On the Upswing

I was at a really crappy low spot on Friday. I was bummed to be stuck at work and at the mercies of inconsistant hormone levels (This is the first time in 11 years that I've not been on BC pills.)
The trip to purple_terror's folks' house was good. They're a good group of people. There was lounging, reading, eating, and story swapping. We only stayed til Sunday morning, then got VERY lucky in the return trip: no traffic to speak of. The guys and I went to see Dodgeball that night. Very dorky-funny. "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody!" Alan Tudyk of Firefly fame was in it, so that was a bonus.
Monday I went with caulay and ahf to look at houses on the North Shore (EDIT): for them. There were some decent options, but nothing to enirely fall in love with. That took a good part of the day. I spent most of the rest of the day in the kitchen. Now I have apple piiiie.
Robin and Norman have returned from vacation, I rode my bike to work to Alewife and so far (knock no wood) don't hurt! I'm almost feeling productive and at least I don't have to run down stairs every few moments, or even stay there all day, so balance of some sort has returned to my everyday life. Yay!

I spent most of the time on the way home focusing on breathing in a more medatative fashion and managed not to notice any pain like I might otherwise on the Lexington-Alewife trip. And was a fun head rush. This is a pleasing thing. I need to make myself bicycle to the train more often.
