hamstring. Ice and heat and elevation and Icy Hot* and a bunch of other not-so-medical things that make for a boring blog post.
*There was one fiasco with the Icy Hot. It wasn't terribly interesting, but it will garner the "I am an idiot" label. Just remember, after you apply the Icy Hot, wash your hands before touching your eyes.
Anyway, I can't run or jog or bike or do anything fun, and it's worth noting that these are the only things that I actually do. Couple that with the fact that my job is winding down slowly, and there's not too much for me to do for another couple of weeks. I've been watching SNL reruns and sleeping in and keeping my house obsessively clean.*
*Like, I cleaned the baseboards clean. Not kidding. It's really a good-looking place. Did I mention it was for sale?
The real trouble is this: In the past two months, I've cleaned out my library, gotten rid of some movies; I've basically begun to dematerialize my life; looking ahead to the New Mexico adventure. After all, I'll only stow what I can carry on a bicycle.* So while I'm on the DL, there's not a book or movie to keep me company. I know what happens usually in these circumstances: I rush my recovery and hurt myself worse. I cannot afford that this time, so I'm being beyond intentional about being boring.
*Really not much at all.
And I hate it.
