my poor knee
Last weekend, while walking home from work, I took a nasty turn on a dodgy sidewalk and twisted my knee.
Ouch… is what I said and then promptly forgot all about it.
Until I was leaving the NYLON office on Wednesday (after an 11-hour day) and realised that something wasn’t right, made all the more obvious by the fact that I couldn’t take more than one step without wincing.
Oh fudge.
By the next day, it had gotten to the point where I was in tears at the bus stop and cancelling my Thursday night plans. A busted knee meant no Butter for me!
It felt like my left shin was trying to unscrew itself from my knee and someone had tried to stop this by putting a clamp on it so whenever I tried to walk, it put so much pressure on it that I thought the kneecap would pop right off. Not the nicest of sensations. Stairs became my Everest and walking to Grand Central from Times Square took 20 minutes. (If anyone saw a limping girl on 42nd St in the early hours of Saturday morning – hello, that was me!)
“I could tell you you look sexy walking like that but you would know I was lying,” said Kobi, watching me try to hobble back from the bathroom on Friday night.
Today is Sunday and I feel better. It still hurts but at least I can kinda walk now. Can’t handle stairs though. Lord, no. But I’m hoping to make it to Butter this week.

solitary confinement
The evenings I arrive home from work to discover my old-enough-to-know-better roommate has taken over the living room with takeout, the news and Farmville are the evenings that remind me why I need to live alone. Especially when she starts talking nonsense about stuff I have no interest in, like market research phonecalls and Loehmann’s.
SHUT THE FUDGE UP ALREADY.
When I get home from work, I do not want to talk. I do not want to discuss the weather. I do not want to bitch about our neighbours. All I want to do is eat my dinner in peace and quiet, watch some telly and go to sleep. That’s all. Nothing more, nothing less. Is it too much to ask?

Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn’t fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it’s comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.
