So, I consider myself to be a foodie.. but I just like eating. There's a new restaurant reviews site out that I've grown addicted to. Urbanspoon. I have a profile on there where I've been posting a ton of reviews to places I've eaten, and if you wanted to.. you could sign up and be my friend.
You can either click the link below, or type it into your browser to set up and account, be my friend on there, and read my reviews.

Well, this is an all-good broadcast. Things are, for a lack of a better phrase, all good. The broken leg has been cast free for a few weeks now. The leg that formerly held captive a piece of concrete is healing nicely, and I’ll do you all a favor by omitting a picture. Just trust me.
Work has kept me far beyond busy, considering what we’re all going through here in the office for the next three weeks or so… and what we did for the previous three weeks. The upcoming weeks will be easier with me being more mobile than previous three.
I still haven’t picked my bike back up, but first things first, right? We have to crawl before we can walk over to a dangerous murderous devil-cycle (tongue planted firmly in cheek here). I actually think I’ll have a good friend of the family ride it to the house for me, and then I can spend more of my time practicing. While the ride from Cox’s to the house is pretty simple, consider my nerves to still be somewhat shaken. Fear is a great self-control mechanism, but it doesn’t feel good to rely on it.
Life has been somewhat busy too. My classes are in full swing, and I’m remembering how much time you have to dedicate to become a successful student. I’m enjoying the courses I’m in as well, so I’m sure that helps with actually doing pretty well in them. I was able to get back into the kitchen as well. Being on crutches or in a cast isn’t very conducive to standing in the kitchen… and having a small kitchen doesn’t allow one to sit to do much either. Just the same, I dove into a full-fledged meal Sunday night. We had apples and white onion roasted with honey and apple cider vinegar, rosemary-thyme-salt-black pepper crusted pork chops, and oven roasted seasoned (salt, pepper, cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder) sweet potato home fries. It was a successful evening in the kitchen. I’ll have to get back in the swing of uploading pictures for you all as well. A text-only blog can be boring.

numbered news
alright, so update.
The current state of affairs:
1. When I fell on the steps, a piece of the concrete the held the slate together decided to hang around in my leg. I had my leg cut up a bit this past Friday night to have the leftovers removed. Yeah, I didn't know why it was taking so long to heal. There was the reason.
2. The bike is finished being repaired. That makes me happy.
3. Today is the last day of Levaquin. Not a moment to soon as I'm feeling increasingly washed out and broken.
4. I didn't have an e.coli infection, but there were two different infections. Eschericia Hermannii was one and Leclercia Adecarboxylata was the other. The first is pretty regular, the second has seen as few as 10 cases in the last 15 years. Boy, do I feel special.
5. The cast comes off in one week, and...
6. This semester is going swimmingly. I'm actually enjoying the classes I'm taking online from ECU. It made "talk like a pirate" day that much more fun, sadly, no one was around to hear me talking like a pirate. C'est la vie, right?

the longest month...
I’m a month and 2 days on crutches… as thankful as I am to be in the situation that I am, this is starting to suck. I have until at least the 30th to remain on said crutches. I took a tumble a week after the crash due to living on a hill, and I fell up some stone steps in my back yard. That put a nice gash in my right shin that called for some heavy duty (Cipro and Bactrim) antibiotics. I was on both for 10 days… twice a day… plus a topical antibiotic ointment (mupirocin) that I apply to the cut twice a day for 21 days. I went back to the urgent care last Friday because the gash didn’t look that much better, and am back on cipro for another ten days or so.
It’s kinda funny. Cipro with Bactrim isn’t that bad. I’ve dealt with it and noticed no side effects. By itself, Cipro is a bear of a antibiotic to take. It almost feels like my stomach lining is peeling away from inside.
…fun times. Apparently, Cipro works by causing your body to stop producing certain proteins that the bacteria likes to feed on. Scary. I’m taking something that halts my body from working.
Remind me to never, ever, for any reason, fall.. ever again.

Just the same, I discovered that our 1st anniversary weekend is the same as Beaufort's 300th Birthday. We'll be there for both the anniversary and birthday celebrations.
good times, good food, good wine, good company is coming soon...
