It's nice and quiet work-wise today. I hope that trend continues through Friday.

Man, I need to pick a 2013 calendar. I was sure it would be SPN, but then Hobbit. Still--there is more confirmed hobbit than there is Show, so I should go SPN.

And I'm also sad I forgot to put together provocateuse calendars before the new year. I haven't done that for a long time.

That sucks, meara--did you miss stuff? I changed my alarm clock (for some reason) to announce the time before setting off the alarm, and it freaked me out this morning. My android devices talk to me way too much.

Apparently insurance has "approved" the neurostimulator trial. But I have no idea how much that means I have to spend--on the trial, and then on the final thing if the trial works out. I'm not entirely sure why this doesn't seem to be normal information to gather before the procedure. Need to get back on the horn to insurance.

And I do need to start getting my FSA refunds. All of that this month. It's a promise to myself.

That's a start!

I feel like I used to get calendars as gifts, but not for the last several years. Maybe I'll start giving them next year, in hopes of getting one!

In short, I need to buy a calendar, too.

That's a start!

I don't want one, though! I really really don't want one. But I feel like I'm up against a wall, and this is the only paddle within reach. So to, ah, speak.

Tom, that calendar is way cooler than I am. Well, at least cooler than my cube at work.

I have a calendar of the Mayhem guy.

I was bitching last year because my mother-in-law usually buys all the women in the family a nice weekly desk calendar, and she hadn't last year. And apparently it got back to her that we'd complained, so I got one this year, yay! Way to be ungrateful, I know, but she seemed tickled that we'd liked them and missed them. Anyway, today I have the task I enjoy of going through the year and penciling in all the things I know about in advance. I have lots of electronic ways to keep tabs too, but sometimes I just need to look at a piece of paper.

I keep meaning to post. I got a Hobbit cup at the theater when we saw Wreck It Ralph. Just a large promo cup with pictures if anyone wants.

Oh, Matt, that's terrible. I'm so sorry.

Well, of course you don't have to get it. But if no one has any better ideas....? It's a trial before the Big Installation, right? That seems worth doing to me. From outside your body/life/self, obviously.

Sometimes it's hard to know what's a rut and what's a tradition, you know?
