May you live in interesting times...
Mood:
not sure
The Chinese use this saying as a curse - and with good reason. I guess I shouldn’t bitch about having a boring life. Today I got to work and my friend and co-worker Laura wasn’t in, and nobody knew why - except her boss who said that she “was not at liberty to say”. To compound matters, her backup was on vacation. Now, Laura’s the type of gal who would drag herself in if it were just a minor thing, so I immediately thought the worst.
I got in touch with her sister-in-law who confirmed that she was okay and at home. Turns out that it was probably a gout attack that struck her Saturday night. She thought that she’d broken her ankle and went to the ER, the pain was so excruciating. Now she gets to stay home for a couple of days blissfully stoned on painkillers.
(Reminder: Add gout to the list of painful things I hope I never experience. Right up there with kidney stones. Cross off nipple piercing.)
In happier news, my kid sister has (FINALLY!) graduated from college. With a 4.0 even!!!
W00t! She’s planned a big get-together parTAY in Niagara Falls next month. Should be loads of fun, I’m looking forward to it.
