Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I feel like I should be able to come up with something artsy to do with odd socks.

I really shouldn't be surprised that someone whose email address is "Meatwad Bro" can't manage to come up with any useful information for me. I want to suggest that he get a more professional sounding address for work; something like "Crude Tino".

I miss actual three-day weekends that don't involve scheduling weirdness or using PTO to nail down a day off. But that's the deal with 24-hour support situations. I'm really, really hoping that it's so slow they send folks home, but with recent weather I'm rather doubting it.

Oh, I hope you can get a day off, Connie! I'm looking forward to doing not much of anything other than homework tomrrow. And cooking.

In more mememe news, I just realized that today is the six month anniversary of my surgery! I happened to have Dad take photos of me today that match the same place I had him take the ones about ten weeks after the surgery.

I'm always amazed at the way humans can bounce back after such major changes. We're very stretchy.

Kathy, I am continually impressed at your transformation. GO YOU!

Yesterday, I folded all the things (except for many of the socks). Today, I washed all of the rest of the things, including G & N's sheets and quilts.

I also went to a disappointing yoga class. Regular teacher was gone and sub was not my fave. A regular of the other class told the sub "I find what you have us doing annoying, but it's actually helping me find balance in this pose."

I totally agreed. It was annoying, but sometimes it's good to be told to un-rut yourself from a way of thinking.

We're very stretchy.

Connie, can I snag that for a tagline? I love it!

Kathy, you're looking great!

After swimming, I hit up NY&Co where I have giftcards. Only spent half of one, and know I have more on the other, though not sure how much. Got 3 tops (one just a tshirt) and a drapy cardigan thing. Of all the styles out there these days, the drapy tops are the only ones really working for me. I don't need embellishments on my torso. Anywa, at least that was successful. Target out there was out of knit dresses, but had my juice. I've been told to check out Kohl's, which I'll do tomorrow. I'd really prefer to just use gift cards, but if they didn't have anything else that I really needed. There'll be new stock.

Tomorrow have to get to the pool early, as it closes at noon. But at least it opens at 5:30, so if I wake up then....
