First of all, I support the new era of Pubski spirits. Vive la révolution!

Second of all, the healing of my leg goes well! I'm at my parents' right now, and they've been taking good care of me. My leg hurts (obviously), but the swelling has gone down and the pain is (mostly) pretty manageable. I've got hardcore cabin-fever already, sitting in the same room all day. I've been moving around the house to deal with it, but nothing will feel as good as finally going outside without feeling pain or exerting a ton of effort.

Second-and-a-half of all, the doctor gave me a ton of hydrocodone. I'm trying to take it as sparingly as possible (and doing a good job), but it's an interesting coincidence with all the talk about the opioid epidemic and the Sackler family in the news. Not too worried about getting addicted, but it felt like a good segue into...

Third of all, I promised you all I'd give you updates on quitting nicotine! It's been about a month since quitting cold turkey (I really should've written the date down, it's in my Hubski history somewhere), and I haven't had any cravings recently. Maybe it's the pain in my leg, or how eventful everything has been? Either way, I feel pretty comfortable with it now. There's not really a finish-line to cross but...I think I quit smoking! Neat!
