Learnings

When on crutches, resourcefulness is key.

Here are some things I've learned:

- It IS possible to carry some small/light things, if you can tuck them under your arm, hang them from your fingers, or hold them in your teeth.

- If you just sit on a towel for long enough after a shower, your legs and feet drip dry themselves, and you don't have to get someone else to do it. 

- Excess material of baggy pants can be used to successfully lift and move weak legs.

I have a lot of spare time, so it’s a good thing I have the delightful company of my mother, her partner, and other occasional guests to spend it with. When not being busy being delightful myself, this is what I’ve been enjoying:

- Hamish and Andy’s Gap Year – TV Show (http://www.hamishandandy.com/gap-year-tv/). Funny Australians, who would’ve thought? They’re entertaining though, as they explore the US.

- Raising Hope – TV Show (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1615919/). It’s an American sit com so it’s hardly intellectually stimulating, but perfect mindless entertainment for the permanently tired (ie me) and a bit off-beat.

- A Game of Thrones – The Book (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Game_of_Thrones). My awesome brother and sister sent this to me from Australia. Only started it today but I’m enjoying it thus far! It seems to be a sort of fantasy exploration of politics between and within groups of rulers, would-be rulers, and their subjects.

Looking to discover some great new music – no longer working at a music store after four and a half years is taking its toll! All suggestions welcome :)
