better and worse

thursday was also tough, but i finally scored a win and was so excited i would have done a little dance if my knee was better.

friday was supposed to be a "hackday", but by the end of the morning i didn't feel i'd contributed much to the team and i really wasn't excited by what we were doing so i got back to work and handed over to my teammate, whose positive response indicated that the week's drama was over, even if only for now.

i enjoyed a great beer o'clock chat with my new teammate, friday night dinner was really nice, mr smear really enjoyed a new book with me.

the storm was incredible, but i couldn't sleep because of my knee.

yesterday was pleasant, my mom took gd and mr smear in the morning (after we rediscovered an old book) and i did my exercises and watched most of the big short which is literally amazing.

we had a big lunch at knead, dropped gd at home and hit the waterfront to find pants for me, mr smear passing out as we arrived.

i'm on crutches, they're visible, and on multiple occasions people walked right in front of me and stopped. wtf?!

i think i napped, coco, ffviii.

this morning started well, our friend came over with her son for pancakes, everyone left for the aquarium and i did my exercises watching captain marvel. i don't care what sparked controversy, the details bored me, but the movie was awesome!

a long nap, watching pinocchio until my mom arrived, a remarkably unpleasant evening but getting over it, getting back into one of my personal projects after two months, an episode of jessica jones and now i'm finally going to try to sleep.

oh. and my knee's been hurting unusually this evening, even though in general i've been adjusting quite well to a single crutch.
