I'm Healing like Wolverine

Barely any dramatics, actually am; not-even-human fast.

My theory is to be hard on an injury; babying it only prolongs things, plus it’ll heal all pansy-like and crooked.

I’m still not totally normal though, why have I become so clumsy? This was a first:

It was full too, and glass everywhere.

Fast Keri Fact – I’ve worn the same perfume since grade 11.

Wednesday was a big car swap day – drove 4 different vehicles 180 km, might be my new record.

Found this on my windshield at GM.

Ha that’s from my boss; we speak in code.

My Accord review prints next week.

Not only is it one of my favourite cars out there, but this is definitely my best-written review to date. Oh WAIT till you read this one line I invented, it’s so good I texted it around to everyone all braggy-like.

What you should not listen to me about is fuel economy. Ugh.

Since starting writing technical reviews for the paper, my phone is full of photos like this:

I have to record and monitor my fuel economy now, something I never paid attention to, and still barely do. Boring.

Caught the Jay’s home opener from the Honda box.

I’ve never loved baseball, but somehow each summer I end up at least 3 games. What I do love is the excited energy of 50,000 people.

What a week, I’m glad it’s done. Don’t think I’ve ever blogged such a statement.

I abhor drama, but despite my efforts it still somehow finds it way in. Nothing I can’t handle, but drama is draining regardless, isn’t it (and thank you to you, for not destroying me like you could have).

Kay I have to finish my ‘Accord Fact File’, and then see ya later computer I am outta here!  I have an Acura RL this week that needs to go for a good drive.

Have a great Saturday night TTYT.

 

Been Evolving my Look Guys

See the zipper? A fashion detail.

Now that my hair’s almost long, a ponyhawk.

Mostly I just dainty-fied my existing look eh, “classy commando”.

Two recent favourite outfits.

Bought my first eyeliner.

Signed, the world’s oldest tomboy

I’m wearing pencil skirts now.

Pretty comfortable too, you could sprint in this one.

Fashion show over, the tape has started to fall over the lens.

Look, it’s a triangle.

If I make this sign with my hands, does that mean I’m a member of the i1100m1n@t1?

(like how I’m avoiding being tagged for typing it?)

About them, I’ll say this:

Oh I totally get it, it’s just not my thing.

 

 

I Am a Hurtbag

I’m the most physically hurt I’ve been a long time, probably 4 years.

A week ago I likely broke my toe.

Freak accident – my sock got caught under that radiator while I was full-steam ahead, and my baby toe got caught underneath.

See the arrow, how it’s no longer flush with the floor?  And that’s a 1950’s metal radiator too, what’s up mega toe.

No shoe even, for a few days. Jacknifing pain when I move the wrong way. For one week I’ve been forced to move soooo slooowly it’s awful.  Such a change from my usual operating at 100mph, instead like, I’ll have some garbage to throw out, see that the can is 12ft away *puts garbage in pocket*. I’ve been wondering if this is what it’s like for a really fat or old person.

Flew home the day after it happened, had to walk 3 airport terminals on it; and Atlanta ones at that.

Arrived home to a broken heater at home, so it was 2 nights like this.

Fortunately the repair guy came through Thursday, I was the guy’s last stop before the long weekend.

Visited the doctor today.

He said the radiation isn’t worth it to finding out if it’s broken, especially since there is no solution but time. He says 4 weeks it’s good, 6 and it’s like it never happened.

While there, I told him how he missed out on the finger infection incident, because 1.5 weeks ago ya that happened. Then I boasted about beating it without penicillin, because I did.

A finger infection is the WORST.  You get taken down by the tinest nothing of a thing OMFG debilitating show-stopping pain from this tiny invisible thing.

Whaddya see? Nothing right.

Typing killed. Yes I realize how dumb that sounds, but oh it did, and I had so much type.  Every keystroke was torture.

I didn’t know this could happen to a human. If I hadn’t had this happen to me, I’d be rolling my eyes too, but no no seriously, if someone tells you they have it, it’s cripplingly for real.

The most popular solution, from a variety of sources, is penicillin. But I don’t want to. To me, that’s like getting rid of some garden weeds by burning the whole garden to the ground.  Instead, I did polysporn and a polstice.

At one point I watched the infection climb up my finger, past the second knuckle. More poloysporn and polstice.

Then I had to fly to San Diego, and I’m terrified of getting sick in the States, who can afford that. So I did something I haven’t done in 8 years, and darkened the door of an emergency room.

Where I had the nicest experience! Like, it could have been filmed as an ad for our amazing medical system, right down to the mumbling meth head in the corner who lifted his head to wish me a nice trip as I walked out door ahaha. We are so lucky. If you complain about the medical system here, you want too much.

The nurse made me feel better, off I flew and finally it broke (this act comes with a fever, by the way), and I could start to usse my right hand again.

Think about how strong my immune system is now! Look what it just defeated. MEGA immune.

So that’s the update.  Leave it with me guys, back to regularly scheduled programming soon; I just need a little more time to regenerate before leaping back in.

Leave it with me guys

Almost caught up here; had to do some maintenance that took priority over blogging (if the computer fails, there is no blog. There is no spoon).

Have a backlog of stuff here, most half drafted, which I’ll catch you up on later this week.

I wrote some fun car stuff on Autonet.ca, my Hyundai Santa Fe XL review has been filed and will print next week (short answer – add it to your test drive list), and this week’s column is about filming in your car.

TTYS, and thanks for always checking in,

xo Keri
