survey: being "grown-up"

My friends Laura and Peter. Both are (incredibly talented) freelance
illustrators, writers, and graphic designers.


It's fun to run in the rain. I think that part of the fun is a secret delight in doing something that was strictly forbidden in childhood. I can stomp through as many puddles as I like, stay out in the cold and wet without boots or a proper raincoat.

SURVEY: In your opinion, what are the other secret delights in being "grown-up"? Feel free to answer in your own journal rather than the message board, but please post a link so people can find it.

My tendinitis continues to improve. ( A note about the spelling of tendinitis: ViaVoice the spells the word with an "i" (i.e. instead of "tendOnitis"), but apparently it can be spelled either way. ) During my physiotherapy session this morning, Nick The Physiotherapist told me that I could cut the number of weekly sessions from 3 to 2 from now on, plus my left arm no longer needs ultrasound treatments.

I asked Nick about playing the flute, and he advised that I give it a shot, at first only for short durations, stopping if I experience any pain. I'm going to try it for the first time this weekend; wish me luck! I haven't played any musical instruments for over three months now, and am really missing the experience. I suspect that my harp playing may have to wait the longest. I'm also going to test out whether or not I can draw a bit with my Wacom tablet.

Enjoyed dinner with Allison and Jodi last night in North York. Despite the physical distance between the three of us now, it's great that we still manage to get together on a semi-regular basis. Only a month until Concertino, in Massachusetts! We're all really looking forward to this convention, which will be the only out-of-town convention that all three of us will be able to attend this year.
