I've been oddly active on LJ since getting home a while ago - I'm not even bothering to plow through the several long posts on my alumni friends page, I just don't have the focus now, but I will in the morning.
The subject line refers to my leg, which I've been putting some weight on lately. The easiest times to do it are when going down stairs and when walking short distances. I can take very long strides with the leg up in the air, but when I put weight on it I take shorter ones. I'll put the left leg down and gradually transfer weight to it, but getting the crutches down and weight-bearing before the right leg comes off the ground.
This evening was fun, even if I was completely hosed by rolling boxcars and an 11 where, had I rolled <=10 I would have won. I remarked to Jawaad afterwards that one of the things that this break had really reminded me of is how nice it is to be around people. I don't necessarily need to be interacting with them, but it's nice just to have other people around and at least being somewhat engaging.
I should get a job for next year.
