Not so bad day

[cjsmith]

Fog was GORGEOUS this morning. Mmmm, I love nice thick soupy fog.

I am the proud holder of many delicious snickerdoodles left over from my friend's baking. Wonderful! I gave two away to a coworker and I'm hoarding the rest. cackle cackle cackle

Several meetings today, in between which I also got a little bit of work done. Not too bad. :-)

Tomorrow I'll call my podiatrist to make a follow-up appointment. 1) No, just like the last five, the latest painkiller does not do diddly. 2) If you're out of ideas, let's call it a day. A for effort, thanks for all the things you tried, I'll write if I find work a cure. Then I'll call the acupuncturist and set that up. One step at a time.

I may also, if my sense of humor is up to it, write a pointed note to Team In Training. I am really tired of their promotional materials telling me that "anyone can" go do their triathlons or runs or whatever. I'm not anyone, eh? Thanks a lot. And not one single soul is running to cure me. I won't miss that endless stream of cheery little reminders in the mail. Buh-bye.

Also, dentist appointment tomorrow morning. My life is full of glamor and adventure! Don't you wish you were me? Maybe it's time to dye my hair red, or a nice hazel-green, just because I can.

Houseguest arrives DAY AFTER TOMORROW! squeee!

Hmmm, rfrench has a different take on the fog. But, I agree with you. It looked pretty cool this morning.

Yeah, I wouldn't have liked it either if I were flying. :-)

"anyone can"

Regarding the Team in Training thing: ads which address "you" are onena my pet peeves. "You will love this baby thingie". No, I won't, I don't have a baby. "Your psoriasis will go away in stop bugging you." No, actually I have none, so it won't. (Other things besides ads do this, but ads seem to be the worst case.) Very tedious even in the common cases. The Team in Training case, however, is extra 'specially annoying. NOT NICE. They should be clunked on the head.

And, um, I'm not *running* to cure you, but I'm sending that SORT of energy/idea. Snicker or take it to the bank, as you wish. We could print T-shirts? Also, wouldn't a SITATHON be more appropriate? (Not trying to be obnoxious here.... I think "sitting for a cure" would be more fun than "running for a cure" anyway....)

Yes indeedy. Ads making assumptions are just plain annoying.

Thank you very much for your one-person sitathon! I am imagining a medidate-a-thon. I like it.

Just maybe, if you invited her, she'd come visit you too some day! :-)

It was wonderful to visit Lisa in Cairo. I'm glad I can repay the favor, albeit in a very small way.
