january 9

ok, so.....i have to work 5 days in a row this week......a feat i have not been required to accomplish in weeks.....what with the numerous holidays and bonus days.......thankfully......i have monday off for mlk day....and my friend jane is coming for lunch....no idea who is bringing her.....sister maris or one of her helpers....either way....i have the champagne chilling and a decent idea of a menu......i also have my ladies who drink wine (lwdw) coming on friday afternoon........no idea what i will serve at that event for munchies.....but then i have 4 days to decide.......today was blemished by 1) the continuing pain in my left foot when i walk.......the knowledge that eventually i will have to have someone look at it......to disclose fully the details: i am related to numerous hypochondriacs.....and therefore i shun medical treatment.......to balance out the universe as well as to avoid the slippery slope of diagnosis/treatment/followup for every ache and pain.......i have managed to walk on the treadmill 30 minutes a day for the past 9 days....so it is not broken.....maybe my bones are just old....and the left foot is somehow more sinestre than the right...........sinester is a word i went to great lengths to teach to my daughter....who is also left handed.............not necessarily a useful term to know....but one with a storied past that includes our kind ( the 10% of the world's population that is left-handed)......i had a client make a remark about my left-handedness this afternoon......like it was unusual.....go figure./........this evening i watched back to back episodes of house.....i love that show.......mostly because hugh laurie also played a minor character in sense and sensibility.....you go to love people who do austin......it shows great depth of character.......but this guy house......i just love the irreverence....and the basic meanness.....when asked in the second episode if he did, in fact, like the intern in question, he told her 'no' to her face and walked away.......wow.......he is so at peace with himself he no longer needs to lie............what a gift................which brings me to sunday school teachers remorse........yesterday in my lesson i basically lowrated those who claim to hold the bible in front of themselves like a sword.......because one can justify anystance through non-contextual scripture......and even people who have no love in their hearts claim to use the bible as their guide...at least it seems so these days......ah well......enough of january 9...lets move forward to the 10th and be done with it.............
