6 months and other random thoughts on a Friday....

Yessir, it's been 6 months since I decided to take a header off of a veranda. Another 10 days, and it will have been 6 months since my surgery to correct the damage caused by said header. 2 titanium plates, countless Percosets, and half a year later, I am here. Now I get to go to the doc and find out if any nasssssty bloodborne illnesses found their way in during all of that excitement in various hospitals. If the answer is negative, I get to get another tattoo. Yay!

My bodily recovery has been nothing short of amazing. None of my dentists nor the CT scan tech could tell that there had been any damage to my right cheekbone (until they started working on the affected area, of course). I wonder if it's too late to send a thank you to the ENT specialist who restored my face?

The mental recovery - we know how that's going. Slowly, slowly....


I have to move cubes today. Not only that, but I'm also the one in charge of moving all of the mail station crap. Not that that's ever been expressly pointed out to me, but I know it just the same, because I am the maid of the floor. I'm sure I'll do it wrong, just like I set up the copy room wrong (oh horrors, I set it up how it would be best and easiest for me to use it, because I'm the one who basically lives in there).

Uber-competitive people and perfectionist bosses annoy the everliving fuck out of me. "I *must* win! Ha ha, I won and you didn't! Nyah ne-nyah nyah nyah nyah!" "This isn't the way I want it, and it's your fault. Don't take any initiative, because you won't do it the way I want you to." A hearty fuck you to both classes of people. I wish I could actually say it to faces, but Miss Manners and our bank account forbid such dangerous living.


I ran 9 miles on Wednesday. I meant it to be 10, but I accidentally knocked the Emergency Stop button out at 9 miles and figured it was a Sign. Yesterday, I slept from 6 until 10 and from midnight until 7 this morning. Hmmm. Perhaps one should not run 9 miles and then go out drinking until 1:30 a.m. unless one can sleep in the next day? It's a thought. Since my general health and well-being improves dramatically when I have a 9+ mile run every 10 days (at the very least), I'll have to remember that little fact.


Not much going on this weekend. Take Me Out closes. We have Streetcar rehearsal on Saturday. We found a stage manager for Streetcar! Yay! I'l probably still have to house manage most nights, but that's a better deal. I won't have to watch the show every night - I'll be able to hang out in the lobby and read books. I like that kind of gig.


It's frickin' rainy and cold. Dammit. It's May! I should have packed my winter sweaters a long time ago!


I'd best go pack up my cube. Whee.


What are you planning for this weekend?

It's never too late to send a thank you note.

Plans? I need to have plans for this weekend? Crap, I knew I was forgetting something. There's an SCA event about 4 hours from me that I'm going to pass on. I think I'm going to do laundry and clean up my place some and wander in the city a bit, maybe meet some friends for drinks on a patio. Might catch a movie. I've seen Hitchhiker's Guide and enjoyed it. I may give Kingdom of Heaven a try. Pretty slack weekend, but my weekends will be filled with SCA activities soon enough.

I hope your rehearsal goes well!

Housewarming party on Saturday. Laundry, errands and whatnot fills out the rest.

Moving StY out of the apartment and back into our house. He's packing up his stuff today. Tomorrow he gets to help H pack up the room here. Despite all my pleas, arguments, offers to help, to do it for him, H has used the room as a closet--clothes in stacks and piles, everywhere, and also piles of indeterminate "stuff" in corners on the floor. So tomorrow they clear that out, and Sunday StY moves back in. Maybe I'll get a haircut in there somewhere. And we have two Netflix to watch and send back.

My life. Just a social whirl.

I'm with sowilo: a thank-you note is never late. I sent one to Ruth Cavin thirteen years after Plainsong came out, and have a book deal as a result.

Me, weekend? Painting kitchen baseboards. Editing my first pass proofs of "Matty Groves". Fleeing for my sanity on Sunday, because it's Bay to Breakers.

Weekend?

Tonight-

Seeing the Geef's show

Tomorrow-
Slugging it out with more prom kids, possibly seeing a really, truly terrible show at the CfIA.

Sunday-
Housework w/the fiancee', and then manual labor for my dad (who's been illin' as of late.)

Sandwiched in between all that will be working out, karate-ing, and drinking. I live a charmed life.

come see Richard instead. The Round will have LOTS of people .... and our house is small.

I'll tell you what happens in Arms later.

:)

XOXO

Saturday I must spend unpacking, but Sunday I am heading up to SF to see people there.

What is this tattoo going to be?

I thought I'd get started setting up my pot garden on my balcony, but reading what everyone else has planned has tired me out. I think I might just sleep, a lot.

You know how that sounds like to at least some of us, right?

I'ma pot you! See what kind of plant grows from the seed. Probably some kind of clown plant. I laugh at you--hahahahaha!
