Off in an hour or so to go stay with my sister for a week. Other sister is arriving from NY tomorrow. Whee, I be singing I got all my sisters with me soon.
Went to the doctor this morning about all my prolapsed parts. He was super nice and communicative, but I have 3 more appointments now. This test, that test, then the consult to discuss results and options. I'm kinda in a just fix it already mode, but apparently he wants to do stuff right. Sheesh. I don't know if surgery before I go north is going to be an option.
I just told some co-workers what I thought was a pretty funny story about showing Rose (who was 8) an Eddie Izzard sketch full of f-bombs, only to realize none of them knew who Eddie Izzard is.
Rose, who just turned 8, which doesn't seem possible. Also, I guess they need to see the sketch too!
The first step is to try to feel more like a functioning human being and less like a feral world-hating curmudgeon, so I'm working on that.
The daily dog walk at the end of the work day is helpful for me, but also is just doing any single thing that needs doing. I hung up some pictures yesterday and MAN DID THAT FEEL GOOD TO DO SOMETHING! Today I went through a stack of envelopes that have been on my desk for MONTHS! I knew there were no bills or urgent items in there. I tossed more than half of it and put the rest where they need to go. SOMETHING DONE! Tonight my plan is to cook a couple of things.
You folks know what is great? I wandered up to my neighborhood sidewalk sale on Saturday and ran into msbelle and we got to shop together.
True facts! It was like how things were supposed to be when I moved here. Happy fun times.

In fact, she just turned 9! The Eddie Izzard story was from a couple of months ago.

Fan-fucking-tastic!
I remember when we ran into Sumi on the streets of Chicago: "Are you....Buffistas?"
not the dog
My sister's dog Gina loved coffee. Portland hipster dog, liked to hand out at Stumptown and drink out of any cups that were left unguarded and in reach
Aw, lisah and msbelle!
"Historically" doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence!
Indeed! The conversation was about garbage people, so.

That IS great!

Oh wow.
