News From the Couch

jakethrash upgraded my Treo 650 to a Samsung Instinct. This is a very neat phone. It's taking time to put everyone's phone numbers in there (no beaming ability as far as I can tell) but I'm happy with how it handles e-mail. Something that I love already is that I can multi-task, which is something I couldn't do on my Treo. I can be sending picture e-mail but also send Twitters, take more pictures, etc. Fabulous!

I'm so thankful that I have an awesome husband, awesome mom, a laptop, Netflix, my iPod, and my Instinct, as well as the more traditional entertainment books (many on loan from skkyechan, magazines (my guilty pleasure, Soap Opera Digest), and loads of comics. I have an adorable little graphic book called A Really Super Book About Squirrels, filled with water color illustrations.

And speaking of watercolor, I got some awesome watercolor brush pens that I can't wait to experiment with once I get some better mobility, like being able to actually sit at a table so I can work on some sketching and painting since I'm on home arrest.

We fixed my boot so my leg fits in there much more comfortably and I don't feel things moving around as much when I move my leg. I don't know what it is that was moving around. It wasn't painful, just uncomfortable, so I'm hoping it wasn't the little bone that didn't get plated. We'll find out Tuesday at the follow up appointment. The adjustment also lets me move my toes without moving others things that I'm pretty sure shouldn't be moved. The only thing that's still an issue is the bruising on the outer part of the leg.

Here's a not-so-great picture of my cuddle-buddy-on-loan, Athena (she's decidely Ron's cat):
