One Dream

Was watching the animated version of Tom Sawyer and came across this song. Took me a while before I realized this was one of the songs that tiresta performed a few FCs ago.

Update^2

Took technocollie to the hospital yesterday for an outpatient procedure to remove a blood clot from his right eye. He has to keep his head tilted forward for roughly a week to ensure the surgery heals properly, and according to him he probably won't be able to drive for a few weeks. In the meantime I'm providing whatever transportation I can, given my work schedule. At least I'm only a few minutes away so I can respond fairly quickly if I'm at home. As far as I can tell his recovery is going okay, though I don't know how bad the pain is for him. I'm guessing he probably won't spend a ton of time online until his eye heals up, but I could be wrong...

Finally went to the pool this afternoon after having planned to go all week. Spent half an hour doing a combination of sculling and walking on the pool floor. Remember the hip pain I mentioned a few entries ago? Well, my goal was to get a good aerobic workout without stressing the joints, and the pool seemed to be the best way to do that.

The challenge now is to figure out how to best work that into my schedule. More than likely I'll only be able to hit the pool once a week. That means the other days I'll have to find some other aerobic exercise to do. Running is out, as is the treadmill. Not sure about the elliptical trainer though. Spinning would probably be out, though.... I tried doing something similar on the Wii Fit (you step back and forth repeatedly on the Wii balance board, like you're pedaling), and I had quite a bit of hip pain afterward.

Gonna call it a night for now. Did a shift swap with a co-worker so I need to be up early in the a.m.
