Pain, cookies, games, and weekends.
Jan. 19th, 2003 09:51 amWow. It took three days for me to stop feeling like I'd been trampled by an elephant, and have not quite full use of my midsection again. Thursday night I went with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tommx to karate. And by Friday morning I had never felt such pain in my abs and lats before. Saturday morning, it was still in Elephant-Trampling pain. Saturday evening, after many hot baths, it was reduced to gorilla trampling pain. And now, I'm almost back to normal. You know what? I'm looking forward to going back.
I did manage to bake sugar cookies which I'm really happy with. I'm a big fan of plain-ish cookies...shortbreads and sugar cookies and things like that. I do wish I could bake gingersnaps likeaquariumgirl's husband. Yum!
( cut for the non-bakers among us )
Looking forward to a game of Civ this weekend; the boardgame, not the computer game. I will undoubtedly get my butt soundly kicked yet again; I'm not very good at it but it's fun to play, and to try and figure out how it works. Hopefully I'll get a good spot this time. Andaquariumgirl will play Crete. She's good at that.
Otherwise, a less than exciting long weekend. I'm a bit disappointed that I'm not at Arisia this weekend. There's always next year. I should be studying for the dreaded GREs, and maybe I'll spend some time tomorrow doing that. I made a decent pot of stew in the crockpot yesterday...still need to tweak the seasoning, so I really say "mmmm." Beta took a flying leap and tried to climb a vertical tile wall in the bathroom. He missed and bonked his head, but he seems okay. He's sitting on my army as I type. I kind of wonder if he'll be the same supercuddly kitty, who wakes me by climbing on my chest, nudging my neck and purring and demanding attention and all that after he's neutered. Course I do hope that he'll stop trying to mount Oblivion. Oblivion has been sweet like nothing else, sitting on the sore spots and warming them, to make me feel better. She's this sweet and sensitive cat-seems to know when I'm not right, not feeling well. Not like Mugs who didn't leave my father's side for quite a while after his knee surgery; following him to the bathroom, the kitchen, and staying right next to his knee when he was sitting.aquariumgirl brought over a new monitor yesterday...I'm back at 17 inches and it's fantastic. Course Beta had to be in the middle of everything because well, he can't be left alone. Nope. He's got to be in the middle of whatever he wants; it's like when he climbs onto the printer while it's printing, and sticks his paws on the paper coming out-so it smudges or jams.
A few things to do, and then off to games.
