except not. i had PT and went to Safeway. felt not horrifically painful, so i left my cane at home. it was a nice i dea at the time. i'm paying for it now. huuuuurt (the extra u's denote extra pain) like hell now. took my meds and have settled in for a nap or something. only to have been thwarted! they're cutting down an old tree (teme!!) that sits between our next door neighboor's backyard and ours, so they can put in the new fence. so now they're digging out the stump. LOUD NOISES! no sleep for me...until they finish.



also, ran into a friend form the old days (eg, days before i got sick) at Safeway, at th deli counter of all places. turn out his wife is chronically ill too, they say she has Small Fiber Neuropathy (one of the things i have!!)...i recommended the Cleveland Clinic after he told me she was rejected by Mayo. well, Mayo sucks. Cleveland is better, because...say it with me...Cleveland Rocks! okay, i'm a dweeb. but the care i recieved there was really good. so we're all going to try to meet up for coffee some weekend soon. and i was serious when i told him that i wanted to hang out and meet his wife. i hate it when you run into an old friend and you say stuff like that because that's what's expected of you to say but no one ever really means it.

just like "how are you?"


damn, i really hate that question. and my plaster still isn't setting, so i think i fucked up my wedging-bat royally! i threw a little yesterday on my very own wheel, named Harry. Dad even took some pictures, so if there's any interest in seeing pics of me throwing on the wheel, lemme know and i'll post 'em. of course, i'm out of practice, so i everything i threw was pretty crappy, but i had a good time and it was a lovely day despite the humidity.


i hurt and topamax is making my hads numb, so i've gotta stop. catch you hepcats laters...
