Wii Fit yoga less than a week after abdominal surgery?

STUPID. STUPID. STUPID. *headdesk*

I blame the narcotics.

My brain (clearly still on drugs): But it's yoga! No strength-exercises, no jackknifes, no pushups, no aerobic jumping around, it'll be fine!

Me: Er.

My brain (yep, still on drugs): Besides, you KNOW the thing is going to nag you even more if you go another day without doing anything with it.

Me: ...dammit.

*much fail later*

Learn from my stupidity, young grasshoppers. *hobbling toward the hydrocodone bottle*

must try to catch up with comments later? Crazy week, writing deadline, & two Christmas parties in different cities coming up this weekend, followed by I suspect a loooot of crash and burn sleep...

yep, I'm alive! Woot! I've been asleep for most of the past 24 hours and drugged to the gills the rest of the time (you don't want to know how long it's taken me to type this without typos, srsly, even my FINGERS feel drugged).

Thank you a ton for all the 'hey you better stay alive'-type comments! (echoed by my cat, who keeps walking over to sniff my face and make sure I haven't become dinner yet.) I'm going to try to be coherent enough to reply later?

The docs ended up doing more than they'd originally planned, so I'm not sure how long I'm going to need to stay on the drugs, but 'alive and fumbling toward coherent' is always good in my book. :)

So this totally has not been my decade.

Fortunately, Mom's done with her surgeries and half through her treatments. Less fortunately, it's my turn to go in for surgery tomorrow, investigating things to figure out exactly how many more surgeries I'm going to need.

Title: The Grey Agency - Waking Up
Author: Icka! M. Chif
Word Count: 3,453
Author's Notes: After an incident involving kittens, pee and under a table, I offered Obachan her choice of fics to see posted next. TGA was her choice. And then Kaito took the plot in random directions...
Summary: The thing that bothered Kaito the most when he woke up was the silence.

Okay, if you are not familiar with Tanabata, I HIGHLY suggest that you familiarise yourself with the festival traditions and history now because it plays a large part in this story.
