Ouch!

I know, I haven't posted in a really long time. Nothing going on I guess. Work is busy and I've been trying to have some balance around that while still getting things done. I think I did a good job of it in August. I billed close to 200 hours but didn't feel like I was killing myself working all the time. I did it by working a few hours every weekend - which isn't my favorite thing to do, but I have sort of had to in order to keep up while my colleague is on maternity leave.

On another note, I am having surgery on my right foot on Friday, which I am not looking forward to and am completely obsessed with and making myself miserable over. It sucks on so many levels including the fact that I won't be able to drive for 4 weeks. I guess on the up side though, I'll be working from home for as long as it takes to heal. Well, actually I will probably take advantage of it and work from home for a little longer than is necessary. It hurts when I walk and sometimes when I'm not walking and I just can't take the pain anymore so I have to get it fixed.

My very good friend Nina is coming to stay with me for a few days after the surgery. Which I am beyond grateful for. More than anything, I just don't want to be alone afterwards. I just want someone to be here with me. I could probably take care of myself, if I had to. I mean I'm completely self-sufficient and totally independent otherwise, but for some reason I just really want someone to be here with me and if it could be anyone, I would want it to be her. Of course I would never have asked for her help. She sort of offered by just getting a plane ticket because she is awesome like that.
