I'm glad things are improving, Frankenbuddha.

Good thoughts for your brother, Frank.

I have a really long to-do list today, but all I really want to do is cuddle on my futon and watch Festivids.

Seriously. All my mad cleaning energy from yesterday is gone.

WFH day two. Well, at least I'll be here to accept delivery of my Zappos order.

A friend had knee surgery last week and he is walking great. I would not have known he had surgery if he hadn't told me.

Meanwhile, I won't get to use my foot for a few weeks after surgery. Boooo.

I got a call from a place that is bringing over a "cold therapy machine" for my recovery. I thought I was getting a cast after surgery but maybe not. Will be interested to see what this turns out to be.

Tomorrow evening is Mama Mia with a friend. Can tomorrow be now?

My current dilemma: meeting ended early, so do I make lunch now when I'm not super hungry, or wait until my next meeting ends at 1pm when I undoubtedly shall be hangry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can you do it halfsies? If I have a noon meeting, I'll eat half my lunch before and half after, if I have the chance.

I do enjoy my grandboss. I was just in talking to my boss, and he came in to say something to her officemate, shut the door, and opened with "Holy fuck, what was that??" Hee.

This everyone-shares-an-office thing is so weird, though. We close the door for confidential conversations, but there are often still unrelated people in the room!

SuziQ, you may have all my foot-ma, since I've been cleared to wear regular shoes. Hope it works as well for you as it did for me.

Wooooo-hooooo Theo!!! Regular shoes must be so nice. I look at my shoes and sigh.

I had a knock on my door and thought it was the person with the cold therapy machine (and with this weather, why - I could just stick my foot in the snow) but it was three people here to measure just about everything in my apartment. Since they are renovating my apartment after I move out, they wanted to measure the counters, cabinets, and window blinds since those will be part of the renovation. I was only embarassed about letting them into CJ's room. Luckily the rest of the house is in clean chaos mode.

More snow and ice hit Birmingham than expected. My nephews are stuck at school because the buses can't run, SIL is on the side of the road (not sure if she was trying to get them or out for a site visit) and my brother is stuck downtown at work. Clusterfuck.
