Ment, I think the Universe is trying to tell you to stop playing soccer. Just a thought.

The Universe really should know better by now,

Or, y'know, send an interesting good-looking girl my way. Cuz I'm pretty oblivious to subtle hints.

I just picture Ment perpetually looking like Eric Idle in European Vacation at this point.

Got to the bus stop this morning to realize I lost one of my gloves.

Get off at the subway station, start walking towards it... and I see the glove lying on the ground, in the exact same spot it must have fallen out of my pocket yesterday morning.

Good start to the day.

I started watching Voltron but then I got a message to say Alex Bledsoe had posted an Eddie LaCrosse short story, which I read, and now I can't decide whether I want to watch Voltron or read Bledsoe (#firstworldgeekproblems), so I am doing both...at the same time.

Life is good.

I'm going out tonight with the women I met at antenatal class. None of us have been OUT out much in the last 18months. It's either going to be dull or absolute carnage.

As big as that photo is, what people don't realise is the glass is still only 1:4 the size it is in real life because it's Macros' special custom hand-fitted glass they keep for him down at his local.

Today was a good day.

It was a government holiday here. So my fiancee and I took the day off. We went to a fair, we went shopping, (I bought a book!) we took long walks, we ate out... its the kind of day I love and have to few off. Its the little things that always make me happy.

Concussion is lifting. Still a little off but mostly fine now. No hospital trip for me!

Edit: This is going to sound strange but I'm happy that I have had 15 concussion and not 14. Earlier today my brother thought it would be fun to list out all my concessions (I don't know why, ask him!) and the list came to 14 and it has been bothering me all day.
See, a part of my OCD is around numbers. Some numbers are good, like 3, 5, 13, 15, 23, 25, 42 etc

Other numbers are acceptable, like 1, 7, 9, 21, 53, 55 etc

Most numbers are tolerable: 2, 4, 8,10, 12, 18, 20 etc

Some are barely tolerable, like 6, 14, 17 etc

And some are completely intolerable, like 11. I can't handle things being in a group of 11 or the volume being set to 11 etc.

So 15 is a lot better than 14.

Regaining function in the arm. Still can't straighten it, but it bends enough so that I could shave this morning.

Seeing these incremental improvements makes it easier to tolerate general impatience with overall recovery.
