Notes
My cholesterol, which had never been tested, was 169. So that’s good. I am considering attempting to make peace with this guy. I am not the grudge-holding type, and I could have used his help this coming weekend when I will be voice interpreting a leather contest alone. He has turned up on the BLeGIT … Continue reading
Staff Meeting and Workshop
Tonight is my company’s quarterly staff meeting in Silver Spring; every three months we have to go sit and listen to droning administrative people for three hours. I have never really been close to the office environment because I am offsite in Alexandria all the time, so these meetings are kind of awkward for me … Continue reading

I made it through the interpreting gig without any major incidents; I had a nice chair (but high, like a stool) to sit on and I managed to keep going even … Continue reading
My Foot
So, um, I think I just broke my foot. Or something. I was going down the stairs and on the next to the last one I slipped, hit my foot on the last one, heard a snap, and fell on the ground. I immediately began hollering; fortunately MK&R were awake so I didn’t wake anybody … Continue reading
Dental Repair
Back in April, I had a small cavity patched on the left side of my mouth. Last week it started hurting in exactly the same spot, so I assumed something went wrong. I made an appointment and they told me they probably couldn’t fix it the same day and I would have to come back, … Continue reading
