You mean that is not Photo Shopped?

I don't know, maybe it is. I don't know much about the whole photo shop thing. Good thing, too, I know I'd get my ash in trouble if I knew how to do that.

But is sure is a cute dog.

One benefit of being self employed, I can ditch work for the day just because.

Very sorry to hear. What kind of surgery did you have?

Technically it's harder. Rather than simply having to come up with a good excuse for not showing up to work. Now you have to call yourself in your office and lecture yourself on punctuality while at the same time decide whether or not to write yourself up. I wish you luck. :D

nothing major, arthroscopic to fix a meniscus tear, then a cortisone shot to the hip. I was told it would be 4 to 6 weeks, possibly 8 to recover. I just discovered that did not mean back to normal. Reading about that today it said 4 to 6 months. I see the MD tomorrow and I will talk to him about it

I know age is a big factor in knee recovery. Had a similar surgery in my late 20's and bounced right back. I had another surgery about 10 years later and the recovery was totally different.

Had a meeting with myself about it today.

I made me a coffee and watched the highlights from yesterday's stage on the tdf.

That was about it really.

You made you a coffee? Where do you get off treating you like that? You're a highly skilled worker, and shouldn't be demeaned by being asked to make coffee.

That's nothing, you should see the sort of innuendo and inappropriate advances I have to put up with from myself...

I really should quit, but that would mean getting a real job - and that's something I really don't want.

Tell me about it, I'm pushing 60 and things do not heal anywhere near like they use to in my 20s and 30s

Tell yourself "no" means "no"... unless you think yourself is cute and maybe you should give yourself another chance. :p
