Currently swearing to the high heavens that I will never take simply getting out of bed in the middle of the night and walking to the restroom for granted ever again. (I will totally take it for granted again.)

I had a hell of a realization about what my life might look like when my sister has to leave next week. She has her own life! It's not fair to expect her to stay forever. I've made some good adjustments so far, but thinking about things like making dinner, doing the dishes, driving to the store...huh. I have options, to be sure. Grocery delivery, drive-through restaurants (and pharmacies), maid service if needed...

I need to sit down and make some lists.

Noted elsewhere: I was on crutches after ankle surgery 30 years ago, so I thought they would be easier this time around. I failed to take into account the fact that I was 30 years younger then too 🙂

Life on (awkwardly-adapting-to) crutches: Using the restroom, brushing your teeth, and getting your meds in order takes 30 minutes, and you're exhausted afterward.

Today was a nice reminder that when you are on a mobility device (in my case the knee scooter) people are generally really nice about getting out of your way and holding doors for you. It also serves as a conversation starter as people tell you about their experiences in a boot. I'm OK with that!

Big day out! Not only did I shower and shave, my sister and I went out for lunch, then wandered downtown Grayslake before getting some beers.

And now I’m going to collapse in bed with all the Ibuprofen.

Sleeping with this big clunky boot on my foot is sucking pretty badly, to the point I needed a pain pill at 4 AM. I'm going to try (with my doc's blessing) sleeping without it tonight and see how that goes. Today's excitement includes a shower (yay!) and maybe even leaving the house? We shall see.

In light of the recent fucking horrible news, some good places to send donations:
Trans Continental Pipeline: tcpipeline.org
Transgender Law Center: transgenderlawcenter.org

Both are 501(c)3 nonprofits, which means many employers will match donations to them.

I've locked in the itinerary for this year's summer road trip. I decided to skip the boring drive between Chicago and the Rocky Mountains, so from July 1 through August 2 I'll be driving a big loop starting and ending in Portland, Oregon. I'll be working remotely 2 days/week, so it all works out.

Of course I'm driving up to Minneapolis this weekend. Goddammit.

I swear - judging by the M/M genre, there are actually no straight hockey players at all - every single one of them is queer in some way.

I've recommended my favorite M/M werewolf romances*, now how about a list of ten of my favorite contemporary m/m romances? (Contemporary in this context means stories in the here-and-now, with no fantastical elements.)

These are some of the best I've read in the last 10+ years, from incredibly sweet and thoughtful to absolutely hilarious.

I'm taking the train to downtown Chicago later today (only an hour away, but this beats sitting in traffic!). I've got a hotel room in The Loop for the weekend and will be at the Chicago Cider Summit tomorrow with friends. Tomorrow night may even find me at a club or two in Northalstead, but we'll see!

I'm sure the weather will be fine downtown this weekend. There's no way anything bad could happen in January on the shore of Lake Michigan, right?
