I can straighten my arm without pain.

Whoo!

Just got up from a nap when Tom got home. Woke up a couple of times because of stupid loud scary thunder!

Wow, you guys, with the love and thanks! Thanks, and I love you! As I said to smonster on the way downtown, "I can't let you die, I'd be in SO much trouble with the Buffistas!"

I answer to a higher power... THE BITCHES.

Also, I knew if I didn't go, or encourage smonster to go, I'd be up all night worrying. So, it was more fun to hang out with smonster. Sure, it was at the ER, but still! Smonster time, AMIRITE!?!? See, I'm actually very selfish.

We do envy your Smonstertime! Although, wish it wasn't in the hospital. Was there any belly dancing??

ETA: ION- I have done work. Gronk is clearing a bit. Timesheets for TWO months (because I forgot to do last months) and a couple purchase orders. Woot! Now to do more, which involves delivering things across the school of the arts. Maybe the walkabout will wake me up more.

Was there any belly dancing??

Sadly, no. There was a pretty cute toddler in the waiting room named Marcel flirting with smonster, but he and his mama left fairly early on.

Marcel's smile is a side bennie of New Orleans' lack of regulation, because I'm pretty sure that much cute is illegal in most municipalities.

Bev! That teapot is gorgeous. Wow.

Ow. Tried to play through the pain during shin splints while power walking tonight. Mistake. Hurty OUCH

Oh, Vortex. Shin splints and facsitis both just usually respond best to babying. No powering through!

Thanks, smonster. The minute it's clean enough I don't feel I'm risking a horrible poisoning death I'll have tea! (Kidding. As if I'm lacking in teapots. Or teabags, for that matter)

Ice and NSAIDS, Vortex! Don't walk through shinsplint pain, you can get hairline fractures in your tibia! Also, if you don't let them heal they come right back (I know, they've been bugging me since the beginning of the year)

That's a gorgeous teapot, Beverly!

Also, what meara said about shin splints.

In other news, renovation on the house started this week, and I am agog at how much dust there is. I think there is enough dust to compress into bricks and build another house.

Grr! I'm trying to keep my momentum. Although I originally started using the elliptical to avoid shin splints.
