All Things Woompty

And she's back

And just like that, it's December all over again, and you know what that means...Holidailies! Good thing I always have plenty to say.

Do you know what parkour is? I didn't either, until Kevin explained it to me last Saturday night. I cannot hear that word without laughing out loud anymore, because not half an hour after he explained it to me, I had convinced my slightly inebriated (or in her words, totally lit) mother-in-law to not only say but shout "I'm gonna parkour this bitch!" while walking the streets of downtown Sacramento. And that was not even the most awesome part of Thanksgiving.

The most awesome part was when my mother-in-law decided to yell at a pony ride lady, and the pony ride lady almost popped her one. I'm beginning to think that she's going to end up as one of those cranky old ladies who's always getting yelled at by the police because she's been harrassing the neighbors too much. But that's okay, because I happen to adore my mother-in-law and that's more than a lot of people can say.

In other news, I regained use of the fingers on my left hand last week when I got my new (and last!) cast. Still no thumb use but at least now I can type, which is really good news considering that I need to do a bunch of homework for my class at work before the 6th.

Next week I get to shift to a removable plastic splint and start physical therapy. Looks like I might actually get back into the office part time on the 11th, which I have mixed feelings on. I'm finally able to enjoy my time off since I've got the shorter cast on but I need some stimulation other than reruns of Law & Order, so in the end it'll be good to be back at work.

Besides, I've got tons of clothes that I haven't been able to wear for a month and a half. I miss dressing like a grownup.
