Adventure Day

Saturday went much as planned. We had Christmas dinners with two separate sets of friends, and spent most of the day in the car.

Sunday started in urgent care. For a change, Bryon has some issues, and he wasn’t sure if they were internal or external. The good news is that it appears that he has pulled muscles, so there will be no exciting medications or hernia surgery. It took us about an hour and a half to find out. Making good use of the time, I finished Ill Wind by Rachel Caine and started Body Bags by Christopher Golden.

We had another social day with another friend. I suggested maybe we should go home and rest, but Bryon was keen to keep our obligation. You could tell when the Advil wore off, because he became Mr. Cranky Pants. We went to see Delgo. It won a lot of European animation awards, and we discovered that Europeans have a much lower standard for animation than we do. It was like watching watered down Reboot, alas.

Of course, while we were watching the movie, the ice storm hit. We inched through Cedar Rapids and on home after a turkey carcass pickup and a grocery store run. At least the weather hadn’t hit our part of the state badly.

More bad weather this week! Will I get my bionic lashes tomorrow? Will the English department move on Thursday? Stay tuned.

So, today my plan is to finish the wig article revision, using tomorrow night to match up pictures. Then a department meeting, the few remaining finals, and my release from the bone doctor, if he likes the pictures of my healed arm.

Um…book group tonight! There will be some reporting on what people think of Goblin Quest.
