I just finished a book called, "Unbroken." Brutal. Moving. Beautiful. It took me three days to finish. You should read it if you get a chance.

Largely due to "Unbroken," I've recognized my own self-pitying attitude. I see that I've been someone selfish and neglecting of others. I'm worrying less about getting back to walking immediately. I'm resting (the book also helped keep me in bed!). I'm calling friends to see how they are doing. It's a good shift.

We have great friends, Kyle and Joanna. They are the only couple we go out with, and they are awesome. We recently went with them to the House of Blues to see The Decemberists. I've really been enjoying their new album, and hearing some of the songs performed live added a personal connection to them. One song I already loved has become, perhaps, my favorite song right now (rivaled only by "Helplessness Blues" off the Fleet Foxes new album): "January Hymn." Again, if you get a chance, you should check it out.

Finally, as my independence has shifted to dependence, my schedule has changed to become more like my wife's. Since I can't rise and walk the dog like I normally do, I sleep in later. Therefore, I end up staying up later at night. I wait on people to give me rides to and from school. I adjust what I do to what other people are doing. It's a weird feeling.
