My home phone was specifically chosen to have a mute button.

I have to mute during conference calls because I can't resist typing, talking to people, etc while being bored to tears.

Good luck with the surgery, Suzi. Working arms are a good thing.

Not cool on sending the wrong contacts. Working eyes also a good thing.

Amy, what a PITA.

I am being productive, but it's making me more depressed. Stupid budgeting.

I do have my glasses, it's just that they're old and the prescription is way off. I don't love driving in them anymore.

In better news, Thursday's Big Bang just made me laugh so hard I woke up the cat.

"Conscience do cost."

Did your doctor's office send the wrong prescription? Somehow it doesn't seem fair that you're out an extra $15 for proper eyes.

My engaged cousin has got me thinking about a new dress, except I have no idea what will be appropriate to wear to her wedding whenever she has it, and I've also gotten really attached to the idea of an outfit that I haven't actually seen anywhere. I want a dark red strapless dress, basically a sheath, knee length, with a sheer black cap sleeved blouse with black satin ribbon trim over it. If the dress was boned, that would be even better. You know, than the already non-existent dress in my head.

Dupioni silk would work. What's that website where you organise bits of an outfit together? Polyvore? Hmm. Maybe I'll use that as a working site.

I really need to see an eye doc and get my prescription updated. That will have to wait for post-surgery.

My co-pay for outpatient is only $50 (this is after a few years of having a crazy high deductible then having to pay 20%, $50 seems pretty small).

Happy birthday Laura!

In personal news, my cat Burrell is at the vet today after urping up bile yesterday. Prelim tests came back with very elevated liver enzymes and elevated white blood cells. But she's still eating well. I'm hoping whatever it is, she can be made a bit more comfortable.

Dupioni silk would work.

Talk to amych! She made her corset out of dupioni silk.

Emmett's first baseball game is today. I hope he's got some energy left - they've been working them pretty hard at their training facility (it's called...the Bladium!)

Suzi, I am glad they're scheduling surgery for you even though I know outpatient can still be scary. I think you'll feel LOTS better after the surgery!!

Suzi,

have you had surgery before on a limb? The only thing I would like to say is make sure you do your exercises. They are very important. You don't seem to be the type to slack off on those, but do them as prescribed (and really not more often unless approved).
