Silly Site o' the Day

Yesterday was so emotionally draining, between having to go on a new antibiotic regimen for an infection that the fatphobic doctor insists is obesity-related just she thinks like every single damn thing is obesity-related (no matter how many times I say, "Doctor. FOUR POUNDS. That's IT between last year and this year. That's not what's made a difference in my readings. I know what's caused the difference. Enforced inactivity due to pain is what's caused the difference. That's why I asked for the PT referral. The pain eases, I start walking and exercising again, the readings get better. It's. Not. A. Weight. Issue." it's of no avail) and spending over half a day on changing my boss' and his wife's flights (I should be grateful, it means three more days of them not being around) and taking care of other unpaid perso-- gah, I sound like a broken record. Yesterday wasn't a good day. It was a good evening, though, as always I had a great time live-blogging at Lance's place while Robin kibbitzed. I just wish there hadn't been at least four commercials and one post intro that made me cringe at their probably-unintended sexism. Maybe I'm just being oversensitive. Yeah, that's never happened before!

Anyway, it looks to be an absolutely gorgeous weekend, and to kick it off I'm going to attempt to spite the sciatica, walking stick on one side and linking with Robin's arm on the other, by strolling to the all-you-can-eat sushi place after I get home. It's about three quarters of a mile each way, only a 3-minute drive but in my condition probably 15-20 minutes of walking there and a half hour back, as the return trip is mostly uphill and I'll be, um, full of sushi. That should prepare me for walking around MoCCA this weekend. Wish I had the wherewithall to go to the Mermaid Parade as well tomorrow, but that'd be way pushing it. Hope y'all have some nice weekend plans! Maybe you can become a Paloozahead performer (via Gerard)...
