back to work…

*sigh*

I decided to try the work thing again. We’ll see how people getting ergo evaluated like being slurred at and spit on…in a good way of course. I will only do a couple hours on Monday and try out my choppers in public. I know the Yahoo! cafe has refried beans so I can refuel. Always important to know where the nearest refried bean station is. That’s my motto.

Of course Court will be out of town at some convention in boring old New Orleans (read: jealous!) so I will have no one with whom to share my post-op work stories…guess this blog will come in handy. Before he leaves though, I think we’re going to go buy a new scanner…teehee. I have way too many pictures…I’m gunna have a scanner party. Me and my scanner…oh yeah, you may get to suffer through that too, since the many photo requests I have had have dictated I go back into the archives and show what I looked like pre-braces the first time, post braces the first time, pre-braces the second time (which also equals pre-surgery pictures) and then I will update the photo blog. I thought no one was looking, but I got a number of requests, and who am I to deny the public humiliating pictures of my profile throughout the years? Such a martyr I am.

While Court is gone I will raid the fridge and eat leftovers galore.  Have I mentioned how incredibly accomodating our favorite restaurants have been?  We go to  Chinese restaurant down the street called Gin Mon, and every time we have gone after my surgery, they cut up the tofu axtra small so I can chopsticks that stuff right in.  The owner also recommended I try the eggplant since it is so soft, and lo and behold!  I can eat it!  It’s yummy.  Court hates eggplant.  More for me!!!  We went to Sushi monster a couple nights ago and mmmmm…..I was in heaven.  It was a feast!!!  I cannot do nori, so I got my two dishes sashimi style, and they had fresh uni and ankimo…for those without weak stomaches, I ate sea urchin and monk fish liver.  *sigh*  I was in absolute ecstacy.  Ask Court.  He was kind of embarrassed.  Saffron Indian Bistro let me eat the sauces from all the dishes on the buffet and Pinky even brought over some fresh saag (spinach) from the back.  I feel very privileged.  Unfortunately, with great privilege in my world, comes occasional mind numbing stabbing pain…but only sometimes.  The rest of the time it’s just annoying.  The price one pays.  I say thank you to the local restaurant owners though!  Life savers they are.

Oh man.  Now I’m hungry.  Here come more of those post-op pounds back onto my waistline.  Elastic band pants.  It’s all the rage.
