Toddson that sounds annoying but maybe it’s a new alternative to a treadmill desk, forcing you to move? :)

Dana that sounds awful. Good grief.

I was leading a meeting Saturday morning (see above) and after an hour, someone's phone went off with an alarm that he should stand up and stretch. So I had us all stand up and stretch! It was a good idea. 5-7 minutes is far too often for that, though!

That's funny, Jesse -- I love that. Toddson, my boss at BoA a hundred years ago that that issue in her office... but it was light enough so that half the time, she'd just sit there in the dimness, and when I'd walk in, she'd be like, "Oh, thank you..." like I had just paid to get her electric turned back on. It was pretty funny.

Had a really fun reunion weekend this past weekend. (msbelle, I saw Dani briefly and got to share that and how you and I knew each other. We had the funniest exchange, which was basically, "We never really hung out in college, yet I've always been drawn to you!" "I know, me, too!" And hugs. It was good.)

Now for work. I also have a three-hour dentist appointment for a crown today. Blergh.

Crowns don't have to be bad ... root canals, however .... (which require a crown)

Yeah, I had the root canal a couple of weeks ago, and I have to say -- easy as pie and not a bit of pain afterwards. The crown's not bad; it just takes forrrrevvvverrrrr. Honestly, I'm lucky to be getting a crown; the endodontist wasn't sure that would be possible, which would have meant an extraction and all that follows that. He also did a bit of the build up that the dentist would've needed to do, so he was pretty proud of himself by the end. He said, "I made Dr. A's job easier!"

Lol so my sister was on a weight loss drug study like I am but hers ended a few weeks ago. So no more drugs. I was asking how she’s doing and she said she even lost a little more weight…but it was probably because she had two root canals, temporary crowns, and plans for permanent ones, over the past couple/next couple weeks. I will pass on that diet plan please!

Aw JenP, fun.

Really: the reunion, not the dental work.

Ha, yeah, meara, that's not a diet plan I'd subscribe to.

Dentist waiting room now. It's always freezing in this office, so I have to dress like I'm visiting Alaska even on 80° days.

Cereal:

I think the most painful part just happened, which was paying for it. Sheesh. And I have decent dental... I mean, comparatively.

Walletectomy!

Wow, Dana, that is some brutal travel baloney. May you be returned to your pillow and pill case asap.

For those of you who remember the torturous, frustrating, ever fucky, tooth gnashing journey of selling JZ's dad's business to Kevin (aka, "Fucking Kevin!"), the aforementioned Fucking Kevin has just made his first payment to us. On time, without fuss or fanfare. (He's repaying the rawther large loan we had to give him to satisfy the bank financing the deal.)

So for the next three years or so, I'll be getting a large monthly check, which is exactly why the next three years will be David Spends Money On The House. The first project will be the attic, but that's coupled with getting solar panels and putting in a heat pump.

Every time I think about putting up the solar panels the little apocalyptic fiction reading part of my brain gives a nod of satisfaction as that's clearly going to be a huge help after the zombie uprising.
