Cabin fever

[denny]

Went out to get a burger last night, more for the 'out' than for the 'burger', and I'm sitting here now 24 hours later wanting to do something similar again.

I'm getting intensely bored of sitting here in the house on my own... chatting to people online can only supply so much of the interaction with people that I seem to want. This has taken me somewhat by surprise as my most likely complaint about my life before the accident probably would have been the fact that I had to deal with other people sometimes. I appear to be more of a herd/pack animal than I would have guessed.

Mind you, it might not be people that I'm missing so much as activity... the thought of just going up the shopping centre and dossing around window-shopping feels like it would calm me down a lot.

I'm starting to see why people get back on bikes or into cars before their doctor says it's okay... the loss of freedom I'm suffering from is only going to get more and more annoying as my health gets better and I'm still stuck here (don't worry, I'm not planning on breaking doctor's orders). I did see something intriguing when I was out last night though - one of those simulator pod things, running a motorbike race program. I think it might be interesting to have a go in that and see how I feel.

Hey, it might be worth a try. Is it a thing where you sit on a pretend bike, or just like a cinema chair where the whole thing rocks about? If it has a pretend bike it might be an idea to put a friend on it first just to see whether it will put any sideways force on the leg and how you could make it not.

Hmm...things to amuse Denny. I shall give that some thought. I should be able to conjure up a Plan and a person with a car with a friends list this size. What sort of thing other than riding do you miss most?

The simulator is a car-seat-ish thing. I also want to have a go on one of those race-bike games where you sit on a bike-shaped thing, I think that could be interesting as well.

*ObSmirk*

Actually to be honest I don't even know what I want to do really... I'm just fed up of laying here doing nothing.

Though it's had nothing to do with my health I've been somewhat trapped in this room for the last 2 months. Past couple of weeks have been better but much of the time I can't seem to remove myself from the house except to purchase alcohol.
Certainly the net doesn't provide the necessary human contact and my social skills have dropped from their usual impecably high levels to the point where I get impatient with even a moment of idiotic questioning.

Ho Hum, Break Free.

I'm off out to Celebrate my Wedding Aniversary :o(

Gah, damnit. I thought you might feel like this eventually. I wish I had some more time to spend with you, and that I was closer. I will spend some more time with you soon *hugs*

Take care :)
