I've been feeling lousy since New Year's Day but yesterday was the first day in a while that I didn't feel like taking a pill for something and was (mostly) coherent and actually managed to get a few useful things done. Today I'm feeling pretty good, too--actually had a good night's sleep for a change ( Read more... )

The most awesome, bestest thing about 2007 was that citabria said "Yes!". This was closely followed by buying the condo--especially the part where both citabria and I are living in it. :-D

So, 2007...

• January: Well, citabria had a bucket in her lap for the New Year, but about 30 minutes into it, she seems to be feeling much better.
• February: I should be posting about stuff ( Read more... )

citabria and I are settling into the condominium steadily. As in, the boxes are disappearing steadily. And the floorboards aren't creaking as much under the load ( Read more... )

Really, this could be a backstory for one of those wedding shows. (I've seen enough of them this week.) Arranging a wedding when the bride and groom live two hundred miles apart is challenging enough, but the bride also had to schedule neck surgery a year in advance of their date. Still, still in her cervical collar, she took her groom to the ( Read more... )

But insomnia combined with making sure citabria is getting the meds she needs to sleep are keeping me awake ( Read more... )

citabria is feeling much better today. My guess is because she got the nurse to tell her she can start taking her diclofenac prescription again (which she had had to stop for ten days before her surgery). She was up and walking around a bit. And on the phone. And doing several things without moaning. Yay ( Read more... )

So, part of citabria's recovery consists of catching up on all of the wedding shows on her DVR. Fortunately, we seem to agree on everything that we've seen so far. (As in "that's cool" or "no, no way".) There's this one show on TLC called Wedding Altered that seems designed to find out which brides and grooms should not marry because said grooms ( ( Read more... )

citabria has been doing a lot of investigating into planning our wedding, and that's bound to increase as time goes on. (Mostly, I just keep my limbs out of reach to avoid losing fingers or toes. :-D After all, Miss Manners points out that the bridegroom has a small, but not entirely superfluous role in these events ( Read more... )

( Looking backwards for a few weeks. )

Apparently this is one of two burning questions that my relatives have when they heard about our engagement. Of course, this gets into the conflict between pissing off only one family or group of friends or pissing everyone off. In talking with my Dad the other day, I told him that citabria is doing a lot of research on the subject and so far we have three ( Read more... )
