The beginning

[dancerjodi]

What an appropriate way for a Monday to start - with dark skies, rain and cold. I guess to truly appreciate beauty we need to know what's not beautiful. My hair is doing that growing big/frizzy thing that it does with humid rain. I've put it all up in a bun to try and tame it, but now my neck is cold :)

I'm feeling better today than I have over the last couple of weeks though. I still don't believe that I'm done with school for a couple of months, the thought that I didn't have to do homework this weekend and I won't have to treck into the Southie/Dorchester area on Wednesday after work is odd. Still, another commitment has popped up in that I'll have dancing on Mondays AND Tuesdays for the next 2 weeks to get ready for my show. It will allow me more time to chill in Waltham but I'll miss the last 2 episodes of Buffy (B is going to tape them and we'll watch em' when I get home around 10:00 I guess).

I'm finally calling the doctor today to see if they think I should go in for an x-ray of my ribs. Its been 3 weeks already and I'll go from having a mild, numb pain to having difficulty sitting in my car and talking in a matter of seconds for what appears to be no reason at all. Damned body!

I guess I feel like writing something meaningful, poetic and sharing - I just don't know quite exactly what I want to say or how I want to say it. So I won't. So many thoughts have been going through my head about feelings of home, love and sexuality. I guess its a good thing to be continuously thoughtful about things, not letting life simply just happen. But a vacation sometimes would be nice :)

Also have then check for my weird rib injury of 1999. I twisted and was hit by something so I rotated my rib out of place.

on friday i was talking to niralth about the progress of her knee injury recovery. she said that she forced herself not to overstress the injury, because her father (from whom she gets certain habits including pushing too hard) broke a rib a couple years ago. he started rock climbing again before it was healed, and it shifted and healed in the wrong position. he can't rock climb anymore, because it hurts where his flesh moves over the jagged rib edge. it would require major surgury to fix -- apparantly, you can't easily re-break a rib the way you can an arm or leg.

which is a long way of saying that rib injuries can be more serious than i had thought. check it out. i hope it's nothing major! ::hugs::
