smonster, yay for job!

Ugh, buffistas who are having a hard time, I'm sorry. Hope for better and easier days for you. Also medical~ma for those who need or want it.

I'm sorry for not updating for a while. I've had really great - and really busy - time until now, and I'm typing this from Seattle airport, soon to be on my way to SF. I'm so grateful and happy for everyone I got to meet so far of will meet. I also officially miss home (yes, despite everything), and looking forward to stop traveling after next week and stop having to repack the damn suitcases every two to three days.

I really needed the break from work and war and happy that I'm having this vacation. To get to grok some things from afar and with perspective was super needed as well. And I'm feeling so very lucky for knowing everyone I'm meeting or stayed with here. Thank you for that, so much.

Next stop: SF. See you there! I'll be working on the 15th and 16th and hanging out with Hec on the 14th, but let me know if you'd like to meet!

I should be packing. Our flight leaves at 6:20 in the morning. Still have to do a bunch of stuff. We'll settle in SF on Wednesday. We're spending Tuesday wandering in the Reno/Lake Tahoe region. I haven't been that way before, and DH wants to revisit.

Guess I will pack up the dog for his vacation and do more packing..... I really hope my housesitter likes salad because I have so much lettuce, cukes, tomatoes, and stuff that will go to waste.

I got my hair cut today. Maybe actually got what I had in mind.

I haven't even decided what to pack. ugh. work, brain, work!

I broke my pinkie toe (or, it seems and feels broken anyway) on... the dog last night! She is 100% fine.

Bringing her in from a walk, she somehow planted her tough, little, back paw in a way that ended up doing something to me as I walked past her, and caught it on her paw, and I'll be damned if MY own pinkie paw isn't black and blue and screaming every time I move it. It' been waking me up from time to time.

She is, of course, just fine, no limp or favoring of her other paw, sleeping like a baby (the kind who sleep through the night) and barely even took notice of my jam.

Broke my pinkie on a tiny, little dog paw. That's a new one.

A thousand thank-yous to the universe that I didn't fall or anything, though, TBH.

Ow, Jen! My arms are covered in fading bruises from my sister-in-law’s young lab greeting me enthusiastically with a big grin that exposed all her hard teeth.

Jen, that sounds miserable. Maybe buddy tape it to the next toe? I think that’s all you can do for a broken toe.

Gave notice yesterday, went super great. Bosses not surprised, happy for me, a little annoyed I didn’t use them for a reference.

I am taking today off because I need a total rest day. The trip was great but pretty busy and emotionally exhausting and I had a lot of trouble sleeping. I get to sleep today whenever I feel like it, and do whatever floats my boat. I hereby proclaim.

Good plan!

I'm getting flashbacks to meara's dog tripping related injuries.

Shir is coming over today! I'm putting her to work on the Memorial immediately.

Get some sleep smonster.

Jen a broke pinkie sucks. I fracture or broke mine once and it hurt so much.
