Yeeeeouch and random thoughts.
Dec. 3rd, 2003 11:14 amRunning on ice really starts to hurt after a while. I need to get my hands on some of those treads that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
persephonemoon linked to a while back. Of course, if certain asshat homeowners, landlords, and supers would be timely about clearing snow and ice, I wouldn't have to worry about it. It makes me very mad to be walking on a public sidewalk and confront a sea of ice. What if chicating was visiting (which would be very cool. no matter what)? What about the people on crutches? What about people with plain old balance problems? Grrrr.
Speaking of injury, I've managed to further damage my right knee. Dammit. I hurt the tendons in that knee 10 years ago, not 4 months after having orthoscopic surgery on my left knee. I avoided (expensive) surgery and PT on my right knee by being very careful to stretch out properly and strengthen the surrounding muscles, etc. I guess 10 years is a pretty good record, huh? Damn. I'll check out PT and see if I can alleviate the symptoms before it gets bad enough to require surgery. Don't want surgery. Don't have time. At least, not until August. Maybe late April. Maybe.
So, I'm planning to run the L.A. Marathon in March. Andredwright is making noises about joining me for either N.Y. or D.C. in October. And now I'll be riding with Zach for the Minnesota Red Ribbon Ride in July. I'm very curious as to when I became a jock. Not complaining, mind you. Just curious.
Made a new shortbread recipe last night and mailed it off to sundry peeps. Let me know how it turned out, please? I was far too full of starch to even think of trying a piece last night.
"Carol of the Bells" is stuck in my head. The thunderous piano version that my stepfather does. Luckily, this makes me happy.
I'm worried about Zach. He's sick, and very tired, and seems a little.... lost? Which is worrisome because he's opening a show Friday night. Also, he's never sick. Seriously. The man is a bull. Sigh....
Since I am a bad daughter and did not go "home" for Solstice, I've offered to come up on July 20th. Zach thinks he will be able to come up with me, and I might even get to see my cousin Laura. Which would rock.
I'm a little sad that I won't be making holiday cookies and booze for all and sundry, but it's probably for the best, as I am poor and am trying to save up. Z & I are talking about home ownership, and I would love to get LASIK done before that. I might make one small batch of cookies. Just for myself, 'cos I'm greedy like that.
