When I was a kid, there was a WaCkY PiZzA Lunchable: instead of three "pepperoni" "pizzas" you got two cheese "pizzas" and one with chocolate frosting and M&Ms
And it's all I want.

Slept without the brace, showered without the immobilizer, put socks on with my own two hands and no disability aid!
Big day for Courtney:
Good news at today's X-rays: nearly healed, can walk with 20° flexion on the brace (up from 0°), probably be out of it by the end of January, very likely without PT!
Building got a new hot water heater that doesn't leak all over the basement too!
Work was nice!

I have a real, live weekend off coming up - a consecutive Saturday and Sunday with no work scheduled. This has not happened to me in years, maybe not ever.
Any Makers'/Vintage Markets in Portland tomorrow or the day after I could check out? Do you wanna do something cool with me?
