Relax - It's Just the Holidays

Seriously. What should be the happiest season of the year turns into the most stressful time of year as we overcomplicate things.




















Well there's something to be said by complicating the holidays w/ a knee surgery. What I genuinely believed would be a hinderence is turning out to be like a vacation at home. I've spent the last three days sitting on my ass w/ Vicodin and Oxycodone. And even though I'm on a vacation to the couch via lethargia, I'm getting all kinds of work done and not getting worked up in the process.

Now I'm not much of a social creature in this condition, but things are going by just slow enough to digest while not getting too excited to use my new lower limb.

Then there's the stress of my concern about the long-term effects of my knee injury. A lot more than just skiing rides on my knee. My career and health ride on it too. I've been so sedated w/ these pain meds I can't even begin to digest how dangerous this all is to my career. One bad knee can sink everything.

On that note - things are still looking good. I've managed to stay afloat w/ my work at Hayter PR and even expanding to new clients like Evolve Chile and a couple others left unnamed. The Navy is coming along as well as I've been offered an AT in Cambodia for two weeks this summer.

Heli skiing in Washington, skiing in Whistler, one week in Tahoe, two weeks in New York and Vermont (w/skiing), two weeks + in Chile and two weeks in Cambodia - suffice to say 2010 is shaping up quite nicely.

Cambodia? That's awesome! I hope you bring back a souvenir for me, I'll pay for it even :) And I'm sorry about your knee...wish we had more of a chance to talk today, but it was so crowded and loud. Bakery and Soon!
