That said, it's a great read.

I just finished it last night! And would like to discuss. I liked it, didn't love it. Partly because I didn't find the voice that distinctive or believable somehow. But I'm also afraid I spoiled myself by reading the author bio before the book, which set me against it from the start.

Ok, medical stuff is getting seriously high tech. When I had my shoulder surgery, I got a cooler with a thing that cycled the ice water through a shoulder cuff thing. It was pretty cool.

Today I was brought a compact machine that does the same thing but no cooler of ice water involved. I take a special 4x6 cold pad and it gets put in the cast with the nozzles sticking out. When I get home I hook up to the machine and it does 30/30 cycles of cold and rest. Plus it has a circulation sleeve for my other calf. Shoot even the crutches they brought me are fancy.

eta - reading the website about these crutches - Alex Wong used them in his recovery.

Living in the future, Suzi!

Yeah, I did, too. And it's all very ... very. I'll be done by the weekend, then we can discuss!

Where do we discuss Hannibal? Amazon Prime started offering it today, and I'm only 15 minutes in and already hopelessly in love with Will Graham.

I got the thingie with ice water. It's sitting in the closet, waiting for me to turn it into a cooler for the summer. I don't know what else to do with it.

Oo, thanks for the heads up!

My fingers consistently type "form" for "from". As they did just now.

Words that make me throw the book at the wall are misused their/they're/there, your/you're, and than/then. Today. Next week it may be some other printed transgression.

Cool tech, Suzi! May it speed recovery for you.

Connie, I've been reading along and sending good thoughts to you and Hubby and his caregivers. All best.

meara, did you share your tonsilitis? I think I have it, too.

We get this dry hummus mix at the co-op, and H mixes it up and adds stuff according to whim. I had a homemade tuna salad --horseradish, brown mustard, chopped egg, stuffed and black olives, chopped garlic dills, black pepper--half sammich on a single slice of multigrain, hummus and celery sticks for lunch. Nom.

Invoice processing got derailed. 2 invoices need POs to be put in for them, so I am doing one of those now. The other is not working correctly, so I have to get help on it.

work and post - so exciting.

I'm so sorry! I still had it this morning but feel better this afternoon. Hoping it's not a case of "I feel better because I took painkiller and it will wear off and I"ll feel worse again". :)

Why isn't it Thursday? Then I could go to the latke truck! Tonight is some sort Cajun-inspired or something? [link]

Tomorrow is the Filipino/Vietnamese truck. And Saturday is the biscuit truck!

I would like to go to all of those trucks.

I am very excited by the trucks! Not that there aren't others nearby (my favorite being the Indian fry-bread truck), but it's fun, and closer to my house than the others.
