I must confess I am very tired of waiting for my leg to improve. While the leg is getting somewhat better, the blasted spatial frame keeping my tibia aligned makes it hard to relax. I am often worried about how it should be placed versus what would be a comfortable position for the time being as well as how long a given position will be comfortable. Sleep is not easy to come by and the quality of it is oft times poor. I had hoped that the Christmas holidays would a chance to truly relax but alas, it didn't turn out so.
I had rented a car from my usual rental place. Despite having reserved an economy car, I was first offered a Jeep Cherokee. I settled for a Chrysler 300. This model is no longer in production, but diligent research (i.e. checking on Wikipedia) revealed that it was considered a full-sized rear-wheel drive car. This puts it in the very small number of rear wheel drive cars I have driven.
I drove out to North Hatley on an appropriate day that I could enjoy the homemade eggnog at Lebaron's store. What is more, my visit coincided with that of the owner's family. This was probably a bit of additional stress for Elliott as his kids have an assortment of food allergies. Most notably that of his middle son, Orran, who has milk and possibly egg allergies. However, Elliott had several clementines lined up and fed them to his eager son. Clever parenting, that.
Unfortunately, I found it hard to relax at my Parents' house. I'm not going to into any details besides saying egos clashed. I ended up spending a lot of time in bed, either sleeping or wishing I was sleeping. However, I was still somewhat mentally exhausted by the time I returned to Montreal.
