It's not your fault, Gnu!!!

Tom's recovery is a continuing saga...full of little annoyances (and bigger annoyances). And it's usually the stupid stuff that nobody thinks about that's the most annoying.

It's a long haul for Tom -- no weight on the ankle for AT LEAST another month. (His next appointment with Dr. Blitzer is July 6th.) My part in it all just got a wee bit easier -- I signed up for social security, handed in my letter of resignation effective June 21, but due to the new computer system and vacation time owed, etc., last Tuesday was my last day of work. So now I HAVE the time to take his boot off twice a day and slather and massage Tom's leg, and do everything else and not get testy cuz I'm overstressed and have no down time. I don't know if I'm officially retired until June 21st, but I'm effectively retired and just starting to figure out how to enjoy it.

And today I completed another trip around the sun, so we're off in a bit to have my birthday dinner at Newick's (local seafood restaurant on Great Bay) and get my 10 bucks off. They, at least, have good handicapped access.
