I figured we deserve a slightly different tone in our photos:

Knee injury update:
Still don’t know what is wrong. MRI in a few weeks, orthopeadic surgen shortly after. Limping, crutches, and taxi rides till further notice.
This is not a proper introduction of our new office mate, Caitlin. Something better will follow.
me. me. me.
i need to see some friends so i can put up photos of them.

But the fact that i still can’t put pressure after the weekend and just two days before the flight makes that just a ridiculous idea. I’m sure i would only do more damage to my knee.
sigh, i’m salty. I promised Q i would come see her when she left 6 months ago.
Maybe we can catch up by going to Portland together in the fall?
Now lets hope the $90 i spent on trip insurance pays off since there is absolutly no refunds or exchanges for my ticket.

People come over to her place with a bottle of wine/liquour and they sit and talk, one on one, while she takes a few snaps of them. She gets to stay home catch up with old friends, get to know new ones a bit better all while drinking for free.
This is my portrait from friday night:
Nearly fell off my Vespa this morning.
I was getting in the left hand lane when i hit one of those painted white lines in the road. The road was a bit and those paint lines are extremely slippery which led me to lose control of my bike. I prevented hitting the ground extending my leg to the pavement (bad idea). At the time i felt like it was broken. I sat on the side of the road in the largest amount of pain i’ve had in a long while. After about 5 minutes then i got the idea to call someone. Blazey or 911? 911 or Blazey? Blazey would freak out so i called 911 instead. I spoke with someone for about 8 seconds and just told them never mind and hung up. I think it was because i could move my leg and feet so i figured it wasn’t broken therefor not emergency enough for 911.
Some fellas finally asked if i needed anything but i told them i was good and proceeded to get back on my bike and head down flushing to the office. I wasn’t sure if i was going to the hospital or to work still. A few blocks down i realized i had to go to the emergency room ASAP and i would need my insurance card, which i didn’t have. Now i pull over and call Blazey tell him to find out our insurane and meet me in front of the office in 5 mins.
Blazey meets me for the hand off of the bike and insurance info and i head to the hospital. I find out nothing is broken just maybe a tear or something.
I’m just hoping i’m good by wednesday.
ps: mom, they didn’t give me powerful pills so don’t worry. but i do have a bunch left over from my back so maybe you should…
