Those must be heavy-duty hooks in the walls--do you have to put them in the studs? I would love a hammock...

Just realized there should totally be a dating service named Studfinder.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yup, into the studs.

Walkietkies. Bought 2 for Xmas, was dragged into endless games with them( including in separate cars while moving and racing each other) and bought 3 more( doubles sold out, fuck that shit, I'll get an extra) and they're endless entertainment and enjoyment.

Since last, moved in, got living room together for me to sleep &movies on the tv, masterbed agreeable. Today I cajoled my SIL into unpacking the kitchen to her protests of not knowing where to start all the way to only pantry which needs shelves hung stuff to go. And she still has empty shelves!

I've got crazy bruises, haven't swam in a week, carried mattresses singlehanded to the amazement of contractors and goddamn, my brother, SIL and nephs are home. And I'm glad I was here to help.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

So last night I managed to break my big toe in two places in the process of not quite falling down the stairs -- basically, I managed to toe-plant like a ballerina, only less gracefully and more painfully.

I don't need heavy-duty painkillers, it only hurts when I move it. I'm trying to remember that pain is the body's way of saying 'don't do that.' We'll see if the lesson takes.

Oh Theo, ouch! You poor thing.

Theo that sounds awful! Dang, I hope it stays not super painful.

Just got a blowout for the wedding, waiting on the other two bridesmaids. But it's pouring rain out, so not sure how well this will work by the time we get back to the hotel, get ready, and get to the wedding venue.

The ER took X-rays, so this is the first time I have definitely broken a bone (or two).

My reaction when the doctor was showing me the pictures was, "Oh good! I wasn't being a big cry-baby!"

My big concern right now is if I'm going to be able to drive my car, which being a standard means clutching with the broken-toed foot. Maybe if I can put on my steel-shank hiking boots or something similarly stiff-soled?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ouch, Theo! Did they give you a boot?

I am on the train! Heading to my birthday party! Good times.
