Lent update.
I am doing better with the get something out of the house everyday than the move everyday, must balance the two.
Bag started to used bookstore - 3 books on CD, 7 books
Bag started to Goodwill - 2 shirts, 4 pairs socks, 1 small jewelry box, 1 bracelet, 3 pairs earrings, 2 toys
Trash - 18 pairs underwears, 1 pair tights
"Airway fire" is way more scary than today's earthquake, and for that I am grateful. We live not far from the epicenter, but what with being in bed when it hit and living in a single story house, it wasn't bad at all.
And my promotion is official! Just moved one step up the Project Controls ladder, but this is the second promotion since I moved into this job 6 years ago. Wooooohooooooo!
Suzi! You're having an awesome Monday! Congratulations!
Woohoo on that, too!
I made an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow, so we'll see about the Mysterious Gallbladder-like Symptoms. Here's hoping that's all that it is!
I just read
The Abominable
by Dan Simmons, about climbing Everest in the 1920s, where one of Our Heroes complains of a killer sore throat, almost literally when he nearly chokes to death, because he's developed frostbite
in his throat,
which can really happen if you're exerting yourself in the high thin COLD air and panting a whole lot trying to get enough oxygen. The mucus membrane dies and sloughs off. (If you're lucky enough to cough it up you'll just have a horrible sore throat after.)
It is a pretty good Monday. My body is so sore from the move this weekend.
Move went well. Got the majority moved by the movers just for the cost of a pizza and their tip. Friends helped with the rest. Old keys have been turned in along with a list of small to-do items for the new place.
My bedroom and bathroom are 80% unpacked. The kitchen is getting there. Bookshelves, tchotchkes, and artwork haven't been touched. That may have to wait until after vacation.
Yay, Suzi, both for getting to use your new kitchen and for the promotion!
Good luck, Theo. I've had mysterious gall bladder-ish symptoms a couple of times and not been able to pin down what actually caused them. The good news on that is that they did eventually go away, more or less, And I still have my gall bladder, which might be a win.
