out sick, sort of

I am home "sick" today, that being the closest classification for "I strained my knee a few days ago, and this business of having to walk a couple of miles every day is not helping it heal, so I want to stay home." I am on chat (AIM, gmail, and LJ's Jabber), and may attempt some writing after lunch.

Don't worry about me: this isn't horrible, it's just that having improved massively from when it happened Saturday night through Sunday into Monday, it seems to have plateaued, and be taking a bit of a toll on the other knee. So, ice, NSAIDs, and minimal walking around. We live about a third of a mile from the subway; throw in walking from the north end here to the south end in midtown, and west-to-east, and if I'm very careful I can keep it to a mile and a half roundtrip.
