Got cleared to play for playoffs, provided I'm not "too crazy" !

Also, my passive ROM for the elbow is back to normal, which means that the ossification of the elbow is likely gone.

Still need to work on getting the active extension back (meaning when no one is bending my arm over their knee to make it straight), but for that I'll have Physio coverage + more exercises. So all in all, good news.

I passed my securities exams!!!!!! Omg. These were the hardest tests I have taken... Definitely humbling as studied my butt off. I melted a part of my brain studying for it..

I really lucked out in starting to believe, as I dare say it my new job looks fun... Kinda hesitant to say.. Don't wanna jinx it. Amazing company.

I hope the celebration is still going.

I'm happy as due to a combination of junk food, takeaway and eating out I haven't had to cook since Thursday. My life is very dull for this to be so pleasurable I know. And technically I love cooking.

won both our playoff matches (elimination round among the bottom 4 teams, and then quarter-finals). My arm seems to be doing fine.

Exchanged contracts on the flat! Completion this Wednesday

went back to visit it on Saturday to do some measuring up - it's still there (always good) and still gorgeous. Can't believe it's taken over four months but the end is (two days) in sight!

Also, I now own a lot of furniture. I'm adulting, and I'm not sure I signed up for it. Send help!

Just booked tickets to go to Astronautalis concert tommorrow.

The worse part is it is 4 hours drive by train, after the show 6 hours wait, with nowhere to be, for the first train to take me home departing at 5am, and I´m going alone. Weather forecast is no rain or snowing and temperatures should be around -6 Celsius, so at least that is not that bad.

Technically my first concert I will go to, seems to be worth it right now.

Travelling to Cambodia in four days.. These last days of work will be a struggle, but soon I'll be drinking cocktails in questionable colours from a rooftop bar in Phnom Penh.

Saw the specialist in follow up. He and the X-ray confirmed what I already knew- the extra bone stuff I was growing stopped. I knew that, because if it didn't my therapist wouldn't be able to give me full passive extension in the elbow.

What this means is that I won't need surgery, and I can stop taking the medication. Hooray!

So now it's just a matter of doing Physio and exercises to get it back to normal. Easy.

I got tickets to Hamilton! They aren't the best seats (I was in work and my phone didn't like the Ticketmaster website so by the time I got there there wasn't many good ones left) but it is on my birthday weekend next year and I am thrilled I managed to get any!!

Indeed, where I was once offered to buy a stolen ham from a guy in a trench coat after a concert. Hamilton is a WEIRD ass place, even for Canada.
