... from completing my board recertification thingymajig for 2008. won't THAT be nice, not to have to take the boards in 2012 but to have a luxurious seven more years of ignorance, malpractice, incompetence, etc. before anyone finds out.
complaints: i am ready to howl, i am so tired of my nose being stuffed up. i am officially a mouth breather. also i fell down yesterday while running and bashed myself up - i was leaping in what was intended to be sort of an acrobatic graceful way over a low fence that turned out to be about an inch less low than i had planned on, and splat! bruises on right leg, left hand, and ego.
celebrations: proud owner of a new dining room table and chairs, which i will go and pick up today. actually, i feel a bit ambivalent about this. it is Stuff, which in general i try and avoid accumulating, except i do accumulate it, and this is probably the largest heaviest Stuff i will have accumulated possibly ever, except for my house. and school loans, which weigh nothing in the material world, but carry some psychological heft. the last time i checked my loan balance online, the website listed it in british pounds (somewhere i had evidently put "UK english" as a language preference in my settings) which initially scared the crap out of me because i assumed that the website had been smart enough to do the actual currency conversion and that somehow my loans had doubled in size thanks to the crappy economy, but then i realized that the student loan website in't that sophisticated. i only mention it because it was sort of symbolic to see my loans expressed in weight terms. 20,000 pounds of loan. hm. better than 20,000 pounds of nuclear waste, that's for sure. anyway. my new table i think is very nice - i hope it fits in my house. the temptation will be NOT to start ripping the chair upholstery apart, because i have way better things to be doing with my time, like writing a blog at 4:30 in the morning.
