Thrive to spite them

Thanks Zen. It actually really helps me that I have hard data to look at that shows I'm doing well. And much better than I imagined I'd be doing on the sales floor.

I called out, I talked to the operations manager who's reaction was "this is not good." Dude, I know it's not good, which is why I went into work yesterday adn then left after 3 hours because I couldn't take it. I didn't say that, I said, that I understood but this is the situation that had me going home early and if I went in I'd probably only last 2 hours.

I also should have called sooner but I blanked on the manager's extension and that was a mistake (I need to fix my phone with that in there).

The antibiotics also make me really tired and I ended up tain a nap yesterday. I also cleaned off the kitchen table - first time in months! And have all the Christmas boxes ready to put out for recycling Tuesday night.

If I can't be productive at work I'm at least inching my way to contorlling the chaos in my house.

I know it is silly to still mark stuff like this now that we're married, but it has been 10 years since TCG and I went on our first date!

You would think so, but we've been married for 4 years, so something is wonky with the math.

Always Anti-fascist!

Wow, I'd love to meet someone I'm that eager to remember. I do have a date like that, here or there, but I don't dwell on them, because I'm not with that person.(I mean, it's hard to avoid one of them, because it was New Year's Eve...the only really cinematic one I ever had, to date, at least.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Ok, I may be in over my head with Harvey. He is obviously feeling a lot better. This is excellent. I am so very grateful for that. But the vet said to restrict his activity. I suppose I should call back to get clarification on how long. But in addition to getting out of his kennel (so far the twistie tie has worked, he has now figured out how to get around the laundry basket we place at the bottom of the stairs to keep him from traipsing up and down (and mostly from falling) during those times when he is out of the kennel. He has taken to launching himself off my lap from a relaxed pose. (I'd been catching him in the act of getting down so I could place him gently on the floor.) He also jumped off Daniel's desk when Daniel was not fast enough to stop him.

I've tried to interest him in playing, various toy wands and the laser pointer so he could burn off his energy in a more controlled fashion, while keeping him on the ground so he isn't jumping around and jarring his back on landings. So far he has not responded to my attempts. Any ideas on how to keep him from re-injuring himself. Cuz I'm wondering if my next step should be asking for a mild sedative or permission to dope him up with benedryl or some such.
