Saturday evening MJ and I spent a final meal together before my trip, breaking the fast following Yom Kippur. On Sunday we went to the Asian Art Museum<\/a> to visit the Cyrus Cylinder<\/a> and In The Moment<\/a> exhibits.<\/p>\n

The Cyrus Cylinder exhibit was small and busy, but the history geek in me loved it.<\/p>\n

Accompanying the cylinder, they also had other artifacts from the time period and region.<\/p>\n

I uploaded a few more photos from the exhibit here: http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pleia2\/sets\/72157635624257963\/<\/a><\/p>\n

We weren’t really familiar with the In The Moment<\/em> exhibit before getting to the museum, and I’m not super into Japanese art, but I do love animal art and this exhibit had a lot of it, so it was a pretty captivating.<\/p>\n

Sunday evening I was headed to the airport for my work trip to Seattle, where I am now. The weather has been beautiful most of the week and we’ve got a considerable amount of great work done here, which I’ll write about later. Unfortunately on Tuesday morning I was a bit sleepier than I should have been as I made the short walk to the office and missed a step coming out of the hotel, down I went! Scraped my knee and hurt my ankle, but I limped to the office, just a twisted ankle, I’m fine!<\/p>\n

Well, I wasn’t fine. Swelling, bruising and more pain followed that evening and Wednesday morning, at lunch on Wednesday I finally decided to see a doctor, which is how I ended up cabbing it to a U.S. HealthWorks<\/a> Urgent Care center.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I was pretty apprehensive about going to some random care center in a city I’m not familiar with selected based on acceptance of my insurance and proximity to the office, but I totally lucked out. The center was clean, staff was friendly and efficient and within an hour of arriving I had x-rays done and a diagnosis in hand. Nothing broken, just a bad sprain. They provided a simple brace to keep it stable and I’m to give it rest for a few days, take Advil and add a dose of ice and elevation as I can. So I’ve managed to hobble around this week and thanks to the Advil the pain has been kept to a dull roar. It’s getting better, I still can’t put all my weight on it but this evening the swelling was down and the visible bruising is fading.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is my last day at the office here and I have some work to get done in the morning. Tomorrow evening I fly home! Saturday I’ll be spending prepping for the OpenStack Workshop I’m hosting on Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
