The Naby effect
My intentions today were to go into work, but I figured that my card wouldn't work anyway, so just decided to relax.
I wanted to get to the gym at 9am when it opened, but bludged a bit and got lazy. I ended up going there at about noon, which made things a bit difficult because they closed at 6pm on Sundays.
Over the last few days, I've discovered that my right knee is cracking again. The type of crack you feel when you crack your knuckles. I can only take this to be a good sign. Also, doing the exercise where I push my knee down, I've eralised that when I stick my two fingers underneath, there seems to be a little bit less room to do so now, which is great.
The bike's a lot easier now. When I started I reckon I was doing about 26-30 rpm, and now I can do about 50 rpm. Of course, it's not about speed, I still try to peddle with my heel down.
After gym, I went to the video store and rented Knowing. I felt like a movie, but knew I might not have time to watch it. I bought some chips and then headed off to the shopping centre near me. I had two things in mind: 1) a leg sleeve because the one the hospital gave me is nearing four weeks old, and I don't want a smell attached to it; and 2) a tie I saw Barney Stinson wear which I KNOW I have seen in Myer before.
I went to Myer first and found a really really nice black tie with rectangular patterns. It was $40 and I figured I'd get that. The Barney Stinson tie was there but at $50. I wanted it, but not at $50. But when I paid, turns out that it had the 50% discount, so I only paid $20. I also asked if the $20 gif card I received could be used by someone else, and the girl said yes, so I saved it to give to my mother.
As I walked to Rebel, I wondered if the Barney Stinson tie also had 50% off. I didn't want to go back just in case the girl had made a mistake and my tie actually wasn't supposed to be 50% off. So I decided to go to the Myer in Bondy after checking out Rebel.
I was hungry and thirsty so I had a small Macca's meal before heading off. It was probably a very fuel inefficient way of going about my business, but eh, I had time.
I went to Bondy and checked out Myer. Indeed, they had the tie, and at $35!!! With the 50% discount it was $17.50. I was pretty happy with myself as I walked out. I just bought two very nice ties at 50% off. Wow.
I went to the Bondy gym as well to do my rehab. As I walked there I thought about how all this seemed like a full-time job. Rehab in the morning, rehab again at night.
As I did my exercises, I felt that my knee was a bit itchy. Sometimes it was like this, but today it seemed a lot itchier than usual. It made the pushing down easier to bear.
When I cycled, I watched as people boxed with the punching bag and their partners. It made me want to do it. Maybe I can get into boxing when I get better? Imagine that, I return as...a boxer.
I went home and gave the card to my mom, and then watched Knowing. Good movie, I reckon probably the last good movie Nicholas Cage made. Don't know why he's in that sorcerer one.
In terms of my knee, I think for bending I'm progressing as normal, but with straightening it, it's coming along very slowly. I'll just have to be patient. I'm already feeling a bounce in my step, only to be stopped by the pain at the wound area which holds me back.
I also thought about Naby today. Specifically, I thought about the 'chemistry' we had. In the back of my mind, I always knew it was fake, because I paid for it. But now that I've been with Hanna, maybe Naby and I did click in some way, shape or form? I can remember the laughs and giggles after sex. That wasn't there with Hanna, even though she was very easy to get along with. At the end of the day, it comes down to this: she's not Naby.
I can't believe I'm starting to miss her after all this time, a month after she's gone, whereas when she left I didn't really feel anything. But it makes me wonder: will I be able to be intimate with girls without having to think about Naby?
What if she's back now but has just lost my number?
