By the numbers

• episodes of Horatio Hornblower I've watched so far: 0
  
• times I've eaten a tuna fish sandwich in the last two days: 4
• On a scale of one to ten, how hard it is to wrap an ace bandage around your foot, by yourself, while standing on one leg: 8
• The Cat Who . . . mysteries I've read in the last week: 3
• pain pills I took yesterday: 0 (is it because I don't have pain? Not necessarily. It's because I'm almost out and I'm too scared to call my doctor and ask for more because I think she'll think I'm addicted, even though I've only been taking between 1 and 3 a day for the past week)
• stitches I had taken out last Monday: 15
• times I've left the house in the past three weeks (not counting trips to the doctor's office): 5
• Of those times, how many involved bars? 4
  
• hours wasted idly surfing the internets per day: 4
• episodes of Big Valley I've watched in past week, after a lifetime of avoiding the show becuase I didn't know how oddly appealing Barbara Stanwyk's blue eye shadow could be: 2
