monotony

monotony is a lot more obvious when time seems to slow and time seems to crawl when pain is constant and so, the monotony of daily life is vividly apparent to me these days... of course the monotony may be driving you nuts (or away) if you come here every day to ready the same thing said in an ever so slightly different way (and if you love words that much that you are still amused or fascinated or smiling, please share some of yours)...

it remains all about the foot, as i was telling a friend (sorta)...

my day was painful, but i still got a good amount of work done at work and left just before four to get home and tidy up a bit and get a load of laundry done... that was a huge challenge on one foot with crutches in a ridiculously cramped laundry closet where you have to dance around the doors to get clothes in... took happiness out for a bit too, just to the stairs so he had 20 feet or so of lawn... by the end the foot was raging and hopefully the few time i slip a put ridiculously little pressure on it is not setting back the healing or worse, doing longer term damage... after all, i have five softball teams (at least, others who ask me to fill in when i can... could have played four games tonight if i had a foot, err, two feet, i have one after all) asking me when i will be pitching for them every week... anyway, got the shirts pants and socks for next week washed and hung up, sort of, somehow... some stuff is still on the couch, but jackson is going away for the weekend so it won't be in her way... happiness is going to stay with a friend... no nurse all weekend, alas...

ordered a ton of chinese food for dinner and the weekend tonight... well, not a ton, about four dinners, or maybe three, i forget... that way i won't have to cook or move much, just hop to the kitchen and heat up a bit of each, like a mini buffet...

i will now sit and see if the foot will stop hurting for a while... concentration is not easy, but it is a little better than last night... i think the food helped a lot (i didn't eat or move much last night, just sat and ate the crackers next to me)...

yeah, actually, i barely ate the past few nights... veggies and crackers and yogurt and cheese... a few cold cut sandwiches and bananas since last week and that's it... no chocolate or code red (or any soda) and no bread for almost a week... the pants were loose today, but that's a good thing cuz these are my biggest pants... it would be nice to step back down to my middle sized pants again, i'd have more selection from my closet... yeah, i have an inch or few more than i need around my belly... you know this already if you've seen the pictures of me that people put on facebook...

obviously the babbler is sort of awake... i wish i had the focus to let the mind go, but it's taken me hours to put this entry together and most of it is borrowed from a message to someone else (but the babbler is bubbling over with verbosity)... maybe i should take a few hydrcodon (house does) and see where it takes us... i would so much rather have marijuana though... yeah, obviously feel like just letting the old brain wring itself out any which way tonight...

hey, is this breaking the monotony? :)
