Today is my anniversary.  Yup.....a year ago today I broke my tibial plateau.   I cannot believe a year has gone by.  I'm happy to be back on my feet again.   Yee haw!   

 

I got back to Boston on Friday afternoon.  It was a good flight.  Only spent 45 minutes waiting on the runway.  Bad weather over Pennsylvania and New York held us up.

Saturday I went to Amherst to have lunch with Amy.   She's off to Florida to teach for a year or two.  We had a yummy lunch at Judies and finished it off with ice cream at Bart's.  I tried to take my white bookshelf back to Boston with me, but it did not fit in my car.  So now it's Amy's forever.    In retrospect it's sort of funny that we lugged it all the way down the stairs only to bring it back up again.  Have a safe trip Amy.....and enjoy Florida.

Saturday night I made dinner and we watched the season finale of Queer as Folk "on Demand. " I love "on Demand."

Sunday we went to the Central Square Worlds Fair.  We ate Tibetan and BBQ.  We also enjoyed tea at Dado and went to see Bourne Supremacy.  I liked the Bourne Identity better, but this was still enjoyable. 

Now it's Monday and I'm back in the office.  I have been catching up from being away for a week.  We are getting ready for a two day training this week. 

I'm expecting this week to be a bit of a transportation nightmare.  The Democratice National Convention is in town this week.  Don't get me wrong...I'm a big leftist flaming liberal democrat.....I'm all about my political party.   I'm just a little concerned about my commute home today.  Other than that....I'm pretty psyched about the energy and excitement of the convention.  I hope I will be able to go to some of the events.

I'm off.............

Have been in Washington, DC for the past few nights.  Work is ok.  Having a WONDERFUL time catching up with people.  Carolyn....Alanna, Catherine, Nicole......Molly.  It is nice seeing old friends.  Went to NARA after work today.  Checked out the Charters of Freedom.  Feeling a little tried.  Will be happy to go home.

I know I only wrote four days ago......but I feel like it has been forever.  I have been out of the office since Tuesday.  I had  a wonderful time at the training I was at....learned a lot.....but I'm having one of those days where I wish I hadn't left.   Work is busy....my co-workers are a bit cranky.  I just want to go home.  Only one hour and five minutes left.
 
Went to see http://www.coffeeandcigarettesmovie.com/ on Tuesday and hated it.  Saw http://wip.warnerbros.com/beforesunset/ last night and loved it.
 
Hoping to stop by http://www.somervilleartscouncil.org/programs/artbeat/ at some point this weekend.  Lets pray for sun.
 
Going to Washington, DC for five nights on Sunday...for work.  Looking forward to seeing my friends...Carolyn, Alanna, Nicole, Catherine, and Molly while I am there.  Not looking forward to sleeping in a strange bed.  I think I'm a homebody at heart.  I like to travel.......but there is nothing like home. 

Cynthia and Mike's wedding was a great time this weekend. I had a lot of fun. My new nightmare hair was manageable. My heals came off and were replaced with birkenstocks half way through the reception. I danced. Saw some people I hadn't seen in years. Now I'm exhuasted.

I spoke with my dermatologist's office today. My biopsy results were in. Looks like the growth on my face is benign. Glad it's not cancer. Yee haw...just call me WartFace!

Good news. I found out at the end of last week that my enzymes are still normal. They cut my Prednisone to 2.5 mg qd. Yee haw. I go back in a month for more bloodwork.

Got a haircut this weekend. Not sure if the style is quite me. It's a little bit like Danny Partridge meets the L Word. Long bangs are in I hear. For the first time in forever I have an "in" haircut......but I don't really know how to "do" my hair. I haven't really had to "do" my hair since 1987. I'm working on it with new products etc.

Sunday was a GREAT 4th of July. Went to Ogunquit Beach for the day. Got a patchy sunburn on my upper arms and chest......ate yummy french fries.......took a dip in the ocean........spent time at the Front Porch singing cabaret..........had dinner...and watched the fireworks over the ocean. IT was all good. I didn't want to return to Boston. Spent the night in Kittery. Came back on Monday.

Got a Vitamin C Sea Spa Facial yesterday...it was dreamy. My face feels like new.

Gotta run.........
