Updatey Thing

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 [livejournal.com profile] nookery at about 18:20 last night, picked up [livejournal.com profile] nosebeepbear, and headed of to IKEA in College Park so she could buy a table. We met up with [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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

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.
