still falling

Had four days off. I still don't feel recharged, but I have another long weekend (making up for stat days I haven't taken yet, and some overtime.) I feel like the sign of my unrechargedness is that I again took a Transportation Tumble. Last time it was on the steps of the metro, this time I was getting off the bus and my left ankle twisted. I collapsed to the ground (in the rain) like the finale move of a ballet jazz recital. It was alright during supper with Swiss Girl (presumably due to her excellent company), but now it hurts so much I had to take Tylenol. Meh meh meh.

I mostly read this weekend--finished the sheep mystery, which got really good. And I'm almost done reading Molière's Les Fourberies de Scapin. I remember trying to read Molière in high school and finding it too hard to understand. Maybe it's modernized--I don't know, it's a free version I got somewhere for my kobo.

Alright, off to bed at the ungodly hour of 1 AM cause I have a day shift tomorrow.

Oh wait--while killing some time I dropped in at a dvd store to see if there was anything nice, and found a BBC series I'd never heard of. It's The Age of Kings, from 1960s, and it's a 15 part miniseries going through all the history plays of Shakespeare. Fun! It was "event television" -- the sort of thing everyone stayed home to watch. Looking forward to watching it.

For twisted ankles: Think ICE : Ice; Compression; Elevation - to alleviate swelling.

It seemed to be fine today.

Sorry you're feeling bad. :(

But you have a Swiss Girl now?

*is no longer exotic*

:-D I've had a Swiss Girl since grade 7. Actually she has dual citizenship, and daily passes for a Regular Old Canadian. But get her in the vicinity of runny cheese and her Swiss genes emerge!
