So, let's see, where was I...
Hi
aika99 and
vzasade! I had a very nice devirtualization (spell check suggested conceptualization instead, but this was more concrete) with those two. It took place in an eatery I shall not name for fear of advertising for it is owned by my parents' friends and I had to go through a bout of тисканье and mom-quizzing before I was allowed to rejoin the party.
You may have already read about the back muscle-pulling, but somehow this morning it migrated into a new region. I didn't think it was that bad so I went out with a very nice British chick to show her the town. Even a hot bath with more Ativan and a lot of relaxing didn't fix it quite yet. Maybe tomorrow I'll actually get to sleep in. Luckily, my doctor agreed that that particular acupuncturist wasn't as authoritative as he presented himself and agreed to prescribe me more of the good stuff. (I love Kaiser - the entire interaction took place over email and soooo fast!)
Sunday Brunch was a raucous success, so much that I haven't yet had the will or the physical ability to clean up afterwards. We have no clean dishes and no will to cook so we're eating takeout. Poor Andy has work deadlines, but they are tomorrow so hopefully he'll start coming home earlier than 9. I guess that in and of itself might be a motivation to cook. On the other hand, not so much to clean - bothering with that before the dusty burners return is just not going to happen, back pain or not.
