Because books.

Erin, I know jackshit about resumes, unfortunately. How are you feeling, though?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hey, Amy. Actually, I've felt pretty crappy for the last couple of days. I went to graduation, and then a post-grad staff get-together, and then a baby shower on Sat., and I wore heels and tights for the first time...and I spent the last two days in bed.

It sucked. And my stomach is still really sore, and I keep thinking I'm gonna lift a trash bag or something and it'll be 11 pounds not 10, and a giant hernia will pop out of my incision, screeching, and flailing its little insectoid legs like in Alien.

Besides that, kinda ok.

Oh, sweetie. Surgery takes a while to recover from, and you had a very bust couple of days. Sending you all kinds of job~ma, by the way. Any school would be lucky to have you! Now we just want to find an awesome school that pays well and treats you like a queen.

I keep thinking I'm gonna lift a trash bag or something and it'll be 11 pounds not 10, and a giant hernia will pop out of my incision, screeching, and flailing its little insectoid legs like in Alien.

Well ... let's hope that doesn't happen, yes?

I've decided to leave my typo in, even though I'm now tempted to change it to "busty".

I'm sure I'd be exactly the same way.

I'm going to try not to worry about my sudden run of bad luck w/ stairs, though...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

the Sesame Street porn in the last Yuletide was hilarious, I thought. Hifuckinglarious.

My Sweet Crazy Ex could do all the Muppet and Sesame Street voices and would tell me dirty muppet stories when I was blue. I would laugh until I was in pain.

I know I need to be patient...it's just that I healed so quickly in the first week and and half, and I thought "This is CAKE" and then I've been at the same level of healing (which is the "Ouch, that motherfucker still HURTS" level) for the last 2 weeks and it's...frustrating.

Susan, I'll trade you the falling-down fear for the Alien-hernia fear. I'm good at falling!

Here's hoping the universe hears your job wish, Amy, cause I am hating this uncertainty.

If you fell down them yesterday, then your ankle/body is probably still in recovery mode from the minor strain, so tripping on them again is not a big deal at all. Also, you're probably weirdly hyperaware of the stairs now, and I find that always screws me up. (Like, when I still drove manual, if I didn't think about it, I never had problems with rollback on hills, but the MOMENT I thought about it, BOOM, problems and stalled cars. It's a thing.)

Between this and Annabel rolling down them Saturday night, I totally am! Our stairs are out to get us!

I'm getting the pig!

Erin, lots of recovery~ma to you! Did your doctors say that a stall in recovery is normal for your sitation? I had surgery on Friday and the only thing that they really stressed was that if I smoked, it would drastically slow my recovery.

Susan, what Plei said sounds about right to me.

No one told me that! OTOH, it wouldn't have mattered.

Ah, well, I go to the dr. tomorrow, anyway. I may ask her for a teeny emergency supply of painkillers, since I have about 20 weddings/showers/etc.
