First Day

[lydy]

So, I made it through my first day with my new car. Well, first work day, I mean. It was ok. The car is wider than my old car. I found that it has cruise control, which I totally set coming home. I drove the speed limit (well, 5 miles over the speed limit, which is roughly the same thing). It felt very slow. That's ok. I took the fatal curve at 40 mph, probably the slowest I've ever taken it. That's ok, too. I looked to see where I'd impacted the wall, but the whole thing is covered with scuff marks where people have presumably done much the same thing.

I also managed to get down on the floor and attach leg wires ok. It's a bit tricky getting up and down, and I can't just kneel, I need to sit and stick my right leg straight out, but it worked. So, it's all good.

I think I like my new car a little better than I did. I may grow reconciled.

I'm glad you're doing reasonably well. Would a cane help at work? Would they allow it?

(introductory digression)
With all the pissing and moaning about all the established "social media" brands, the stupidest worst doesn't seem to get mentioned. Not only is everything backwards from Right Now, so there's no way to find where you left off. You *should* be able to bookmark where you finished reading, and start from there next time. But N-O-O-O!

I read this and said to myself, "I seem to have missed an installment or two. But I check just about every single day . . ." Eventually, I found that the post I missed was the very next one after (above) the last one I'd read last time I was here.

So it sounds like it's all over but being a bowl of jello for another week or two. Not only are you authorized to do so, but you have indefinite coupons for relapses to jello-ness, if not abused.
