My first-ever-in-my-whole-life two-week paid vacation starts now. :-) It would have started at noon, when I left work, but first I had to:

1) Go to Kaiser and get a thyroid ultrasound
2) Go home and shower and eat
3) Go to my old doctor and get a copy of my records because he hadn't sent them to Kaiser yet
4) Go back to Kaiser and see my doctor about the new hip/back pain (he's assuming bursitis, and putting me on naproxen; he'll send me to orthopedics if that doesn't work)

But NOW, I begin my first-ever paid vacation. I shall commence by eating some zucchini and finishing 84 Charing Cross Road.

The kid is north of the border today, and she's called me a few times for long, aimless chats. As you can guess, I'm loving it.

She wishes she were home, but she sounds like she's doing fine. One more week.
