I still haven't heard back from my advisor. And he still hasn't submitted my letter of recommendation. I don't know if he'll be in tomorrow, but I know that he's teaching a class Thursday, so if I haven't heard from him by then, I'll go wait outside the classroom when the class is ending.
Also, I realized today, after I made a bunch of diagrams for a talk I'm giving, that I'd only saved them as PDFs, and there were a few things I wanted to edit. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to start over again. The ones I have are good enough, but I can see some obvious ways to make them better.
Hil, you probably know some people who can edit PDFs, depending on the type of edits necessary.
It's graphics stuff. There's a title that I put at the bottom of the image that I now think would look better at the top, and some lines that I want to make thicker, because I realized that just making some lines black and some lines green wasn't enough to easily tell them apart -- it would be much easier to see which lines were which if the green ones were also thicker.
All my officemates think that I'm "really hardcore" because I only got local anesthesia for my wisdom tooth extraction instead of general. Is that really that uncommon?
I had all four out at once with local, so, no.
local and gas for my molars removed (I still have my wisdom teeth).
Hello, just a quick post composed over in Word andforgive the thyping,
I’m pretty happy with the ~ma I received last week. I had a car accident and am largely ok.
My van got rear-ended on Friday afternoon. I had my bell rung but good cause I saw stars for awhile. Fortunately everybody walked away from the accident. Or at least technically we did, because I got to go to Emergency on a backboard and get x-rayed because apparently I told the paramedics I didn’t know if I’d hit my head. Turns out not, just a cervical sprain and no broken bones, yay no paralysis!
So now my car is at a body shop awaiting estimate and insurance company input; the pain meds hurt my stomach, my head hurst, my shoulder wakes me up crying ten times a night, I am walking around in a daze trying to do thinkgs like get the bills paid, talk to the insurance company and the police department, and keep everyone fed. My chiropractor assures me the confustion, headaches etc., will disappiate when nmy atlas is properly adjusted. I’d qualify for disability if I weren’;t a housewife.
Plus this is the week DH’s vehicle has really decided it is time to die. It let us know it was thinking about collapsing on us just after the Cash for Clunkers program ended, so clearly it waited for a moment of maximum inconvenience to strike its final blow against us. How rude. Doesn’t it know that we suburbanites cannot exist without automotive transportation?
Therefore I have decided to spend the rest of the day taking naps instead of making up holiday packages, and ignorning the fact that somebody will have to do wsometinbg about the pickup. I wll also pretend I don’t know angthing about dinner or bills and that I have a mom service coming over later to take care of everyting for me.
Hopefully my typing skilss will improve before too long. I did fix a lot of the errors but am tyoo lazy for all of them. Send more ~ma, buty not the emergency kind, just a nbice regular kind that helps things work out.
Ack, Kat! No ringing of your bell! Except the good kind.
Goodness, Katerina Bee. I'm so sorry about the accident and subsequent pain. I hope you're able to heal quickly.
