So, this morning at work, I'm coming down the stairs from the Reference area - only about 5 or 6 steps, not particularly steep, & I'm not going particularly fast - when I get to the bottom of the stairs on my left foot, and my brain says "Oh wait, that doesn't feel quite right..."  I don't know what I did, but somehow I just stepped down wrong, and was limping around for the rest of the day.  That seems to be better now, BUT -

I came home to find the shoes I'd ordered Friday arrived, so I decided to try them on.  Took two steps, slid across the floor, and landed on a combination of my arse and my left shoulder.  

I may not get out of bed tomorrow.

 OK, the Jehovah's Witnesses are gone.  You can stop pretending to be Cujo now.

Sheesh.  She doesn't bark like this for her Sworn Enemy, the mailman.

It stopped raining just long enough for the Mets to lose.  Again 

 *bops around with hairbrush microphone*

"Vacation, had to get away...."  Um, oops.

*hides hairbrush*

Heh.

I'm going to Germany for 12 days @ the end of July!  

My first choice was actually Croatia (waits for the inevitable "Huh?"), but flights were proving to be psychotic, requiring things like stops in Paris & Budapest in both directions - !  Second choice was Spain, but I couldn't fit the tour I wanted into my schedule until September, when mitchy 's coming back anyway.  Germany's a nice 3rd choice.  I spent a day & a half in Munich a few years ago on my way to Prague, and I've wanted to see more of the country (and the beer!).  And I think I like my new travel agent (my old one went out of business last year) - she got me a very nice deal on the (nonstop!) flights, thus leaving me more money for beer souvenirs.

Wheee!

I might - possibly - just a wee smidge - have overdone it with the yardwork today.

I have a little plastic figurine of the Egyptian goddess Hathor on my desk @ work.  Hathor, for those who don't know, is the goddess of love (among other things).  Well.  My figurine hasn't wanted to stand up straight since I got it, and lately her right arm has been coming disconnected from its socket if I move her even slightly.

I'm thinking these are not good things from a goddess of love.

 *sighs happily*

Did some gardening this a.m. - I must post pics at some point - and then it got too hot, with all of the beds I needed to weed naturally being the ones in full blazing sun at the moment.  So here I am, sitting on the front porch, with the smells of BBQ wafting over the neighborhood, reading fanfic & eating frozen Penguins (thanks, mitchy)!

Sitting down, finally.  It was supposed to rain all day, so when I realized after breakfast that it wasn't raining, I thought I'd take advantage & finish planting the veggies I started yesterday.  I also potted the rosemary & oregano & hacked down some bamboo.  And damn near broke the shovel in a vain attempt to dig up the roots.  Oy.  

Then I came inside & did what I'd originally planned to do if it was raining: made cookies.  :-)

And somewhere along the way I volunteered to make dinner.  *flumps*

The computers came up again shortly after lunch & I managed to avoid killing anyone.

Hey, I'll take whatever I can get! 

 ...your systems admin calls you @ 4:30, after a day of prodding your internet connection, and starts the conversation with, "You're not going to like me for this...."

In related news, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo.  On my forehead.  One that reads, "No, I don't know when the internet will be back up.  DO I LOOK LIKE A FREAKIN' PSYCHIC TO YOU?!?!?!?!"

*takes several deep breaths*

I'm okay.

Really.

 I won some icons by afterism in the last Sweet Charity auction.  She made me a bunch of great Marvel stuff, including a few characters that I meant to ask for & forgot.  :-P

I'm a happy fangirly.  :-)

Six of us (out of a staff of twenty) wore pink to work today.

i swear, we did not plan this.

Possibly I've been working here too long?
