so the idea that some sort of full recuperation might be possible is not out of the question

YaY!! Also, enjoy the Idol connie.

Kid next door is described as a quad. He has very limited hand function, but his arms are fine. In tennis matches they tape the racket to his arm. He kicks ass on the court.

Also, mines are big enough to hold your Jonasan.

And I suspect my Jonasan is managing fine wherever it's currently located

but it might want to be held

On the mememe front, carpet, desks, and phones are going in new office today. This means I must deal with the stacks of junk that surround my desk. This is a seriously large task. [link]

Lilty, why are you going to hurl? When do you leave?

Nora/JZ, I think Sunday afternoon might be nice (of course, that's a little selfish of me, since I crash fairly early. I want as much JZ time as possible!).

Oh dear, Laura! Also, you file like me! Also the second, that chair is SO cool.

I go back to work today. I don't wanna.

I do love my chair, but I must get my butt off it and do something about moving to the new office. This room will be Bobby's bedroom when I clear it.

I fly out of Logan at 6:30 tonight!

I really hope I can make it for JZ goodness. All depends on the stoopid job. (Which ought to be interesting in itself. Apparently I'm leaving the country just in time to miss Judgement Day. People may not be there when I get back. If my boss gets canned, I'm trying to figure out if I'll have the balls/capability to walk.)

Love that chair. Also the picture on the monitor.

Maybe we could do a Friday night thing in Cambridge/Somerville?

That would be totally excellent. And I'm also up for Sunday stuff, or for a housewarming thang as you mentioned in the email that I actually thought I replied to and it turns out I didn't, because I am an ass. I know that after being in your house I would come back to Chez Zmayhem and weep with envy, but it would still be worth it.

I want as much JZ time as possible!

I want as much vw time as possible, so that works out nicely. Also Emily time, FAQ Wife time (I gather Jon will be away at theremin band camp), Theo time, Nutty time, DX time should a Friday thing happen and he be able to drive in for it, Cindy time, Frank time, and even time with the elusive and nearly mythical Ellen if possible.

And if there are any other Somervillains who have slipped my mind, I now feel like a great big dork.

I've already made plans to bogart ALL THE JEN THERE IS on Saturday. Ha ha!

eta: Lilty time would be wicked cool. And eeep! about your work. How unsettling, to be jetting about Europe not knowing who will be there when you return, and not knowing until you walk back in whether you'll want to return yourself.

Honestly, in a foolhardy, frivolous way, it's sort of liberating. If it comes to the worst, I will at least be living with my parents and not homeless while I look. I plan to ponder it further on an Alp somewhere.

I fly out of Logan at 6:30 tonight!

No hurling!

Jealous of the Sommervillian fun.

Since I had to take some before snaps before moving. This is my office in all its glory. The rest of my house is actually quite pretty, but let's just say the move to new roomier office space is long overdue. This is a public service. After viewing the photos you will no longer feel like slobs.

This is a wide view facing my desk. Photo of Brendon with Kristin and Hil on the monitor. Trudy, Debet, and ND are also in there. [link]

Brendon's side of the office isn't near as bad. In the new space we won't be sharing an office for the first time in 17 years. [link]

This is what hides behing my desk. The George Washington on the wall was a gift from my dad since I was born on George's day. [link]

It only gets worse when you look toward the printers, but you can see my dipolma and honor cords there too. Woo! [link]

The closet, also not real useful at the moment. I am looking forward to moving this weekend so very much! [link]

How I love the linky function!

edit to fix george pic

Hec - interesting baseball news this morning!!!
