The orthopedic surgeon moved me from a splint to a Galveston metacarpal brace. I'll be wearing this for 2-5 more weeks. It's even removable for showers.
I went into Sim's Music yesterday and the guy behind the counter says "hey, I had one of those... a Galveston metacarpal brace, right?" I said "yeh, what'd you punch?" He said "A cabinet." We agreed that those things just jump right out at you.
Alicia's mom took Jacob and all of us to Disney World for his birthday. He had a blast and lasted much longer than we though he would without a nap. Pictures here.
I thought that breaking my hand would cure me of my temper... it didn't. I kicked in a drawer within a week. I took this as a sign that I have a real problem that needs to be dealt with. When I was younger and I ran away (coincidentally to Disney World), my parents stuck me in counselling. First thng the consellor did was get me into running. I've been pretty good about sticking with exercise up until about a year and a half ago when the kids' schedule took over. This week, I made myself get up and start walking again. I've been pretty good about it, but I really need to get myself to bed at a reasonable hour to reduce the urge to sleep in.
I need to learn to be less critical and more positive. Everyone said how wonderfully Jacob behaved in Disney (and in most situations). I seem to just remember the outbursts and breakdowns. Hopefully the exercise will get me back to my zen place.
I rigged up a mic stand to do Rock Band vocals and guitar at the same time. It was an absolute blast. My game buddies and I got together today and did the power trio thing. We rocked.
My latest addiction on Facebook is "Friends for Sale". Since no one is going to indicate they trust me, I'm just going to buy everyone and keep them as pets.
