Vacation?

I did it, 30 days of straight posting. It wasn’t easy either. You know all those down days where I was whining about my knee? Yeah, normally I would have just kept the inner thoughts of BBM off the blog. But it was either whine about my knee or discuss the consistency of pasta on some of those days. I erred on the side of you enjoying whining over noodles.

When I started posting at the beginning of November for NaBloPoMo, I was positive I was going to have surgery for my knee. I was sure you would be reading groggy posts from a post surgery me; but that didn’t happen. A month later, I’m now pretty sure that I will actually be getting the surgery anyway. December might be the groggy post month instead. My PT is pretty sure it’s going to happen and from the way I feel, I’m pretty sure as well. Despite a month of working my legs as hard as I was able to, and building up muscle and endurance, the stability is just not there the way it needs to be.

I spent this past month airing out my grievances with my knee, expressing disappointment about potentially delaying my shodan test and training, and just trying to be positive despite the fact that the not knowing aspect has been torturing me. Here I am a month later, and I still don’t know where I’ll be this time next month.

One thing I do know? I’m taking the weekend off from writing. I’m also going to have a glass of wine tonight in celebration of completing NaBloPoMo. Please tell me that I win a prize and pretty please, let it be an XJ8. . .

What?

They’re not giving away any XJ8’s??? Can someone please tell me why I agreed to do this???

***Speaking of prizes, you too can win a prize next week at The BBM Review.
