Betty sightings, injury, time with Harry.

Well, I had a few Betty sightings since my last entry. I saw her Wednesday in the break room during my lunch. She saw me and said, "Hey, David" and I responded with, "Hey, [Betty]." On Friday, I saw her in the stairwell as she was leaving for the week. We talked briefly, parting as she wished me a good weekend.

On Saturday, I injured myself running to the bank. I took longer than I should have getting out of bed and ready in the morning. I was concerned that Harry would call soon to relay our weekend activity (a movie or time at his place), so I was hurrying after I left the townhouse. It has been raining recently, and I slipped on some wet grass or mud after crossing the street. I went down on my left knee and hand, scraping both on the sidewalk and ripping a hole in the left knee of my jeans. My left knee was bloody and red, so I limped home. After I did my best to wash my wounds, I put some band-aids and paper towels over my knee scrape. I used the gauze tape I had left over from my abscess surgery back in June to tape the paper towels in place.

As it turned out, Harry called me after I had patched myself up to let me know we would be getting together in the afternoon instead of in the morning. I was relieved to hear this, feeling reluctant to go out of the townhouse with my knee still tender and bleeding. While I recuperated, I did the laundry and some reading. Harry called me in the afternoon (as he had said he would), and we went out to an early dinner at Hector's (a Mexican food restaurant) with Liz and her sister. We ran some errands, then went to his place. I got to see (and help walk) his new puppy, Thor. Later, we (Harry and I) played "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance."

Today, I did the usual Sunday stuff. I finished reading "Voyage of the Dawn Treader." Now, I plan to play more of my PS2 "X-Men Legends II" game....
