The amount of work, interview, phone calls, emails, etc. that went into this VERY short article...
Ah well, I don't know.

how lucky can a girl get?

I have THE GREATEST friends.
So first of all, my car is broken and I need a ride from Livingston to Bozeman to pick up the rental. Ssej hops up and says sure. Spent the day running errands - Ssej picks up medicine for "Drool" the cat (one friend), we return and pick up and return library books (for another friend), and have a House-watching appetizer-filled evening for Allie's birthday. (sans House - it's moved to Friday)
Right now Heidi and Allie are sniggled on the couch under a down blanket. Em has Callie at her feet, and Ssej and I are on separate computers.
A perfect Monday.

broken knee, broken car

Well, I guess things could be worse.
Apparently I have a "derangement of the post medial meniscus" meaning I ripped up some of the cartilage in my left knee. One week of knee brace, a cane (trekking pole in my case), and a Vicodin scrip - wait, does this sound like someone we know an love? Paging Dr. Gregory House...
Then we will re-evaluate.
Either more of the same, or in for an MRI and possible surgery.
Hunting season is definitely in question at this point, and I'm VERY upset about that.

Next big fun.
Taking recycling in, got backed into by government employee in government vehicle. Govt. does not carry regular insurance - instead you file a tort claim. (isn't that a dessert?) Joyful. Car is still driveable, but Ellie the Element, aka the TARDIS, is my good friend and now we are both broken.
I'm certainly feeling sorry for myself today.

so I know the big news is of Obama...

...but you need to get an update on our weather for the year.
dead of Winter (snow, wind, snow, wind) = November - April
Spring (rainy, chilly) = May, June, July
Summer (warm to hot days, chilly nights) = August, September
WINTER (snow, wind, snow wind) = 30 September
One week later? low of -1F/-18C
High tomorrow? 31F/-1C

I want to cry.
