Things That Are Really Hard to Do One-Handed

(Those of you that are thinking dirty thoughts upon reading the title of this post are about to feel real bad)

On Wednesday night I sprained my elbow vaulting in Parkour-- the best part of this injury is the look on people's faces when I say that ^_^

We were working on tic-tac runs and I clipped the second vault with my foot, ended up dropping four feet straight onto my elbow. Was like hitting funny bone times one million, but I had full range of motion without any pain immediately after so I'm pretty sure it's just a sprain.

Tomorrow I'm going to have it X-Rayed just to be sure. For now I'm hobbling around with one T-Rex arm enjoying how all my male colleagues are mother henning over me. It's kind of adorable :)

Oh yeah, I finally finished reworking my website.... still need to proofread the copy, still need to move the domain over, might change some of the wording to be less asshole-y ... might embrace my inner asshole instead :D Who knows!

PS - I know I owe some emails Re: free books, I'm not ignoring you I swear! Will get to them soon.

Chris Ouch!! Hopefully it's back to normal quickly.

Also... I'm not going to GRL now. Bought a new condo and all my travel money and vacation for the year are going to that and moving, selling my old condo, etc.

:(

Isa K. Don't lie. You're just trying to get out of helping me with the hockey slash meetup :p

As it happens I probably won't be able to go to GRL either for a similar reason. Left my job to start a new company, most of my money is locked up now :( Oh wells, we'll see I guess.

Chris Well, today's the last day to cancel for full refund...

Maybe next year! :)


message 4: by Isa (new)

Isa K. Hmmm... that might be a good idea. How does one cancel? The website is obviously unhelpful on this ^_^;;;


message 5: by Chris (new)

Chris I'll pm you the email address. :)


message 6: by Isa (new)

Isa K. Thanks :D


message 7: by Chris (new)

Chris And on another thread, there are people crossing their fingers that space opens up at GRL, because they're on the waiting list, so... :)


message 8: by Isa (new)

Isa K. Update: So the doctor says my elbow is broken, but it's the smallest fracture in the world and I'll probably be better in about a week.


Experiment BL626 Yay for the good news.

Julio Genao Parkourfail—please tell me it ended up in a YouTube compilation.

Get well soon, Isa. Happy you're only stuck with t-Rex arm for a little while.

:-)

Katyna Sigh. You are probably too busy to read a book and write a snarky review. Just so you know, I miss your sass.

>.> I take a tree falling in an empty forest approach with my Parkourfail (or flail as the case may be) :P No evidence other than my bruises!

Fangtasia Ah, the wonders of trying to function one-handed!

Have you tried to make a sandwich? Ever tried to unwrap a cheese slice with only one hand? It's an interesting proposition.

I broke my left wrist many years ago. As I am left-handed, that left me with one clumsy hand to do everything for 6 weeks. The sandwich? By the time I finished making it, I wasn't hungry anymore.

Hope you feel better very soon. Oh, and much success on your new company.


message 14: by Julio (new)

Julio Genao yes, yes, quite right—but if we could just all marvel together at how funny the word 'parkourflail' is


message 15: by Fangtasia (new)

Fangtasia the mental image is hilarious...

Sorry, Isa.


message 16: by Isa (new)

Isa K. No offense taken :)
