Hiatus Hates Us!

So, my attempt at a vacation ended here, with me in bed sitting upright trying to type with one hand since the other is confined to the cotton equivalent of a convent. Yup, it's in a sling. Actually, the trip back to New York was effing amazing, had such a killer time just zipping around with my friend Robyn; who's from Queens. We've been meaning to take this vacation for over a year. Either it was bad timing, I had some sort of mass emergency (see dog having 4,000.00 dollar joint surgery), or we just couldn't get out of our obligations without ripples of never ending repercussions. Much fun was had stoking out on awesome boutiques and hole in the wall stores stuffed with vintage and a bunch of other weird shit. Gimme a city with a surplus store in a 6 story walk up and I'm perfectly at home.
However...
my health waits for no one and gives no warning, of course. So I'm in a sling because my GOOD arm, the left one, dislocated in my sleep. So the right arm has had two surgeries already and now they want to do surgery on the left (if and when it doesn't respond to PT and continues to be unstable, which it will, duh) AND a revision surgery on the right.
The good news though, is that now I'm on bed rest and such (no it's not just for the shoulder) I can write and update to my heart's content, and list new records and clothes in the shop! I'm in the process of thinking over doing just a straight up friends and family kind of boutique online...you know, membership, etc. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Here are some shots from the New York trip. I'll post some more later today or tomorrow along with some really cool x-ray copies the orthopedic surgeon gave me. Oh, and anyone have any extra ice packs? Maybe some spare time to play cards with? Hahahahaha...
