the interview: went ok, it would just be me and this one guy working together. not what i pictured but we'll see what comes of it.
the back, neck, shoulder: feeling better with alot of advil. and many bubble baths. and the whining helps too.
the fat: i started the stupid south beach diet. so far it's very expensive, but not painful. and the sugar free candies have a warning label that says "excessive consumption may have a laxative effect" i think that's my favorite part of this experience. i haven't decided what to do about the thai lady who keeps bringing me iced tea. how can i decline thai iced tea? it's going to be difficult.

this picture is of the paramedics cutting mary's husband out of his truck. after he slid on some ice and MOVED A GRANITE BOULDER. a boulder. that was last friday and it's been a bit touch and go. largely he's more ok than he has any right to be considering the accident, but there are some scary complications at the moment and it's been a long week. i've spent more time giving reports on his condition to customers, neighbors, the fedex man and everyone else who knows and cares about them than i have been making deposits.
