Updatey Thing

[dcseain]

I got home about 30 minutes ago. Just as i stopped at the light at the end of the off-ramp from the toll road, clicking noises upon the windscreen. Sleet. Enough to have accumulated to the point of seeing wheel tracks and footprints by the time i went into the house. I'm hoping Reston's far enough west to avoid the freezing rain - we'll see. I'm guessing no church in the morning.

Why was i getting home at about 04:00, you may ask. Well, i got to The nookery at about 18:20 last night, picked up nosebeepbear, and headed of to IKEA in College Park so she could buy a table. We met up with lionessprite there, as she was also shopping for tables.

It took most of an hour for furniture pick-up to produce the table bits (table top, mounting bracket, and legs), for us to take home. Much to nosebeepbear's surprise, the table parts, and her scooter all fit into my CR-V, and the hatch closed, too.

From there, it was off to Plato's for food - i was desparately hungry. After a satisfying meal, and a pause at the Kentlands Giant, we were back at The Nookery, where supremherptile and M kindly emptied my car of the IKEA purchases, as i'd totally taxed myself with the shopping trip.

On Thursday, i injured myself playing Wii Sports - i hurt my right shoulder and my left gluteus maximus. I got sports injuries from playing console games. Who'da thunk?

As a result of those injuries, and rehearsal Friday night, i hurt too much to go up the stairs, then slept - sort of - on the sofa. This morning, i ate a small bit, ached a lot, managed to get up the stairs, fall into bed, and slept through today's rehearsal.

I did get some ibuprofen after dinner tonight, which has helped a lot. I expect to be at tomorrow's rehearsal, assuming i'm healed enough for the dance numbers. :| No Wii for me until i'm better, and more carefully, obviously.

No honey it's not looking good. I actually posted a weather report in my LJ a few minutes ago, it was that noteworthy.

I left for church a few minutes before you posted this. The cancelled the later service, during which i teach, while i was en route. I stopped at a PetSmart and got cat food and litter. By the time i got back to the beltway, much more snow was falling, and i came back to Reston at about 40 MPH, max. I paused at a gas station, Trader Joe's, came home, walked the dog, and do not plan to go out again today. The roads are in godawful shape.

Damn. I was going to make some comment about Wii rsi, but you seemed so happy with it.....

[dcseain.livejournal.com]

Technically, yes, these are both RSIs. But, i'm no more damaged than i would have been doing the real thing for a similar amount of time. Obviously need to ramp up and pace myself. I figure that overall, the danger of a RSI from Wii is no more nor less than any other console system.

You're probably throwing/yanking too hard. The console responds just as well if you nudge your wrist, most times. And while that defeats the purpose of getting any exercise at all, just hafta balance it out.

Yep, thus i extrapolated myself. I also will set my Mii to do baseball left-handed, as i naturally throw left and switch-hit, and i think that will help me balance things better, as i'm right-handed in the other sports, ignoring boxing, which i've not tried yet. I know i'm left-handed in pole fighting, archery, and fencing, too.
