Sinister: Living the songs

To continue in the tradition of living the Belle and Sebastian songs, I faked
a limp for the week, as per "PocketBook Angel". After a week of recovery from
the dear parting of my appendix, I had to return to my temp office job on
Monday. Although most of the employees and I usually ignore each other, that
day everyone wanted to talk to me about the surgery. However, on Tuesday I
had lost the post-op appeal. In an attempt to become popular again I faked a
slight limp; well, I _did_ still have a pain in my side from an incision.
However, I forgot which leg to put my weight on and started to put it on both.
The result was a walk that resembled a drunken stumble. This did not win me
any more sought-after sympathy. Now my co-workers and I have fallen back into
the much more comfortable socializing of murmuring hello as we pass in the
halls. One of my cats has a limp; I am studying her movements now. So,
instead of a drunken stupor-walk, I will be successfully limping soon. . . on
all fours though.
Often I am jealous of the cats when they lay in a pool of sunshine that
steals in through the windows.
Living and loving
Matthew
