Robert and I had breakfast at Finch’s, and we were served in the least amount of time that I’m sure we’ve ever been served in there before. My back hurt so much when I stood up to leave that I walked slowly and stiffly, reminding myself of how my father used to walk when his … Read more
When I got up today, it was like some kind of switch had flipped on or something, as my knee was exponentially better. Very noticeably so. My back, however, hurt like fuck. I spent the early afternoon finishing my holiday letter—finally. At around 4:00, I headed to the Borders in Cary intent on using a … Read more
Today was our work holiday party over at the Arboretum on Beryl Road. It was quite the festive time. I sat with a fun group of folks, and I vacuumed up the place when it was over. I took a nap at home, and went to Flex for just a little while. On and off, … Read more
I had another good day at work today—working at a good clip, but not crazy, and getting a good amount of work accomplished. Late morning, I checked my e-mail notification to confirm that my photo cards should indeed be at that K-Mart by now, so I called there. As soon as I said my name, … Read more
I had a good day at work today. On the way home, I took an elderly-disabled seat on the bus, so it was a seat that faced into the aisle. I was in the seat farthest to the right of three like that, so just to my right was the first seat facing forward. This … Read more
My work day started off with professional affirmations about some work I recently completed—one affirmation from my manager and one from my manager’s manager: “Thanks so much, John!

It was an absolute bitch getting my left sock on this morning. I was the only one on the bus this morning when I got on at my stop. I don’t think that’s ever happened before. In fact, I don’t think there’s ever been less then four people already on the bus when I’ve gotten on. … Read more
Robert was a dear this morning and put on the coffee and generally catered to me as I rested me knee. We watched a couple more episodes of Six Feet Under, after which, at about 1:00, I started falling asleep on the couch. Robert bid me adieu and let me be. I woke up at … Read more
I got up at about 11AM today, and immediately took two Vicodin and a Promethazine before eating breakfast. I worked on my blog entry for Thursday, including scanning in the images from my surgery and uploading them to the Web. Robert arrived late afternoon, and we watched an episode of Six Feet Under, had dinner … Read more
I was up early this morning, at around 6:15 to make sure I was up and about before Joe left for work at around 6:45. My leg felt just fine, but after eating a Portuguese muffin (like an English muffin, only bigger) with some turkey sausage on it, I started to get a little bout … Read more
