Not only is Blogger working again (for the moment), the dark days of incapacity and indolence brought on my knackered leg look to be behind me at last. I have started work again and, although most of it is done from home, I do finally feel like a member of society again. Not only that, being self employed and in a situation where "sick day" = "no pay", the fiscal wolf has stopped hanging around my front door and has instead wandered off down the road in search of some other would-be bankrupt.
My leg may still be hurting and attempts to get around leave me worn out and in more pain but the upshot of all this disruption to my routine is that I have only drunk alcohol on three occasions in the last four weeks, I have lost weight and now that the "feeling sorry for yourself" episode appears to have passed I feel like taking on the world. My willingness to once again give a shit has prompted me to look at broadening my horizons even further and to that end, not only am I preparing to haul bottom over to Big Town East to spend a couple of days in the office of my current employer, I am considering investing in some trendy toe and tibia togs which will enable me to enjoy other activities previously closed off by injury. I will obviously need a complete new wardrobe for my new life and so I have been glancing through the unipedwear catalogue which came with my Zip 'n' Wash Leggydry 9000.
It seems that two options are open to me......................very, very, very slow hiking or gentle arse kicking.
Decisions, decisions.
