Damn
Knee, that is. Sprained it last Friday while skiing. That's what I get for waxing my skis and going too fast in a tricky situation just to get out of it quicker. Still, it sucks. Ski season only has about a month left around here (and probably half of that will be "spring skiing") so this is a real crappy time to be out of commission. 4 weeks until our Mad River Glen trip, too. But the orthopedist assured me that I should be healed up within a couple of weeks and good to go for the trip. It just sucks in the meantime.
At least I wasn't at work for the last week facing the temptation. Last night I returned and it was bittersweet. Nice to get out of the house again, but my knee killed all night long and it was sad to see everyone else having so much fun on the slopes. I had some crazy idea initially that I would load up on ibuprofen today and go for the demo day... HA! Not going to happen! If I couldn't handle 4 hrs of mostly standing and little movements, there's no way I could give any ski a proper tryout today. Poop!

Just Plain Stuff
Too much of it. My apartment is way too cluttered and we decided not to use the tax refund to move this year. Guess that means it's time to part with some of it. Somehow. I have tried freecycling, donating to Goodwill, selling on eBay and message forums, but it seems that for every item I remove, 3 more pop up in its place. I think I just need somebody to come take all my stuff out of the house. Then I can be really selective about what goes back in and leave all the rest for whomever wants it.
At least the kiddos are happy. Through some strange turn of fate, Mags actually laid down on the living room floor and put herself down for a nap an hour ago. I was watching "Breakfast at Tiffanys" and didn't realize it until the movie was over. Ethan had been drifting in and out of sleep on my lap so I tried putting him down in his crib... he popped awake immediately. After 3 more attempts, though, I finally got him down, too. Bliss!!!! It's quiet and peaceful. Too bad it's late in the day. 2 kids napping at 5:30PM=disaster later on tonight. But I'll take it for now. I could use a break.
