Down for another weekend

One would think that it would be difficult to be down for two consecutive weekends, especially with the gimpiness. Sadly, not so. After a weekend of relative mobility--albeit slow, painful, and cane-filled--yesterday's knees were filled with bad. And it didn't seem to matter whether I had my tensor on, my giant steam-powered clockwork knee brace, or no support at all, I still had trouble putting any kind of pressure on it. Even gravity was punching the knee in the junk, it seemed.

It all came to a head last night, with the wailing and gnashing of teeth and taking entire minutes to come to a sitting position that didn't require me to cry for a medic. Also sadly, no medics in the house. The Dorklord may be well versed in first aid, but a) this isn't really first-aid-related, and b) he's housesitting for the Tartan Avengers for a couple of weeks.

So this is the week that will, if not kill me, make me wish I were a robot.I've got the slideshow to take care of, the guilt of making the Jago take care of not only me but outside stuff that needs taking care of, a very important concert to put on, and a wedding to attend. Oh yeah, and let's not forget all that work I have to catch up on if and when I can actually go in and this knee thing to deal with in the meantime.

Let's get the important stuff out of the way first. The Apoocalypse Kow 10th Anniversary Concert (and Slideshow) will be held othis Saturday, June 20, at the Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre at 7:30pm. Tickets are $18/$15 and are available at the door or from your favourite member of Apocalypse Kow. Local a cappella group Epsilon are our special guests.
