ismoI woke up angry this morning. I tried the ol' "think of things you're grateful for," and while I am grateful for a lot, it just didn't work today. I was like "Arrr, screw gratitude! I'm MAD." Fortunately the universe took this in good humor. I jumped in the car and drove off to therapy, feeling as if the whole thing was a waste of time. However, by the time I got there, I'd seen enough interesting things to appreciate that I was in a better mood--at least, a good enough mood to talk about being angry, and some of the the things I'm angry about.
The Sparrowhawk's "good" knee has been giving him a lot of grief, and he finally got an appointment with a physical therapist. She determined that he has a torn meniscus. There's nothing he can do directly to fix it, but the therapist gave him some exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles, which should stabilize it and make it hurt less. I think he's relieved just to know for sure what's wrong. While he was out doing that, I went for a walk. We do what we can to keep the old motors running. We've started work again on the Eternal 1000 Piece Puzzle portraying a very complicated yantra. Perhaps if we ever finish it, we'll achieve enlightenment. Since we no longer have a cat to jump in the middle of it and cause a Zen-like disruption, there's some chance we will finish it eventually.
