blah mandatory daily post

Today I was able to walk the few blocks necessary to make it to the 50's style diner that Jim and I generally eat at on Sundays. I was sore, but I did it. Then I collapsed on the couch and ended up falling back asleep for 3-4 hours. This was very strange because I had slept quite enough the night before. Does healing a strained back really tire out my body that much?

I watched four more episodes of Queer as Folk today. Brian is slowly getting less annoying. Michael is slowly getting more annoying, mainly due to Brian. There's a new recurring character, a chiropractor, that makes me want to go see a chiropractor. Mm.

Tonight I got "Part of That World" from The Little Mermaid stuck in my head. No clue how... but I sang it and possibly woke Jim up. ;)

The cut on my hand healed QUICKLY. Hooray for clean cuts, I guess.

Antonio is considering staying in Spain. That would be dismaying (but not crushing).

I think I want to go to a dance club. I've put out feelers to see if anyone I've met so far can suggest a good place to go. This is once my back is better, of course. I wish I had people to go with. Although, I've put out feelers to find those, too. :)

Probably any kind of healing goes over better when you're asleep. Having to overcompensate when you move to avoid hurting your back probably contributes to it, too. Though it's not as if you are a light sleeper anyway.

Agreed on all points. Plus, just like in Wheel of Time, being Healed (okay, healed) requires a lot of energy from the heal-ee, so it makes sense that you would be more tired.

heeheehee. I love how you slipped that in... "just like in Wheel of Time"! I can't define why it amuses me but it does :)

It made me laugh. Is it sad that I immediately thought to correlate your injury/healing process to a series of books? Um, probably, but you understand. :)

Heh, only because they are lousy Healers, though. :D

[ex-dervish821.livejournal.com]

Compared to whom? They're at least better Healers than Julia. Or at least faster. ;)

Compared to say, Semirhage. The books have frequent pokes at modern Aes Sedai, because they only use a portion of their potential, and the strength for Healing comes from the the wounded (victim?), instead of from the Power, like it did in the Age of Legends.

Have I re-read the series too often for my own good? Absolutely. :/

I either haven't noticed that, or haven't gotten to such parts yet. The sense I've gotten is that the modern Aes Sedai just aren't as strong as the ones back before the Breaking of the World.

Yeah I assumed that just the little walk to the diner and back was going to be more taxing than usual due to the very careful placement of every step, and the muscles that were being worked that aren't used to being worked. Heh. Still, I'm boggled that it made me THAT tired.
