I would accept a pay cut if the job is interesting enough. Not sure on the pay for this job - but right now it's a big increase on nothing

Crap.

Literally.


I was swimming and ran into a turd left by one of the toddlers in the adjacent lane. I still don't feel clean!!


And the brickie has just told us we need more bricks to finish the pool wall - another $250 on top of the $1900 he is charging.

I think another 3 weeks in this full leg brace is going to send me loopy. Healing well and can bend to about 85 degrees now, nearly 4 weeks out from the surgery but getting very frustrated that I can't drive, or do stuff without crutches. Have at least got down to one in the house so I can carry coffee and lunch through to a comfy seat.

As an indicator of my frame of mind, I've found that I can make a smiley face out of my scars. With the 5 I have this time, I now have 2 vertical lines for eyes, 2 ears, a big long vertical nose and then my nearly faded bramble scar as a lopsided smile.....oh, and all the port holes are freckles I decided.....

I feel I am becoming more like Miranda every day......

That made me smile. Tick off each day as you manage it and reward yourself at the end of each week for getting through it. But when the brace comes off don't go mad!!!
