We'd be so less fragile if we're made from metal, our hearts from iron and our minds from steel...

So the other day I went to the Renn Faire with Jae and Pat and Caroline (and Tim). I was wobbly, so Jae asked Tammy for one of her canes to take with me.

Today I went looking at houses with thatrainbow and the realtor, and all I had to lean on was Beka from time to time. (We own a cane already. I was just dumb and put it in storage with all our other stuff when we were packing up.)

I did not realize until now just how much the cane would help in terms of being able to stay on my feet for more than a couple minutes at a time, and not being totally exhausted and miserable by the time I get home. I think I am going to have to start using a cane regularly when I leave the house in the future. And as a bonus, I will always have something to whack people with when necessary. :D

Never underestimate the value of having a weapon close at hand at all times.

*cackle* I used my crutches for that many times over the months after I hurt my knee.

Yes! I cannot express how much this thought pleases me. ^^
