Anything can happen day

[rolanni]

I slept in, with the active connivance of the entire Crack Coon Cat Nursing Team, and am slowly getting myself into order.  I don't appear to have acquired any new aches or pains overnight, which is good; the knee is considerably less swollen, which, of course, will make it that much more difficult to remember to give it its tithe of ice and elevation, but I'll do my best.  Good thing I put the footstool back under my desk.  My ribs are kicking up much less of a fuss today than I had feared they would do, which is really more good luck than I deserve, especially as it's supposed to rain today, and! (naturally enough) I expect a shipment of several cases of books which UPS will bring to the porch.  The back-up plan there is a tarp (since it's a covered porch), but I'd really much rather bring them inside.

At three today, I'll be talking to Tony Daniel in his melant'i as host of the Baen Free Radio Hour, on behalf of Liaden Constellation, Volume 3.  I'll let y'all know when that episode is to air.

At the moment, I have two of the Crack Coon Cat Nursing Team on hand -- Belle on the floor next to my chair, and Trooper in his usual place on top the bookcase near the window.  Sprite, I assume, is getting some needed downtime and a little snack before she comes back on duty.  Scrabble has been keeping vigil in Steve's office, emerging for meals and for brushes, and to check in with Management.

Steve writes that he expects to be back in Maine by the end of the week, which is good news.

My plan today, insomuch as I have a plan is to post this blog entry, set a timer for 30 minutes, do some filing, then retire to the comfy chair for ice, elevation, and a couple chapters of my book.  This will give me an opportunity to assess further, though I really do think that, at this point, what I see is what I got.

Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday.

Here, have a parade:  Here's your link.

lovely boxes of books

[countrygirlxxoo.livejournal.com]

If you really want to get the books off the porch (I would, too!), instead of carrying them in and stressing your various hurts, I have a few tips for getting said boxes inside with a minimum of hurt. 1. Scare up a rug about 5 feet long, tip one of the boxes onto one end close to the edge, grasp the other end and drag the box inside tipping said box off in its inside location. Repeat as necessary. 2. Wheel ye olde office chair to the door or as close to the boxes as you can get, put as many boxes on the chair as will fit, and wheel them to their destination. Also, at some future time, you could invest in a small collapsible dolly/luggage carrier. They will carry surprising amounts of weight. I found one at a Goodwill store for $4 or they sell them at most home improvement stores such as Lowe's or Home Depot and always online too. Just search for luggage cart or folding hand truck. They're handier than a pants pocket sometimes.
