7Days.4 - Arrrgh.
Something I did yesterday tweaked my back. Maybe carrying Cy (who is a nice, heavy steel hybrid, not aluminum) up the stairs, maybe the bad angle at which I lifted him to spin his wheels a little while I was wiping him down, maybe I did it when I was filling his tires. I truly hope it was one of those and NOT the actual riding of the bike that did it. So today, instead of having a nice bike ride, I stayed in, turned on the heating pad, and threw painkillers at myself. It's late afternoon, and that seems to have done the trick; it's too late to enjoy a ride now, though, because of those swarms of no-see-ums. I hate picking those little f*ckers out of my teeth.
Anyway, this is still a picture of progress! During the Fall 2009 run of 7 Days, I tried to sprawl on the floor like this with my yarn and ended up in a LOT of pain. This time around, the offending ovarian cyst is absent, and I was able to pop right back up. Tomorrow, the back and I will try taking Cy out.

7Days.3 - Cy got to go outside today!
I took him out, wiped him down, shined him up, and performed ALL KINDS of prepositional phrases on him. Then I hit the road and after 10 minutes started sweating, carrying a goodly amount of sunblock into my eyes and making me turn around and come home. Oh, well. It's a start.

No one can say I'm not prepared.
This is how tough I look when there's no sunblock in my eyes. On a side note, I would just like to reiterate my million-dollar invention idea for the benefit of those who don't follow me on Twitter or Facebook: Someone needs to invent sunblock in pill form.

7Days.2 - Hot.
Today was actually hot, so this is what I look like when I'm standing in heat. Note the lack of smile/will to carry on. Normally when it's hot out, I stay in the nice, cool basement apartment; however, you guys have seen way too much of that, and I had a good excuse to head over to Jenn's today. This was taken on her porch.

7Days.1 - Hey Packet, guess what time it is again!
[Packet]: Aw, crap. Already?
Today was one of those 7 Days days where I left the house, thought about taking a picture at the store, decided I'd do it later, got home, thought about taking a picture, decided I'd do it later, and repeated this process until 11pm, when I thought, 'OMG, it's 7 Days today!'

WTF is he wearing, June 2
The tie was sent to him by a fan in Nunavut, and shows an igloo under the Northern Lights. I guess the rainbow plaid is supposed to carry the colors of the Northern Lights.

Showing off a skate protector. Between taking this picture and uploading it, I'd forgotten what that was and thought he'd somehow created a wormhole or something with his hands.

Sunlight! Run!
Having to take pills every four hours means that I'm up during hours I'm not normally up. I walked out of my room this morning, and THE SUN TRIED TO KILL ME BY STABBING ME IN THE EYES.

Again, from the WTF is he wearing files.
I'm not even exaggerating a little bit when I say that Don looked like a Telus ad this week.

52 Weeks, Week 19 - Coolest TV setup ever
I could move the TV around and even plug my headphones into it. There's a captioning button that works!

7 days, day 5 - out of focus
Today I went to the doctor and found out that I have an ovarian cyst that's 11cm x 8cm. 11cm is just over 4 inches. So this cyst is hanging onto my ovary (my doctor has a French accent, she calls it a 'hovary') and squishing other things around. The only way to find out if it's a bad cyst or a benign cyst is surgery with a 3-day hospital stay. Since it's rather large, she's removing that whole ovary. One's enough anyhow, and since I don't plan on using it for pregnancy purposes, she's also agreed to tie the tube on the other side. Silver lining, I guess.
This picture sums up how I feel today, camera strap and blurriness included. I know the theme for Day 5 is dinner. Darren is cooking dinner as I upload this photo. That's about as close as I can get.

Can I just tell you how much I adore a cat that headbutts? Because I will. For hours, if you don't stop me.

7 Days, day 2 - Style
It's the braids. That's my hairstyle today. Or it could be how the redheads are hanging out together, because that's our style. I'm rather fashion-impaired, so I wasn't about to show off my wardrobe style.

7 Days, day 1
My back's all hurty, and it was colder out today, so I just stayed in and didn't do anything creative for the first day like I'd wanted to. None of the self-portraits I took were entirely in focus, either, so I just picked the cutest one of Packet and played with it. Check out her psychedelic right eye and her lips. They crack me up :)

Mammogram day (take 2)
I got a callback because Righty wasn't smiling or something for last week's mammogram, which meant that I had to remove the rings and put them back in again. Nobody tried to walk in on me this time.

52 weeks, week 17 - NEW WATER BOTTLE
This one has a straw and it sips and it has grippy parts around the middle and the cap, and the lid has a swoopy thing that I can carry with one finger, and it's pink so I won't lose it. Also, the straw part has a tab so if my hands aren't entirely clean, I can open and close it with my thumb.
