All things considered, reading a good book would keep you occupied and not risk stressing any of your injuries. :)

diving skills.

That's on my list!

On a side note, I've stopped getting emails from Teh.  I haven't changed anything!

*Somehow they were getting marked as spam in GMail. I think I've fixed that.  Strange!

I subscribe to Audible.  I normally listen to 3-5 books at a time, not at the same time, just bounce between them.  I currently have about 10 to listen to.

I also listen to a lot of Podcasts.  But neither of these things really engages me.  I usually start listening to something and end up falling asleep.

Why do I need to work on my driving skills?

I have no idea. But your diving skills...

And apparently my reading skills...

I'm one for actually reading a book myself. Sometimes I also listen to a collection of nature sounds on CD while I'm reading. My favorites are the jungle and forest stream. Both have bird song and one has wind in the trees and the other a babbling stream. It's a great way to relax. :)

If I get anymore relaxed I'm not sure what I'll do!  My schedule is all swapped now because of not working.  I feel like I could sleep most days away and not care.  I'm trying to force myself to work on some projects but it gets pretty frustrating when everything I need is in my shop in the garage or I have to rely on someone else to bring me things.

I'd hate not being able to do things for myself. My health limits me to a certain extent as it is, but to not be able to get out or get something for myself would drive me bonkers.

Well, if you want to poke around and see if something helps you settle in, relax, and forget about your troubles for a little while, here is a link to my sound folder. They're mostly small stuff, but natural habitats, rain, and water have some good ones. Some of them are about an hour long. Those ones are really nice to listen to when I'm reading, or I just need to relax. They're nice for if I'm torqued off about something too.  :-P

Help yourself to any of them you like. :)

Sounds

Thanks!  I'll check them out!

You're welcome. :)

Fucking hell Ken! Get better soon. Always have a buddy around when using a ladder or do as I do. I bloody HATE ladders but like climbing tree's.

Thanks!

I went yesterday for my heel.  I don't have to have surgery, thank God!  They replaced the splint with a cast.  I still can't put any weight on it for at least another month, so no driving and still using the old man walker!

I never had any issues with heights or ladders or even climbing trees in the past.  I just wasn't paying attention this time and had the ladder at a strange angle.

I am having those horrible squirmy feelings just thinking about going up a ladder :|.

Get better soon mate.

You can't get hurt drinking beer and watching tv. Words to live by.

Good point.  But who will do my "Honey Do's"?

That's the beauty of it. After three beers, you don't even hear it.
