Amsterdam!

[melle_chantilly]

I'm in Amsterdam you guys! I wasn't sure I was going to make it but here I am. Long story short I had to run an errand on Wednesday and it was a bad, bad idea and my thigh was hurting worse than ever in the evening. I thought it would be better in the morning but it wasn't. So I pondered cancelling my trip because at that point I can barely walk more than 15 minutes without hurting like hell (in addition to not being able to knit, sew, paint, work on dolls, write, exercise, file papers or do anything with my hands because of my shoulders). A crutch is not an option, obviously.

But I really wanted to see my friends. And I was afraid Clémentine wouldn't go on her own if I cancelled (our tickets are non refundable). And it wouldn't be the first time I went to Mirja and Xander's place to be a couch potato.

So we went! Yesterday's trip was actually not awful on my leg (or at all). My leg not better, but it's not worse (which is my main concern, walking on a quad tendonitis is not a great idea, although I CAN'T stay on my ass all day -and the doc agreed- because of my back). Today I'm going to stay in and rest. Tonight we're going to the Dominatrix Meet & Greet (which I'm half looking forward to, half dreading) and I should see model and photographer friends from the fetish scene I haven't seen from ages (and also, er, non-friends people, which might be... interesting). It shouldn't be too taxing on my leg since we're getting a lift to and from the venue and I can stand alright, it's walking that is an issue really. I really don't want to make it worse so I'm going to be very careful.

We had a lovely meal last night and chatted all together and caught up on life things. We shared a few Sadaharu macarons and petted Yoshi the cat. Since Mirja was working in the living room late at night, they left Clémentine and I their bedroom and the two of us went to bed around half past midnight. I'm the first up (apart from Xander who's gone to work now), listening to music in the living room and having tea. :)

No music recap but Haujobb helped I felt hurt and distressed so, there, have a video of Dejan and Daniel fixing a car. :D
