 um&#8230;<br \/>\ni&#8217;ve been going to the physiotherapist for the last couple of weeks to rehabilitate my injured knee.  that&#8217;s been fun.  no, really!  i&#8217;m almost inspired to start a new blog entitled &#8220;Tales from the Physiotherapist&#8221; because every time i go, there seems to be one stand out comment or situation which practically begs to be blogged.  like monday, when he came at me with a bottle of gel, a plunger and told me not to be nervous.  i couldn&#8217;t make this shit up if i wanted to!<br \/>\nknitting has slowed down considerably, but i&#8217;m still obsessed with wrist warmers.  now that i&#8217;ve learned a couple new tricks and found some ridiculously yummy wool (so cheap!  at wal-mart!), i&#8217;m trying to knit unblemished pairs now.  there&#8217;s just something awesome about using five double-pointed needle at the same time.  to quote the lovely mindy:  it&#8217;s danger craft!<br \/>\ni got the chance to borrow a co-worker&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0002EMY9Y\/ref=nosim\/albinogiraffe-20\">SB-600 speedlight flash<\/a> for a weekend.  while i still want one, the time with it mostly served to remind me that it&#8217;s not just fancy gear which makes for awesome photos.  *sigh*  i&#8217;m not so much with the awesome photo-making these days.  i&#8217;m blaming the winter.  soon, there will be more outside time.  especially once my knee, other knee and feet are feeling better.<br \/>\nfiled my taxes, got my return, spent the money.<br \/>\nliselotte has been acting weird and making scary noises.  she goes in for a fuel filter replacement tomorrow. i hope it&#8217;s a cheap and easy solution to a troubling problem.  cross your fingers for me!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yaletowngallery.com\/artists\/heather_logan\/\">my photo<\/a> didn&#8217;t sell, but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yaletowngallery.com\/artists\/christopher_evans\/\">my boyfriend&#8217;s<\/a> did!  the whole exhibition experience was nerve-wracking and weird.  i&#8217;ll probably sumbit again, but just not go to the opening night schmooze fest.  that was exhausting.  hated it.<br \/>\ni guess that&#8217;s it.<br \/>\noh, my boss quit.  friday was his last day.  i was so distraught by the end of the day that when he came into my office to finally say goodbye, i couldn&#8217;t say a word.  i just barely managed to hug him while trying not to sob hysterically.  he&#8230; yeah.  he was a great boss and a great guy and i&#8217;m not the only person who will miss him immensely both now and far into the future.  it sucked.  a lot.<br \/>\ntomorrow&#8217;s a half-day, then i&#8217;m hopping on the ferry to go spend easter weekend with the maternal unit (hi mom!) and our adopted family member, karen.  i forsee:  shopping, eating, tv, laughter, sarcasm and hugs.  it&#8217;ll be just what the doctor ordered.<br \/>\nso, yeah.  you&#8217;re fully updated on the rich and full life of me.  are you sated?   i&#8217;m feeling a little spent, myself.  that was a lot of words for someone who doesn&#8217;t type much anymore.  go chomp the ears off some chocolate bunnies for me and i&#8217;ll try to put more characters on your screen a little more often.  &#8216;kay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>oh, hey! how&#8217;s it going?
