i swore that i'd clean the apartment this weekend.

well, i DID reorganize the cupboard which doubles as a pantry today.

but... everytime i start to do anything that requires lifting, bending, twisting, moving... the sharp pangs in my side remind me that i'm supposed to be taking it easy until i see the surgeon again (tuesday). furthermore, my mother-in-law informed me that it would take my tissues inside at least six weeks to heal and that i'm probably not doing myself any favors by twisting and contorting (as is my norm).

so... i've been cataloging the unlabeled vhs tapes. we've caught up on several weeks' worth of that 70s show and i've labeled the other tapes. i've also watched a few other shows.

i haven't been entirely lazy--went to the organic market and walmart.

now i'm watching dark angel... the mermaid episode. i thought i'd forgotten to tape it! woohoo!

i have stuff from november and earlier--weekends away from the apartment, a visit to indiana, the weeks i was too sick to watch/in the hospital/recovering... yeah, i should have better things than tv.

but tv watching doesn't involve moving too much.

until i contort into some half on/off the couch position and need to get upright again.

*sigh*

i gotta get this place cleaned by early march.

Take care of yourself. I did way too much the week post-surgery following my gall bladder removal and wound up paying for it severly with a much longer recovery time than was necessary.

Heh. I've got to get mine cleaned and, like, vanilla-scented, by Tuesday when the probation officer comes to do a home visit to determine our fitness as parents. We're fit already. If we're not dead yet, we're fit.

Do dickens hurt? :-) Glad you've got your priorities straight on the nookie issue. Bed rest!

Oh yes. I line 'em up and knock em down. Helps me keep my ghoulish figure. It's why I'm so Jung at heart. I can only sleep in the shade.

Hey, if Al can stoop low enough to mention zir Elvish impersonation...

Muahahahaha!

Yes, you must clean before I visit :)
