Jan. 6th, 2014 08:03 pmYay, I can lift things (up to 15 lb, until I think I can lift more than that)! The surgeon said "Go have a life!", so I intend to. (I meant to come home and pick up Snip off the floor instantly, because she hates that and I owe her one for waking me up four times last night, but I missed my chance.)
Apparently the scale wasn't lying last week, because this week it said 151.8. The End Is Nigh! And not before time either; today wasn't a mess, but it was intense (first day back and functional after vacation, and three or four Major Projects to be dealt with) and I'm beat. Now that I can drink again, I think I might have to go out for a drink on Wednesday. I'm mostly writing this right now to keep myself from going to bed at 8:00.
On the subject of Major Projects, sending a Save the Date email to people in at least six or seven different countries for a CE course to be held in April, before the CE committee has officially approved the existence of the course, is a tad bit nervewracking. Fortunately the CE committee got itself in gear and approved the course an hour after I sent the Save the Date email, so anyone who wants more information can actually be sent it. (And I got Outlook to stop having a fit over one of the lists of people I was trying to send the email to. Fortunately it was the 70-person list, not the 90-person list.) And I got the latest tutorial course's cases printed out and copied. Now all I have to worry about this week is the evaluations for the restorative dentistry course that ended in December, and the faculty retreat in February, and the MedEdPortal submission I was trying to get done in December and couldn't. Apparently it used to be easier to submit things there, but now they want all sorts of membership info I don't have handy since I don't have a membership (my boss does).
I don't think Kerala is going to happen in February. It might happen in March, but there are too many things, work-related and otherwise, that have to happen between now and February. Maybe Kerala happens next March and something closer to home (but warm, thank you) happens this February. I don't know yet. I do know that the mere idea of spending most of 24 hours on planes or in airports is making me tired, though. If I had a *pop*-you're-elsewhere cloak, and could tell it which elsewhere I meant, going on vacation would be easier.
