That’s great, Jess!

Congrats Jess!!
Omg my friend just ordered a pizza from this random place here and it went from “large” to “XXXL” with nothing in between. She ordered the XXXL and it was pricey and we wondered if it came with the delivery boy too or something…but no, it’s the largest pizza I’ve ever seen. It’s like 3 feet across. Wow.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'd love to see the oven that can handle a pizza that large.
Congratulations, Jess!
I confess, Steph, I've done much the same with a single pill, or even a bite of food.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
YAY JESSICA!!!! (This is a time, I feel, when multiple exclamation marks are warranted.)
For those who don't follow me on the facebook:
Who's a dumbass who went roller skating despite having a premonition I was going to get hurt? This girl right here. Took a bad fall and popped my knee the wrong direction last night, and this morning's urgent care suspects it is a torn meniscus. I vacillate between a mild ache and sharp pains when I do the wrong thing on it, and my walk is a hobble (super convenient in the world's least ADA compliant house with a giant puppy who doesn't understand why I won't play with him). Anyway, it may need surgery, but they won't know until they can get an MRI, and I can't get that referral until my PCP's office opens on Monday, at which point I will be flying to Florida to meet up with Drew and my dad. I've already requested wheelchair transportation in the airport since I don't think I can manage a suitcase or carry-on while I slowly hobble through the terminal.
The housesitter arrived tonight, and she's very sweet and helpful already, so that's one less thing to worry about. She's going to go through the morning and evening routine with the pets tomorrow so she can see how it all works.
In the short term, they did an X-ray (no fracture) and prescribed anti-inflammatories and pain meds to get me through. I'm lucky I can put limited weight on it, so I can still walk (very carefully and slowly). I'm just annoyed with myself for not listening to my gut. It could have been much worse, so I'm trying to focus on that. And it really will be okay.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Will it be Mistress Jess or Doctor Jess?
Mistress - if I ever lose my mind and try to go for a doctorate, just smack me in the back of the head until I come to my senses please.
Kristin, oh no!! Glad it's not a fracture but that sounds very unfun.
