Because books.

Medical ~ma, Sox. I hope everything's okay.

Jesse, that's awful about your friends. I can't even imagine that, at 51.

Tons of ~ma, Sox.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In good news, I have patched my bathroom walls! After confirming with the guy at the hardware store that the skim coat was, in fact, what I was talking about, and that I was buying the right stuff. It looks more or less crappy now, but I think after sanding and everything, it will be fine! Woo!

Surgery is set for the 30th. Now I scramble to get work coverage dealt with. At least I only have to plan for a week off since I work from home. If I had another job I'd be out 4-6 weeks.

That's good, Suzi!

Damn. Weather service alert broke into the radio broadcast- we're now under a winter storm warning for tomorrow, 4-6" starting at 7 am.

Yay skimmming, Jesse!

Consuela, no, so far as I know, there were no plans for Indian food -- as it was, I hung with friends and had Hotel Food.

I'm totally out of initiative today. The most important thing I've done is put together the wig stand I bought with the wig, and set it up with wig and my favorite fancy hat on my dresser. Perhaps this will start as incentive to keep it clear of cruft.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Argh, I should not have checked my work e-mail. Now I have to do some work! But it's because of something I messed up last week, so I can't complain too much.

Is that going to work out okay with all your spring plans, Suzi?

FYI, Pivot is showing the first nine episodes of Buffy today. Harvest is on now.

I hope so.

I also got lease renewal info and just signed a transfer agreement. We are moving into a first floor 2 bedroom unit on the other side of the complex. Move date is March 15th.

So - Surgery Jan 30th, drug haze through Feb 7th, birthday Feb 9th, no weight on that foot through late Feb, get boot in late Feb/early March pack, pack, pack through March 14th, move March 15th, unpack, unpack, possible upgrade to sneakers in late March, vacation March 20th - 28th, unpack, unpack.

Easy, peasy. Eeeeeeep.
