I realized the other day that I really need to get another hobby because when the most exciting thing going on in one's life is doctor's appointments and work dramas, it's time to get a life.
But in the meantime, how about we talk about work dramas and doctor's appointments?
Okay, not really because there's not much to say about either of them. The wrist is still broken (seriously, I saw the X-ray and it's literally still broken but all my surgeon had to say about that was a casual "Well, it was a REALLY BAD BREAK" so I'm not too worried about it), and I've been having to do a hell of a lot of damage control thanks to my (thankfully) now ex-assistant/office clerk (which has kept me more than a little busy). On the good side, I'm back to work 6 hours a day and I'm actually liking my job again so color me surprised as all hell.
(Speaking of hell, I got a jury summons today. I'm totally not going to go either, because I have a secret weapon way to get out of it thanks to our vast bowling network. And to think we thought we were just bowling for the fun of it.)
Anyway, I'm looking into starting my volunteering again. I decided while I was out on disability that once we leave California, I'd like us to look into being foster parents. No, we still don't want kids of our own, but that doesn't mean I don't think we could do some good for kids whose parents didn't think out the whole parent thing before creating them. Right now is not the best time for it, but I still want to start helping. The foster care system is a mess, and there's thousands more kids who aren't in foster care but still need some serious help to keep themselves out of trouble. So for now I'm going to look into doing the Big Sister thing. I figure it'll be a good way to get back into volunteering.
At the very least, it'll give me something more interesting to write about.

This #$%& thing better work this time.
First, Merry, Happy, etc.
Second: Sorry to hear about your wrist's maddening progress. 18 months of casts, rehab, surgery, more rehab to patch my knee back together...oy. Tons of sympathy.
Third: I adore you and your hubby as much as ever, even if I've a lurky whiny twerp. Mwah! ~LA
Damn that wrist! How dare it still be broken? And? I'd love to have you as a Big Sister. You'll be wonderful, and you won't have to get up in the middle of the night!
=/ jury duty sucks, but it is one of teh most important things you can ever do. and you will never have more power then during this time. I really do recomend you rethink ditching jury duty.
Hi, long time lurker, first time commenter.
I've vowed to become less lurker-ish (rhymes with stalker-ish) this year, when it comes to blogs. Your's is one of my faves, and I've been following it since old diary-x days.
So hi.
Megan :)
