Relative Something

I have figured out a way to get over the nagging injury that has been bothering my hand. During my Monday morning indoor soccer workout, I sprained my ankle. It was only a moderate sprain, but severe enough to demand immediate ice and anti-inflammatory doses. It has worked like magic. My hand pain has been hardly noticeable ever since.

I really hope my subconscious doesn’t take it upon itself to do something drastic to help me forget about the ankle pain…

I had one other distraction yesterday. Someone at work pointed out to me that there is a program currently running on the National Geographic Channel about searching for the abominable snowman in Nepal. Apparently, it includes scenes from places I had been while on my trek there in 2009. Her description had me totally fired up to watch it when I got home. Turns out, I don’t get the National Geographic Channel at home. I think we used to, but in the amazing logic of the cable company, they dropped some of our channels during one of the ongoing rate increases that somehow keep happening even though we purchased a discount package of programming that was supposed to be locked in for 3 years.

Believe it or not, they can get me to forget the channel they previously dropped from our package, by dropping one that’s even more popular.

Is this where I figure out that life isn’t always fair?
