Today’s lunch.

Top is mine and the bottom is my boyfriend’s.

You can see I immediately removed the lonely two croutons they snuck onto my salad. And we got all the accompanying sauces/condiments in little containers…

It’s officially been three weeks since I tore my MCL.

If it takes the full six weeks to heal, I am half way there…

It now costs $10/month to read my city’s paper… online.

Yeah… No.

I think it’s ridiculous to promote something in order to reduce waste and environmental impact, which ultimately saves the company money (eliminates material printing, distribution costs, etc.), then have them turn around and charge the public to access the information.

I mean, they are still making money from ad revenue and most of the ‘world news’ is linked to other papers/sites.

Just my two cents.

The salmon was a fail.

It was like eating a coconut covered chocolate, but instead of chocolate it was fish. And instead of being good, it was bad…

Dinner: Lime and coconut salmon, carrots and salad.

You’re probably all tired of pictures of Butter. But too bad because she has definitely been my best bud these last few weeks…

I’ve always had some kind of furry pineapple in my life but Butter is something else. There was definitely something missing in my life before I adopted her.

And even with all the three am wakeups (OMG MAAAAMMMMM I’M HUNGGGRRRYYYY MAMMMMM), hairballs, trips to Narnia, nail clipping extravaganzas and pervert nipple-licking, bathroom staring, sex interrupting moments…

She is still my favorite.

Usually I have leftovers for lunch, but I didn’t realise I packed the last bit for my boyfriend to eat at work today.

So…Here’s to a second breakfast!

Books I’ve read while being stuck inside. I loved The Passage!...

Thu, 16 May 2013 11:18:07 -0600

Books I’ve read while being stuck inside.

I loved The Passage! Experiments, criminals, monsters, world devastation. Tons of characters, different time frames. Beautiful!!! The Twelve was the second book in the series but I didn’t find it as exciting as the first.

Twenties Girl was a super easy, light (three hour read) romantic comedy. With ghosts. It was okay but the plot was easy to guess and it was very cliche. Probably a good mom book?

Dog Blood = Zombies. I actually don’t like zombie movies/books but I gave it a shot. Again, very easy to read, very cliche zombie story. Zombies try to kill people, people kill zombies. Weee!

Now I am going to attempt to read my boyfriend’s favorite: The beastly Necronomicon!

*Also does anyone else HATE hardcover book sleeves? I don’t understand the point, they bunch up and crinkle and get in the way… Erg.

Anyway, if you have any book suggestions (Other than Twilight or any other teen romance novels) please share them with me!!!

Butter. Still loving the boobs.

I’m pretty sure I just made the most calorie dense smoothie: Kale, avocado, banana, blueberries, protein powder and almond milk.

Top that Starbucks.

I have no appetite today. I finally dragged myself out of bed and had a coffee. I’m wearing the same clothes as yesterday because laundry needs to be done, which normally isn’t a problem except that I am not supposed to load my knee with weight (especially going down the stairs).

Today I am supposed to up my time on the stationary bike from 15 mins to 20-25 mins as long as I don’t experience too much pain. But I have to drop the seat all the way down again so there’s no tension on my knee. I’m thinking about just going to the gym in my workout clothes to save myself the pain of having to walk to and from the change room. I should also brush my hair before I do that…

I argued with my mom and boyfriend today too. Always unproductive.

Now I just have to make dinner, ride the bike and this stupid day is over.

Lying in bed for two hours because there’s no reason to get up.

Maybe I’ll manage to fall asleep and the afternoon will go by faster.

Less than a month ago my goal was to squat 135 lbs.

Now my new goal (set by my PT) is to walk for five minutes without experiencing pain.

Oh man.

Got home from my physio appointment (deep tissue massage, ouch) and was immediately groped by Butter.

It’s been sixteen days since I injured my MCL.

This not exactly how I played to destress after finishing finals. I had a solid two days before I injured myself and have since been stuck at home. I’m lonely, I’m restless, I’m depressed and generally sad.

I feel like it’s been sixteen days since I was able to really enjoy something and be happy. It feels like everyone is doing SOMETHING. Plans for vacations, weddings, competitions, graduations, new jobs, meeting goals…

About 3/4 of my summer plans involved using my legs. Sadly the only thing I’ve accomplished is getting a haircut. Maybe I could make a dentist appointment or go for a physical. Both of which are extremely gratifying, fun things to do.

Week days are hard for me. Everyone’s at work and there’s no one to talk to (not that I have much to say). I’ve been trying to sleep as much as I can. Last night I slept twelve hours and then I tried to have a nap simply because nothing was keeping me interested. Instead I just laid in bed, checking my phone every five minutes. What time is it? Do I have to make dinner yet?

I’m tired of drawing and reading. When you’re forced to do those things for hours every single day, they aren’t fulfilling anymore.

I watched the birds chirping in the trees and homeless people digging through my dumpster today. A few people were outside, walking their dogs or holding hands.

Hey, you can’t see me but my knee is burning.

hey there I've been reading your progress with your life and your leg, and just wanted to say i'm sorry things are so difficult at the moment. are you on vacation at the moment, with the not having stuff to do? just asking because i'm also unemployed and have nothing to do, and it does make you insane. makes you feel horrible. I really hope that your leg gets better very quickly.

Sun, 12 May 2013 20:15:21 -0600

I am on vacation!

I finished my first year of university in April and was planning on volunteering for the majority of summer. I was considering a part time job if it was compatible with my volunteer activities, a run I signed up for as well as my best friend’s wedding and brother’s high school graduation.

But thanks for the well wishes! I hope you are able to find employment (I’m not sure of your circumstances) and that you can find something that makes you happy!

Seriously. I don’t even know what to say.

Supposed to be 28°C today… But it’s cloudy and windy out. So I might be a tad underdressed.

We found a shop in the city that sells fresh, local, organic meat (ranging from chicken, to bison and even wild game). And all their products are MSG, wheat and gluten free!

I shouldn’t be that excited but tasty, healthy food is a wonderful thing.
