Feb. 6th, 2022 11:09 amHi all - I am here - I am recovering from knee surgery which is quite a thing to recover from really. I had no idea until it happened what it really is. It is pretty major. I am going to be on crutches for a few more weeks and this is a total drag. I had a torn meniscus that needed to be repaired. I did not do it in any kind of exciting way - it was pretty much routine wear on that. Nothing dramatic. It was pretty hairy at first - the first few days - but now it is minor pain and the inconvenience of not being very mobile. I am getting help from friends and neighbors and going ok. I am pretty much stuck in my apartment - on the top floor of my house here and trying to exist within this space. I have to go out for a follow up appointment this week so will see how I do with the stairs here. I have lots of stairs going up into my apartment. Kind of a drag and I am really not good on the crutches. I am in lousy shape and not very strong. After this is over - I am going to get stronger - I will do that much. This makes me want to get in better physical shape for sure.
So I finished my Slashy Valentine - MSV. I had a panic and wrote the very understanding mods and asked for an extension that I ended up not needing. I snaked this one in under the wire and it is posted on the archive. I kind of like the story. It is warming up to me and since I never get any comments on my stuff - I don't expect much there. I am not a popular writer on AO3 so people don't read my stuff. I am just glad it is done. Whew.
That is about all that is new with me. MSV and surgery. I am watching the Olympics now too. Loving that. I did not watch the ceremonial stuff. That is sort of my personal protest of China's human rights abuses - but I am watching the sporting events. I do like to see them get the medals so I watch the medal awardings - but I did not watch the opening ceremony and will not watch the close. That is all propaganda and stuff. So skipping that. It's all about the sports for me this time. So that is what I am doing on that. I am glad the US did a diplomatic boycott. That says something.
Hope all is well with you there and that you are safe and healthy. It seems like omicron is winding down and maybe things will get back to normal? I just don't know. We have over 900K people dead here. How can we go back to normal? Seems insane to forget that this many people have died.
Anyways. Onward.
