Or insanity, depending on how you look at it. I am in at stupid o’clock because there is a pit party before the first show. It’s OK, I obviously have my laptop and an internet connection, so if nothing else I can do random searches for things to see where it takes me. Sometimes that can be fun.

But not in the fun way. First phone call of the day from the occupational health office telling me my records will be available for me to pick up on Friday. Excellent! Second call from the lawyer, wherein I found out he’s not very hopeful I might win my appeal, and doesn’t recommend hiring him or anyone to fight it. Not so excellent. Will now spend the rest of the day contemplating career choices that will allow me to stay on crutches forever, and praying for health care reform so pre-existing conditions no longer automatically exclude you from coverage.

So two days in a row I’ve had meetings at my office followed by 847 other things to do. Not a problem, except for the part where I thought I had made a post this morning before I left, having confused yesterday with today. Sorry about that!

It’s almost blinding me, but I refuse to close the shades. This much sunshine in mid-February is practically unheard-of in these parts, so it’s best to enjoy it no matter how much it hurts glaring off the snow. It’s amazing how a little thing like bright, natural light can make you feel years younger and more hopeful about the future.
