Life Update

Pro: I can pick up my new laptop today!

Con: That is, I can if my car is out of the shop by then. lol sob

Crash injury update: I have such spectacular bruises on my inner thigh where I got caught by the harness strap that I am tempted to go full TMI and post pics under a cut once I have a laptop. Both kneecaps also black and blue. Next time I'm wearing kneepads though maybe next time I won't crash.

Next time wear kneepads so you won't crash.

[rachelmanija]

Haha, good idea.

Also, my husband says another thing they taught him (besides n–1) was, “Taking off is optional; landing is compulsory.”

[rachelmanija]

Haha.

Ask him if he crashed when he was learning.

The crash is from gliding or from automobile?! ... I need to check your past entries.

Rest up and feel better soon!

[rachelmanija]

Gliding. The car problems are just part of every mechanical or electronic thing I own breaking and requiring expensive repairs.

[asakiyume]

*phew*

Just saw your earlier entry, too.

Fingers crossed that things function for a while now.

I just finished spending a SECOND 30-minute call with technical support, ending in them saying they'd need to escalate to a senior software person and they'd get back to me within 48 hours.

I can only imagine that crashing is a huge part of the learning curve for this sport.

I will cross my fingers for speedy car repair!

[rachelmanija]

I mean, I definitely hope it's not just me!

[lucymonster]

Oof! Hope you feel better soon, and that the car and laptop work out.

And look, what’s the point of doing a dangerous sport if you can’t show off your injuries? In my experience, wearing knee pads will do wonders to prevent you from crashing. Next crash won’t happen until the day you accidentally leave the pads at home.

Yikes! I hope you have a speedy recovery!
