Timelies all!
Gary's work gave everyone this week off, lucky guy. He's gone to pick up Mr. S from daycare, and I have Nova on my lap.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Drove home from DC today in the rain. Left BFF's house in northern VA at about 9:15. Stopped for gas and coffee, and was on the road until 5PM (one short break for Popeye's). Exhausting.

That's a long drive, Vortex!
I made molasses cookies, went to PT, and have a friend coming over later for dinner and a movie, which will be nice. But oh man, does my hip and back hurt from getting around the past few months. I am so off-balance. I measured recently and my right thigh is a full inch smaller than my left (even though I've been using it somewhat, with the knee crutch and stuff) and my calf is two inches smaller than my left one! It looks withered. But I'm almost not looking forward to being able to put weight on it, because that's going to be a lot of hard and painful work! Right now, pt is just massage and flexing and icing, only painful when they're doing cupping on the scar. But soon it'll be a world of ow. But guess I gotta get through it to walk and dance. Here's praying next week thye have good news for me! I'm trying to write down questions I have for the docs but feel like I'm forgetting some.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm here at the penultimate night of a 100-year old bar in Brooklyn. It's a bar that used to be frequented by the Mohawk ironworkers. It's about to be torn down and replaced by a high rise, which I guess is sort of appropriate.

Aww that sounds pretty cool but sad, Tom.
I had a friend over and we watched "to all the boys I've loved before" and it was adorable. Netflix really stepping up the rom-com game, since movies in theaters aren't! I had read the book it was based on, but so long ago that I didn't remember what happened!

I'm flying back to San Francisco today, and I plan to spend the next few days in my pajamas reading.

Went to lunch, ran a couple errands, and we are now back home. Gary took Mr. S to the playground in the hope he would burn off some of his energy.

I'm having a terrible time getting off the couch today.
ION, I'm fighting with Paypal again because despite being shamed on Twitter, they claim the answer to my sister's problem is to have her contact them through the general customer support line, which she has done FIVE TIMES ALREADY. It's like that old joke about the definition of insanity...
