Crazy
The past 2 days have been crazy at work-yesterday I was literally in a meeting from 8:30-6pm, which is to be repeated today and tomorrow, with a break for a company meeting. I have never been in a company that is so professional yet "small company" at the same time-people are THERE for meetings, not just in the room, but paying attention, ignoring Blackberries, interacting, brainstorming. But laughing, joking, supporting. It's so...awesome.
Had to get the Honda done-turns out the reason the D light has been flashing from time to time is the pressure plate for the 4th gear was bad - fixed that. New timing belt/water pump - fixed that. New sway bars and bushings (bushels? Who cares?) in the front - fixed that. Alignment tossed in, with an oil change. $1250. How fun. However, it does feel like driving a brand new car. I took the Audi into work yesterday, and I did not like that...it's too small, too low, to commute in - I kept getting cut off. NO ONE cuts me off in my uber tough Honda Pilot, dude.
Got a call yesterday that Kelsey was at a friend's house after school, and her knee popped again. Turns out she did a cartwheel, landed with her leg not quite straight, and her knee popped out. It's swollen funny, and hot, and while she can bear weight on it, it's causing a lot of pain for her. She has an appt. at 1:45 with her surgeon today-I managed to get a call in while standing in the hall yesterday, and I was very happy to hear they called back and set up an appt. immediately. I admit the one tough thing about this job is also the thing that is so amazing, that I'm so "in demand" right now that it feels like I go into a closet for 8 hours with little to no access to the outside world (and no I'm not just talking about everythign they block there, including the stuff they want me to market to LOL) - so today Glenn is going to drive her to the doctors, and yesterday he happened to be off and was home. He isn't at all like me when it comes to reacting to injury and helping when hurt - and it hurt her feelings yesterday, and made her push herself too much rather than ask for help (ie. to get her to stop worrying, he tells her it's nothing, she just needs to ice it, when she thinks she needs to go to the ER, so she feels like she's overreacting, etc). And I feel very helpless that I can't go today, but she'll be fine, she's the first person to tell me that when we talk about it. You know she's hurting - I got hugs and cuddles last night on the couch. =(
Oh. And a doctor's office called for me yesterday, but Kelsey only took the number down on her hand...and it smudged. She has no idea who it was. LOL. Sad that it could be so many, huh?
Rain again. It's doing nothing for my hair. *sob*
