10:08 pm - Interesting...
Ganked from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.2) nqllisi and geogal.
Be honest.
Why am I on your friends list?
Answer and post this in your journal.
Good to be back, is the only thing I can say.
Current Mood:  curious

09:42 pm - Better
OK, I'm better. I can walk. I can stand. I can almost sit, at least for short moments. I was at the chiropractor Tuesday and Wednesday, and I even spent a few hours - standing, mind you - at work Wednesday. And today is a Holiday, thank God.
In theory, I'll be a few hours at work tomorrow, and so, in theory, I'll be there full time from Monday. We'll see.
In the mean time, I'm killing time with my computer on my belly, split screen: West Wing fanfic to the right, and re-watching actual West Wing on the left. I can live with that. :)
My greatest worry is my flight for China in only nine days. OK, it's business class chairs and all, but it may become a hard flight. Still, I'm willing to risk, it, because I really, really want to go. The high point of the year, professionally. I hope.
Current Location: Oslo

10:20 am - Incapacitated - in bed
My "life away from keyboard" ™ has been way to much like Josh's (esp. in the West wing episode ending with him going on vacation) for me to post here for a year or two. But here I am, hardly able to walk, in bed. Friday morning I coughed in a bad angle, and all of a sudden a was on the floor, screaming in pain. Couldn't stand, couldn't walk.
Now, two days later, I am able to walk to the toilet, which is progress, I suppose.
Anyway: long time, no see...

10:36 pm - Withdrawal symptoms
Oh, shit. Withdrawal symptoms. I am really having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that the dark side won. Not only nationally, but in all the close Senate races in Colorado, Kentucky, Alaska, North Carolina, Lousiana and Florida. My reaction is a tendency at withdrawing from sites where US politics come up. Not completely, but to a large degree. I need to make sure everything is normal where I love my physical life.
Another trip across the pond was very, very much on my agenda for the next four years. My kids want to go, mostly for the Disney-world aspect, and I want to drive around and explore.
But now I cannot bring myself do to it. I literally long for a personal boycott the red states. I'll get over it, but it is just how I feel right now.
And, yet, I know from my last visit in the US, I had my best time in the south (if Virginia still counts), nice warm people, and all.
Oh, I'm bumbling. I need to sleep.

10:06 pm - Breaking arms
Just Friday my little daughter got her cast removed after having broken her arm, and what happens today? My son almost breaks his arm, too. The X-ray showed it was "almost OK", he is to keep the arm in that CC-thing around his neck, and check back to the ER in 3 days. Ahh, the thrills of active children....

12:32 am
Cool, I'm onto my new computer, with Firefox browser, plug-in for livejournaling and all.
New job: Good. I'm the deputy in the department, but my new boss called in sick the second day I was there, and stayed away for a week, talk of instant on the job training as acting head of department.
He was back today, and I got a better sense of what my real job will be. The best part is not being at work in my head after I come home.

12:34 am - Long time...|
Dear diary and friends,
I haven't written in a looooong time. Things have been busy. But things are good as well.
I'm between jobs now, i.e. I have 2 days left in my current job, and will begin in a new one Friday. A lot better paid, less work to do, more normal hours, leadership responsibilities. I think I can live with that. It will last for 8 months, then I'll take it from there.
And I hope I'll see you more, with the winter coming and all.
