Looking Up

Things are looking up today. Not quite to neck strain levels, but we’re getting there.

This is what is making me smile today:

• Jen(nie)’s flight took off mostly on time. Kristian is going to be picking her up at the airport and she should be at our house by the time that I get home today. I’m taking my last half personal day to hang out with her this afternoon.
• Speaking of time off…. the woman who enters payroll accidentally deducted someone else’s time off from my balance sheet. She just caught it yesterday. So I have a day and a half of vacation that I didn’t know that I had! At this rate, I might actually be able to go on vacation again someday. I looked at the last year’s worth of vacation deductions to see if she had made any more errors. Alas, it was not to be. 
• Speaking of never being able to take vacation again, I worked out a kick ass flex-time deal for this summer. It should make me more productive and it will give me some extra chunks of time to work on the house. Or sleep in. I’ve heard that sleeping is nice. I’ve been meaning to try it.
• Speaking of never sleeping, I won’t have to get up at the ass crack of dawn once a week for physical therapy because… I finished up today.
• Yeah, physical therapy being over probably should have been at the top of my list. I mean, I can start really running again. And I’m not in constant pain anymore. And I totally impressed my physical therapist with my awesome powers of knee healing. Have I mentioned how nice it is to not be in constant pain?

It was a little anti-climactic to have my physical therapist say, “Ok, we’re done! Keep up your exercises at home and come back if it starts hurting again.” I was like, so I can run?” (Uh, yes, that’s what it means when your done). “And I can start playing frisbee again?” (Yes because, you see, we’re done). And then I thanked her and I walked out, not stopping at the desk to make my next appointment. 

No diploma, no cake, no nothing. What a rip!

Now, if the sun will just come out, I think I could safely say that I’m in a fabulous mood.

We won’t talk about flood insurance. We just…. won’t.
