ceebeegeeI'm getting an iPad! My stepmother bought a new one so she's giving me her old one--it's first generation but I WILL TAKE IT. So, so excited! Now I can read LOTS of books on the train and they won't be heavy, and I can read the newspaper and it won't get ink all over my fingers and I can play games and create lovely pictures--YAAAAAAAY.
Also, I got an interim phone Wednesday night, a crappy little Rumor. This is just until the iPhone 5 comes out next month. Right now I am laboriously adding contacts, just the ones I figure I'll need for the next few weeks.
I woke up this morning with a terrible stomachache--I actually thought I might have to call in sick, but it went away after about 15 minutes. Which is good--I don't want to miss too much work since I have some medical stuff coming up. I went to the podiatrist a few weeks ago after one especially bad session of foot pain. I have terrible feet--they're practically flat and they have bunions, both of which conditions sometimes cause me agony. Last month I came home from Pirates rehearsal, having worn new Keds flats which had elastic around the top, in agony. My feet only started feeling better after a couple of hours in three layers of socks and the thickets slippers I have. So anyway, went to the doctor and he and I discussed bunion surgery. Obviously you have to do both feet, but you can't do them at the same time, but you also have to try to get it into one calendar year (so you don't have to start over with a new deductible). So it looks like I'll be doing it right after Thanksgiving and then again right after Xmas.
I've been polishing up my French with Susan (she majored in French). She's given me a couple of her workbooks, and my homework is usually to conjugate a few verbs, look up a few phrases, and then write a couple of paragraphs on something. Then when we get together we have long conversations complètement en français. C'est fantastique! Ju suis assez fière de moi--c'est difficile pour discuter de l'histoire en français, especialement quand on parle des vicissitudes religieuse du Roi Henri VIII. Mes études français sont pour mon application a venir pour l'université supérieure--on doit être conversationnelle ou meillure en un langue médiévale parce que lire les textes anciens. Quelle surprise, le monde entier médiévale ne parlaient pas anglais! C'est dommage :)
Also, I want to have another Drunken Knitting session soon. I'm thinking of either next Saturday (9/2) or the following satirday (9/9). It'll be at my place. Hit me up if you're interested.
