*waves to Jen*  hope you're having a good weekend!!

Sets down tray of drinks with little umbrellas in them. Enjoy!

So far, weekend's been very quiet - laying on couch reading with leg up in the air. Knee I skinned badly on Wednesday last night swelled, turned an angry red color and was hot to the touch. Much better this morning, but not taking any chances. So, spent the day with a stack of "to be reads" and being waited on hand-and-foot. Not too shabby.

Knee's looking better this morning. Has turned a delightful shade of green as the bruising subsides.

For all of you who think I may be over-reacting (after all, it is only a skinned knee), my youngest once got a "super infection" from a skinned knee - took over a month on strong antibiotics (oral and topical) to knock the darn thing out. Almost ended up hospitalized with IV antibiotics. All from a skinned knee. *shrugs*

Bleh; I hear you, Seitherin. ~flops on one of the remaining deckchairs and happily snags a drink~ I'm dogsitting for my parents which isn't, in and of itself, at all a horrible thing. I've just had far too much time by myself to think about things I've been trying not to think about.

Yay internet! Shiney! Distractey! ~surfs~

I'm wavering between being okay and not being okay. I've been tidying mum's house and found a card she gave my dad, and it's so clear she adores him. They'll be one of those wonderful old couples that clearly can't live without each other, and I got all teary over it.

But it's a gorgeous day out and I keep wandering outside to sit in the sunshine for a few minutes here and there (not too long as the ground's wet, sadly) and it feels good.

It's just one of those days. I can't decide what sort of mood I'm in, so I'm not really in one.

Had a great weekend ~ it was my birthday so I got to be queen for a couple of days & lots of nice prezzies. 

And now I only have 4 work days 'til I'm off to BC again with the girls from the 'hood.  Can't wait.

Birthday Party?

I would sing the Happy Birthday song, but copyright infringment and all. :oP

Hope it was glorious, Birthday Queen.

Hippo birdie two ewe, Calesta, albeit belatedly.

I do not like cleaning up other people's messes.

Neither do I.  We have a team of support staff who are supposed to help us with our data entry stuff.  I hate using them because I'm a control freak & the girl who used to work for us made all kinds of mistakes. So I do it all myself.  But this week I have some really tedious work - so I handed it off & its all messed up.  I want to scream. I don't have time to check this much less fix it.  Why can't people do their jobs right??

It snowed here this morning! Got a nice dusting. Heh. It was very strange, though, with hockey-puck size flakes.

Then I went downtown to do some errands. Ick. But I came home with a scratching post for the cats, in hopes of saving my new furniture. Two of them have figured it out already. Amazing.

Now I'm off to have breakfast. Lunch. Brunch. Whatever.

Thanks Peter!  Good to see you... life going on as usual I presume?

@Jen - it almost feels like snow here today.  I imagine its saving itself up for Thursday night - just in time for our drive through the mountains.
