downs and ups

weekdays are easier than weekends for me, at present. this afternoon we received word of my teammate's promotion, which i'm especially glad about because in the evaluations i posted before my surgery i suggested that he's ready and that makes it pretty clear that we're all aligned. the past week or so of work has been a real struggle, today had some rough spots but a couple of productive conversations were had that (metaphorically speaking) made the sun come out. gd lost her temper with mr smear this morning, but the outcome of the unpleasant event seems to be relatively positive. i have a million things that need doing, but after a bit of mucking about i'm ready to do my physio exercises and go to bed early again. i'm not sleeping well, but i'm sleeping a bit and i'm grateful for it. gods, i really can't wait to be off crutches.
