annathepiper-0: The word in from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ravyngyngvar is that it'll take weeks to get his passport renewed, so at this point his only option is to see if our embassy will fork over a U.S. tourist visa for him to come on over here and visit us. For extra added bonus annoyance points, they only take telephone calls between 2-4. Except on Wednesday. So he won't be able to find out anything before tomorrow at best anyway. Gah!
-1: The foot I fell on last night is still a trifle tender, and just enough swollen on my toe and just beneath it that it throws my walking off a bit. It doesn't look too bad right now, but there's a bit of discoloration that I strongly suspect is going to be a bruise pretty soon. Sigh. Perhaps tonight's workout will have to be with the weights.
+/-2: With no Yngvar showing up this week, looks like I get to work on Friday and Monday after all. I told my lead about this just now in email, to which he replied, "Look on the bright side: you get to be around the lot of us on Friday and Monday. Yeah, yeah, I know – it's hard to curb the kind of excitement this brings to a person. =)" I told him indeed, I may swoon from the rapture. I mean, it's no Great Big Sea concert anticipation swoonage, but oh joy, oh glee, the fun and excitement of testing on Longhorn!
(Well okay, mostly I'll just be relieved that I'll have a full paycheck this week. Same diff.)
+3: In lighter news, today is the birthday of Mr. Harrison Ford. He is 63. I raise a glass (well, my can of diet Mountain Dew, at least) in his honor. Though I do gently remind him that he is in fact 63--so maybe he's just a tad too old to still be thinking about a new Indiana Jones flick--Dr. Jones and Han Solo are still two of my prototypical original swoonable heroes. And after having just seen Revenge of the Sith, I appreciate Han all the more. Perhaps I shall watch The Empire Strikes Back in Mr. Ford's honor some time this week.
Monday miles: 1.5
Tuesday miles: 1.0
Miles out of Hobbiton: 240.5
Miles to Rivendell: 217.5
