Hello to you.<\/p>\n

<\/a>So there’s something about that event that was kind of life-changing. I’m ridiculously happy about it. I came home with a renewed sense of being able to accomplish anything1<\/a><\/sup><\/span>. OK, I had that already. I just need reminding sometimes.<\/p>\n

I’ve been in contact with my walking partner, Jenn, since she got back home. She’s suggested doing next year’s 3day in Atlanta. I’m not sure I’m up for the 6-month training and fundraising commitment again, but I’d really love to crew one next year. The crew at the 3day is nothing less than awesome.<\/p>\n

Apparently my circus-freakishly-swollen left ankle is not unusual after something like this, so I’m trying to not let it bother me. I feel like my right leg has an ankle, and my left just has a shin attached directly to a foot. It hurts, too, and it’s preventing me from doing things like wearing anklets and sitting on my leg and kicking your ass in an effective manner. However, I will try to go easy on it and give it time to heal.<\/p>\n

Speaking of going easy on it and giving it time to heal, I went back to the gym today. That last 6 days was my longest absence from the Y ever, and I missed it. It went pretty well. The ankle hurt, but not in such a way as I had to yell. The tight tendon in the back of my other knee gave me no trouble on the crosstrainer, which is why I like the crosstrainer a lot. I was thrilled to go back to lifting, but didn’t do my legs. They’ve had enough work to do lately, so I’m letting them off the hook.<\/p>\n

Other news, which may interest you only slightly more than my fascinating fitness issues:<\/p>\n

<\/a>– I am a knitting fool2<\/a><\/sup><\/span>. The phoenix sweater has one arm left to go. I plan to forego my usual drinking, womanizing, and fistfighting this weekend to focus on sweater joinery and chillin’ instead. I have a fabulous 1\/3 of a mohair throw for my bed, part of a faux-suede pillow cover, and that poncho pattern is on the way in the mail.<\/p>\n

– I have also joined a forum of knitters in the Twin Cities. On this forum, we discuss such wide-ranging topics as knitting, and, um… well, knitting. Also, on this forum, the people are friendly and seem to be whom they claim to be, and do not actively seek to destroy others’ happiness and sense of well-being. And also, on this forum, nobody fucks.<\/p>\n

I swear to god, that’s the absolute truth.<\/p>\n

– In two weeks, I will be vacationing in the city by the bay, and I do not mean Tampa. By the time you see this, I will have booked tickets for the night tour of Alcatraz. Yessss.<\/p>\n

– It’s suddenly the time of year for me to be wearing your jammypants again.<\/p>\n

Winter is lurking. Sigh.<\/p>\n

That’s more than enough for a Wednesday, it is.

<\/a>1<\/a><\/sup> Except be an astronaut. I’m pretty sure I could never be an astronaut. Also, my chances of achieving saint or martyr or even cult leader status are slim to none, but a girl can hope. Apart from those, though, the possibilities are still pretty wide open.<\/p>\n

However, I bet I could be a cosmonaut. What does it take to get into the post-Soviet space program? Arms? Eyes? I’ve got those. I’m in.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>2<\/a><\/sup> Some people have entire blogs devoted to knitting3<\/a><\/sup><\/span>. So stop rolling your eyes and be happy I only talk about it this often.<\/p>\n

<\/a>3<\/a><\/sup> If I was going to devote an entire blog to one thing, here are some good options: my car, my feelings towards US Bank, mock duck, my wienermobile collection, the staff of Pizza Luce, public restrooms, my pants, or my livejournal. Don’t deny that a blog about a LJ would be the best idea ever.<\/p>\n
