Back in the Saddle Again... Kinda

Today was officially the first day I have gotten back on my bike since the accident I had on Halloween. Lets just say my arm wasn't the only thing I scarred that day. I kinda of freaked out. I never thought I would be the least bit apprehensive about getting back on Mimi but I was. Every pothole and crack in the street looked as if disaster would be on the other end(i may have cried a little.). But with some tough love (too tough if you ask me) I made it the 3 miles to Kozy to get my tune up.

This coming form a girl who did 60 miles in 80 degree heat and 40 in a downpour on industrial streets... I felt kind of silly freaking out over 3 miles in mild weather. Hopefully i will have my confidence back sooner then later because I really enjoy riding my bike and I wanna put a ton of miles on it this summer! Wish me luck!

Trust is a complex thing. It is not automatic. It is not given lightly. It is easily dissolved. Is there ever really a method to madness? can you trust madness?

Good things about today

Well I haven't done a list in a while, so I decided to do a fun one.
Here are some good things about today:

1) fancy grilled cheese sandwiches
2) Chocolate covered Gummy bears
3) sun was out!
4) makeup looked good today
5)**secret**
6) work is almost over

Things of note....

So I am back on the sauce and by the sauce I mean Facebook... it is quite underwhelming. I kind of want to quit again as it is already making me paranoid, crazy and irritated... ( a mild exaggeration... ) I'll give it a day...

Amazing news!: Still haven't gone crawling back to facebook... full story at 9 (ish).

Scar tissue

I haven't blogged about my robot arm for a long time but I have been thinking about it. My elbow has been healing nicely and I have almost my full Range of motion back!! woot woot... the only way anyone can tell that I have been in an accident is the semi-doozie of a scar on my left elbow.

Before I got to this point in the healing process I would have freaked out if you told me I would have had a scar (a tad bit vain... in a healthy way I suppose), but now I am Glad the scar is there, it reminds me of that faithful Halloween afternoon that began the chain of events that changed my perspective about many things in my life.

My perfectly pink scar reminds that when ever I think I just simply cannot do something (like touch my face or flex my bicep or move my arm at all) that if I keep trying and push myself I can.
It reminds that I have a great guy who is willing to take care of me when I cannot take care of myself (even when I am a complete asshole).
It reminds me that my parents aren't allll bad.
It reminds me not to sweat the petty things and life and think about what really matters.

So when I look at my scar I don't feel bad about it at all I see a reminder and a lesson learned.

A small update on progress: I have not logged on buuuut I have thought about it. mostly I worry about people thinking I have blocked them... Oh well :/

Quick thought before bed: twitter might have to go. Context missing = me losing my mind... over annnnd out

The De-socialization of Miss Pierce

I, like many (many as in all 4 of you who actually read my blog) of you, have a Facebook, Myspace and/or twitter account. I often pondered stepping away and giving one or more of these sites up and just relaxing in peace. To be fair I haven't activley used myspace in well over a year or more . I have logged in every now and again out of curiosity but I have not actually done any networking per Se. Facebook on the other hand has turned in to a constant part my life. I log in on my phone at work and at home when I can and it has gotten out of control. I actually feel like I have Facebook beef with someone and this is when I stopped my self...

It is not real life ok...

While I do see this person in real life, there is no possible way she would dare say anything to me in person. No guts...

That all aside, I need to get back to real life where real action meets real consequence. It is easy to type something without thinking, but if you cannot say it or do it in real life... well all you are is a lump of flesh behind a keyboard and a mouse...
All my real friends and lovers know how to get in touch sooo I am saying farewell to facebook for a few weeks. and hello to real life. (twitter on the other hand... :) ) Now that i am making this public I am positive all my friends will keep me an honest woman.
If you wanna catch up come with me to yoga, get some coffee with me, or grab some lunch! Until then Farewell Facespace!
