1. So, every so often I have a day at the Sane Branch that rivals the Realm of Pain for pure customer insanity. A day where every customer seems to be insane, or just angry for no good reason. Yesterday was one of those days, and it reminded me how rare those days are, away from the ROP. Small blessings, yes, but a reminder that it used to ALWAYS be that bad made me appreciate the usually-sane branch even more.

2.  You guys.  You all rock.  Sarah totally nailed my weird butt-kink pain yesterday.  And I checked with Dr. Google, and yeah – that’s absolutely what this is.  And the exercises recommended to stabilize that “joint” provide temporary relief, and I hope that if I stay with it, might even make it go away.  And I never would have figured that out on my own.  And I wouldn’t have bothered to go get it properly diagnosed because I’m a martyr like that.  But now I’ll be painfree, and better yet, I KNOW what it is that hurts.  Life is good.  Blogging is good.  Getting comments from intelligent women who know their stuff is WONDERFUL.

3.  Doing back exercises on the floor is something that my dog does not understand.  Or rather, she understands perfectly that I’m playing with her, and she’s helping by moving to the far end of he room, running at me and then leaping over me with each repetition.  Silly circus dog.

4.  It’s a coffee morning.  Praise all that is.

5.  I’m still in a no-weight-gain state of being, which isn’t exactly good, but which does make it ok for me to eat a bit more than I have been.  Now that it’s milkshake season, that leeway is a really nice thing…
